Yabba Dabba Doo.. I’m back with another cereal review!
Today we look at a limited edition version of Pebbles called “Pebbles Boulders”. Sounds like a strange oxymoron. It’s touted to have “Stone Age Caramel Taste”. Since I love caramel apples, I figured this should be wonderful. Although, I wonder why they release a caramel apple flavor during the Summer? Isn’t that more of a Fall time treat? Oh well.
When I opened up the bag, I the scent just about knocked me over. It is a strong caramel scent. Way too strong. I got the same reaction when I opened some leftovers from some forgotten leftovers in the back of the fridge.
After pouring it out in a bowl, I noticed that there’s way more caramel boulders than apple “bones” This definitely overpowers the taste. It just isn’t good. I would say it’s up there with the worst cereal I’ve ever had. Yuck. It’s got a horrible aftertaste as well. Stay away from this stuff! But, if you must try it, have some Listerine handy to clean the rancid taste outta your mouth.

damn…I gotta find a box of these!
Yo, I’m telling you: when I open up the bag, doesn’t it smell like stale wine? Goddamn! I don’t touch alcohol in my life. Except the blood of Christ of my communion church. That’s how it smells like: That strong. Woof.
Well, I brought a box of these back to the UK (as I’ve been a mahoosive fan of Pebbles since I was about 6 (…and I’m 34 now!) and I devoured two bowls of the stuff earlier. Must agree the ‘aroma’ was ridiculously intense. And now I’ve got a serious case of gut rot. I’ll finish the box for the sake of finishing the box however, agreed, this is definitely one to miss.
