They look so alike that maybe I put the original Fruity Pebbles bar in the Fruity Pebbles Birthday Cake wrapper and vice versa in the photos above and below. Or maybe not? You&#8217;ll never know, and I&#8217;ll take that secret with me to my grave.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/fruitypebblesbcbar3.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Frankford Fruity Pebbles Birthday Cake Candy Bar Back\" title=\"fruitypebblesbcbar3.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While they look similar, they definitely don&#8217;t taste the same. Well, more specifically, the white cremes that both have don&#8217;t taste alike. At first, I thought the very sweet white base dominated the bar&#8217;s flavor, with the cereal taking a distant third-row backseat. It was like a cake with TOO MUCH frosting. But then, after eating a few more pieces, the sweetness mellowed out a bit, and I could taste a better balance between the cereal and white confection. Although the creamy base noticeably stands out more.<\/p>\n<p>This bar tastes different from the original Fruity Pebbles Candy Bar, but it&#8217;s not as toothsome as the original. It&#8217;s an okay treat, but I wish the cereal was a bit more prominent because, after all, we are celebrating it.<\/p>\n<h3>Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s hard to believe Pebbles cereal is 50 years old. It makes me feel old, like having the rookie cards of baseball players who are now major league managers.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/fruitypebblesbcbar4.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Frankford Fruity Pebbles Birthday Cake Candy Bar Fossil\" title=\"fruitypebblesbcbar4.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Also, the cereal fossilized in the white creme still has some crispiness.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>The original Fruity Pebbles Candy Bar is delightful, especially if you&#8217;re a fan of the cereal. And if you&#8217;re that into Fruity Pebbles, you might find this birthday cake version to be a little disappointing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCLOSURE:<\/strong> I received free product samples.
