It&#8217;s like Post took everything that was great about Cocoa Pebbles and instead of sticking it into this cereal, they shoved it down a snaggle-toothed pig garbage disposal.  I don&#8217;t know why Dino would want his name associated with this product because it&#8217;s something that he would either bury in the backyard and forget about or squeeze out as a steaming pile of poop.  <\/p>\n<p>I was hoping the marshmallowy boulders, graham bone shapes, and crunchy chocolatey nuggets would create a s&#8217;mores flavor that would take me back to my Boy Scout camp days when we would take showers as one big naked group, wear shorts with an inseam that would make Daisy Duke wearers blush, spray enough mosquito repellant on our bodies to ensure future sterilization, and sit around the campfire building the perfect s&#8217;more that was made up of one-third of a Hershey&#8217;s bar, with one well-done giant marshmallow, and in between two Honey Maid graham crackers.  Unfortunately, the three parts of the Dino S&#8217;mores Pebbles cereal couldn&#8217;t bring back those memories because those three combined did not taste anything resembling s&#8217;mores.  If I was at a camp that had s&#8217;mores that tasted like this cereal, I would cry like a baby, call for my mommy, and pee in my pants to ensure I would be sent home.<\/p>\n<p>The chocolatey nuggets were not even close to being as chocolatey as Cocoa Pebbles or Cocoa Krispies.  The marshmallow boulders and graham bone shapes weren&#8217;t very plentiful in the cereal.  If you were a microorganism, the marshmallow boulders would actually seem like a large rocks that have the capacity to flatten you, but the small freeze-dried marshmallows that come in hot chocolate packets made the marshmallows in this cereal seem like specks of dirt.<\/p>\n<p>S&#8217;mores are supposed to be delicious and messy.  Sure, during Boy Scout camp I later regretting eating a dozen of them in one sitting while pooping into a hole in the ground, but while I was eating them, that sugar bomb tasted like a warm hug in my mouth.  The Dino S&#8217;mores Pebbles cereal is more like a towel whip to the ass in the group shower.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 3\/4 cups &#8211; 100 calories, 1.5 grams of fat, 1 gram of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 60 milligrams of sodium, 80 milligrams of potassium, 24 grams of carbohydrates, 4 grams of dietary fiber, 11 grams of sugar, 9 grams of other carbohydrates, 1 gram of protein, and a bunch of vitamins and minerals.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Post Dino S&#8217;mores Pebbles<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b>  $4.99<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b>  11.5 ounces<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b>  Star Market<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b>  2 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  Vitamins and minerals.
