Fruity Pebbles
« on: April 10, 2008, 12:09:52 PM »
I'm looking for fruity pebbles for a cookie recipie.  Do they sell 'em up here? (I live in Northern Scotland)-
I'm guessing no, so I may have substitue rice krispies or something similar.  But if yes, I will be happy!

Oh good. Honestly, I hadn't looked yet, as it just popped into my head earlier today and I thought I would ask here first, since it would save me a trip if they didn't exist.  I guess I should have looked first!   :)
Sorry for clogging up UKY!

They are one of my absolute favorite cereals and I have yet to see them anywhere.  Even in stores like Selfridges that have a decent US food section.  Maybe one of the online US food shops would have them.

Yep I'm with Karen I LOOOOOVE Fruity Pebbles and they do not sell them in the UK grocery stores (I haven't checked costco).  In fact I don't think they sell any Post cereals in the UK.  How do I know this??  I was a woman obsessed w/ them when I first moved here.

Oh no sorry!! That was my poor atempt at a joke about the preponderance of Tesco stores in the Highlands!! I have no idea if they have it or not.

Ooooohhhh I love fruity pebbles! They do sell it on the internet for delivery to the UK on the links below:

http://www.letseatdirect.com/acatalog/Breakfast___Cereals.html

http://www.americansweets.co.uk/american-cereal-79-c.asp

It seems a bit steep to pay £6 for a box of cereal, but I might just do it myself if the craving is strong enough!

Well if I can ever get my passport back from the DVLA and I actually make it to the states next week, I'm definitely stopping by a grocery store for fruity pebbles.

If you take an extra suitcase & fill it with Fruity Pebbles you could have your own Post Cereal black market trade on UKY.   ;D  Or your own personal stock cupboard.    ;)

I can't justify spending 6GBP (that's almost TWELVE DOLLARS  :o ) for a box of cereal!!  I usually come back from the states w/ 3 boxes of fruity pebbles and a couple of bottles of Autocrat coffee milk syrup. It's the only things I bring back w/ me.  Everything else 'american' I miss I just make sure to have a nibble (or 12) while I'm there!!  Now I'm sorry I threw out the rest of my FP (they were stale) cuz I think I could very easily eat a bowl- stale or not!!
