Key Takeaways
- Fruity Pebbles just released a new, limited-edition cereal flavor for spring.
- The cereal has red and white flakes that evoke the flavors of classic spring desserts.
- The new Post cereal is rolling out to stores this month.
Is Fruity Pebbles—the kid-favorite cereal that first hit shelves in the early 1970s—having a full-blown comeback? Inspired by The Flintstones cartoon characters, Fruity Pebbles has long been a staple of colorful breakfast bowls across America. And recently, the nostalgic cereal seems to be popping up everywhere.
Just a few weeks ago, Krispy Kreme offered a limited-time Fruity Pebbles Milk Original Glazed Doughnut topped with a sweet, pink cereal milk glaze and sprinkled with Fruity Pebbles. Sadly, the glazed doughnut is no more, but that doesn’t mean the fun is over just yet.
Now, in the cereal aisle next to the classic Fruity Pebbles cereal, you can find a brand-new box of colorful flakes. Instead of featuring Fred Flintstone and his best pal Barney Rubble front and center, this cereal puts the spotlight on another beloved character—Fred and Wilma’s daughter, Pebbles Flintstone.
New Strawberries & Cream Pebbles Cereal
The new, limited-edition Strawberries & Cream Pebbles cereal brings a fresh twist to the iconic brand, just in time for spring. Instead of focusing on the adults of Bedrock, this box highlights the next generation—Pebbles and her best friend Bamm-Bamm Rubble—giving them their time to shine. And it makes perfect sense. After all, the cereal is literally named after Pebbles.

Spring couldn’t be a better season to introduce this sweet and fruity flavor. It’s the time of year when strawberries are in peak season, often showing up in light, dreamy desserts like strawberry shortcake, strawberry cream pie, and layered strawberry trifles. The cereal follows that same flavor trend, and fans say it “sounds heavenly.”
Strawberries & Cream Pebbles keeps the classic Pebbles shape but swaps the rainbow palette for a simpler color scheme, evoking the images of strawberries (red) and cream (white).
Instagram’s The Cereal Queen posted about the new flavor recently, and several of her followers had the same observation: the cereal would make for a fun, spring-inspired version of krispy treats, standing in for traditional Rice Krispies.
And why stop there? You could also use Strawberries & Cream Pebbles in Chewy Cereal Cookies, fold them into white chocolate bark, or use them as a crunchy topping for strawberry ice cream.
But honestly, what this cereal really makes us want to do most is wake up on a Saturday morning with no responsibilities, pour a big bowl of cereal with milk, then plop down in front of the TV to watch old cartoons, especially The Flintstones. Those were the days, weren’t they?
