Fans of abruptly discontinued breakfast item say they would 'eat enough to keep an entire post mill

CEREAL fans are mourning a limited-time flavor of an iconic breakfast staple produced by Post.

Fruity Pebbles and Coco Pebbles have become two of the most iconic American cereals to hit the shelves since their introduction in the late 1960s to early '70s.

But there was another flavor that was recently introduced into the cereal market but quickly removed from grocery stores.

Peanut Butter & Cocoa Pebbles were around from 2018 until 2020, according to a post from Discontinued Foods! on X, formerly known as Twitter.

"I would eat enough of this to keep an entire post mill in production," one fan wrote in the thread.

Another said: "These made INCREDIBLE Rice Krispie-esque treats, I'm sad they're off the market."

Since the cereal only lasted two years, many X users did not even get a chance to try it but said they would have liked to.

"I never saw these and 100 percent would have bought them," one X user said.

Another wrote: "I'm so sad I missed this would love to try it."

"Wow, looks amazing, wish this made a comeback," a third said.

Peanut Butter & Cocoa Pebbles are not the only peanut butter cereal that recently got the ax.

Post's competitor, General Mills, confirmed in late July that their Plentifull Cereals were discontinued.

The nut butter-coated whole grain cereal with added nut and seed clusters came in at least two different varieties, peanut butter and cinnamon almond butter.

"Bring back the Plentifull Cereal," a fan said on X.

"That s**t was for real the best cereal I ever f**kin had."

However, General Mills responded with some bad news for Plentifull lovers.

"We're so sorry but our Plentifull cereals have been discontinued very recently," General Mills replied.

"We'll let our teams know you’d like to see these products make a comeback. Thank you!"
