Post is giving some of its most popular cereals a seasonal twist with the debut of three new cereal flavors and two size extensions.
The first of the new offerings is Summer Fruity Pebbles Cereal, which is a sweet, summery take on the classic cereal. This new version features festive red and blue flakes – just like the 4th of July, but in Bedrock. Next up is the new Fruity Pebbles Waffles Cereal, which is actually a hybrid of Fruity Pebbles and Waffle Crisp, boasting crunchy waffle pieces infused with maple syrup alongside the fruity taste of Fruity Pebbles. Lastly, the brand is adding a new Frosted Chocolate Cake Cereal, which features eight layers of crunchy goodness and rich chocolate flavors.
