Fruity Pebbles

Fruity Pebbles is part of a brand of breakfast cereal manufactured by Post Consumer Brands, based on the TV series The Flintstones. It contains crisp rice cereal bits with a variety of fruit flavors and sugar. It was first sold on the West Coast in 1969 as Pebbles, and went nationwide as Fruity Pebbles in October 1971. Commercials usually revolve around Barney trying to steal Fred's Fruity Pebbles.

For the 50th anniversary in 2021, Post produced Fruity Pebbles-flavored cake and ice cream.

In 1993, Green Jellÿ released the song "Anarchy in Bedrock," which was featured a year later in the 1994 live-action film The Flintstones, and the accompanying album, The Flintstones: Songs from Bedrock.
