The Delicious Taste of Commercialism

This Fruity Pebbles fudge is absolutely delicious and so easy to make, but we wouldn’t have it without three key components – fudge, Fruit Pebbles, and commercialism. Commercialism? What? Oh yes, you’ll find out about that when we dig into the history of the cereal. But for now, let’s start with the older of the two primary foods in this recipe – fudge.

The History of Fudge

The exact origin of this sweet treat is still disputed, but most theories revolve around the story of an accident involving a mishap with a batch of caramels. This “fudged” batch of caramels created a sweet block akin to what we now call fudge.

Original fudge recipes required exacting precision. Measurements, cooking times, and constant stirring were absolutely critical to creating early fudge. It was time-intensive labor.

Today’s fudge is far easier to make, as more and more recipes were created for home cooks who didn’t have the time or patience for exact measurements, candy thermometers, and the like.

The History of Fruity Pebbles

Fruity Pebbles are one of the most delicious examples of commercialism and marketing that has ever existed. That’s right, this delicious cereal was 100% pure marketing.

In 1971, Fruity Pebbles Cereal debuted to attract and satisfy young fans of the popular cartoon The Flintstones (1960-1966) and movies that followed. Along with Cocoa Puffs, Fruity Pebbles was part of a cereal duo intended solely as a cash grab to capitalize on the popularity of The Flintstones.

The working name for the cereal was Rubble Stones, but Fruity Pebbles was later used to better reflect the product. I’m so glad a corporate office somewhere decided to do a cereal tie-in.

And so, Fruity Pebbles, and their delicious cousin, Cocoa Pebbles, were born. Thank goodness for corporate America. Without them, we’d never have been able to enjoy this delicious, fruity cereal!
