Pebbles cereals are a line of breakfast cereals made by Post Consumer Brands LLC since 1969. They are made with flavored rice, and their packaging features characters from The Flintstones. The two best known are Fruity Pebbles, introduced as Pebbles in 1969, and Cocoa Pebbles, introduced in 1970. Other varieties include Dino Pebbles, which included marshmallow pieces, and Pebbles Boulders, which have either a caramel apple flavor or a chocolate peanut butter flavor.
The Pebbles cereals have had a long-running television commercial campaign. In a typical commercial, Barney Rubble uses a disguise or other trick in hope of relieving Fred Flintstone of his cereal.

List of Commercials[]
Two early ads featured Fred and Barney singing a jingle with the lyrics "If you put sweet Pebbles in your mouth, you'll never have rocks in your head." One version was upbeat and boisterous, and the other was more of a slow, soft ballad.
Several ads had Fred and Barney interacting with live action children. These were eventually replaced by Barney's efforts to steal Pebbles from Fred.
