Now you will be screaming for Pebbles ice-cream in both Cocoa Pebbles and Fruity Pebbles flavors. It is funny that many kids today grew up on Flintstones’ vitamins and Pebbles cereal but never saw an episode of The Flintstones. Their only contact with the characters is at the supermarket level.
Hallmark already announced their Christmas line-up of 24/7 Christmas movies. General Mills is not far behind with the release of an official release of “Elf” cereal.

Here is another invention in a long list of products that we do not need in our everyday lives. Artist and designer Dominic Wilcox just wanted to make some noise with his latest invention.

Bring on the bad guys! Funko, the toy manufacturer, is at it again as they release another set of cereal themed boxes. Once again, the toy inside plays a prominent role. Evil is at the forefront with The Little Mermaid’s Ursula and The Nightmare Before Christmas’ Oogie Boogie. Unfortunately, they are available exclusively at Spencer’s and Spirit Halloween. You can buy them both online if you are unable to make a trip to both stores. These cereal killers are ready to wreak havoc in your mouth with their multigrain colored laced colored cereal. All in good spirit, just in time for Halloween.
What do you call Lucky Charms without magically delicious marshmallows? Apha-bits cereal, of course. Post Foods introduced Marshmallow Alpa-bits in 1990. The cereal slowly disappeared in 2004 to never be seen again. You can buy only Lucky Charms without the cereal.
