Fruity Pebbles and Cocoa Pebbles have a spot where Fred Flintstone screams “Yabba Dabba Dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”, and in so doing, he breaks Mr. Slate’s glasses, destroys a police coach by blowing it off the dinosaur it was strapped onto, blows people’s lodge hats off (which will probably get him kicked out in the future!), etc.; and all because of some prepackaged marshmallow treats made with those sugar bomb cereals.
I think this clearly shows that eating such things will make you into a hyperactive spaz, for which you will no doubt be fired, arrested, and thrown out of your social clubs, ruining your life for good! But who cares, right? Just eat ‘em up anyway! Junk food rules! (But if eating junk food makes you so loud and destructive, then it’s no wonder the government is trying to ban kids from eating it.)
I do, however, like how they got a rock metaphor in there, as The Flintstones is always wont to do, by saying: “they rock your whole mouth!” But couldn’t they have taken this even further, by saying: “They’re especially good when you’re stoned!”? Or perhaps they could say these treats are like “bricks of cement and gravel aggregate, erupting with flavor”?
Here’s the cacophonous commercial:
