Post Consumer Brands has brought back a specific flavor of Pebbles Cereal for a special occasion, as they are celebrating 55 years of the cereal with the Birthday Cake flavor. It's insane to think it's been around that long, but if you think about it, most of the brand-name cereals on the market have roots that go back over 50 years, some even a century. But Pebbles Cereal got its start in October 1971 after being reintroduced into the market from the previous Sugar Rice Krinkles brand, and given the Fruit and Cocco flavors with Fred and Barney from The Flintstones serving as "spokestoons" in a partnership with Hanna-Barbera that has lasted since Day One.
