In the vein of the usual hard-hitting, existential questions that we ask, here comes another doozy: Which chocolatey breakfast cereal do you like best?
- Cocoa Krispies
- Cocoa Pebbles
- Cocoa Puffs
Obviously, this ultra-deep question boils down to the differences between Krispies, Pebbles, and Puffs. The definitions of the cereal types were derived from seconds, nay even minutes devoted to making some stuff up in my head.
Krispies are the result of blasting rice grains with hot air, thus aerating them into the holey, “krisp” form. The hot air consists of 78% nitrogen, 20% oxygen, and 2% cocoa powder, giving the krispies their chocogoodness.
Pebbles come from an ancient Mayan quarry found in South America. This quarry is the only known source of cacao rocks. The rocks are pulverized by a large club wielded by a powerful baby named Bam-Bam, thus creating the beloved pebbles.
Puffs are produced by cuckoo birds that are fed only Hershey’s chocolate bars. The puffs are aged one year in hidden areas of shelves and pantries before being boxed for consumption, thus creating their crunchy texture, which seems contrary to their light, fluffy name.
Cool Mum prefers Cocoa Puffs. She likes their crunch, which stays crunchy in milk. I dislike soggy cereal as well, but I actually like Cocoa Pebbles the best. There’s something about their flavor – they seem to have a unique flavor as opposed to the Puffs or Krispies. It may be a South American thing, or the plastic bags in which they’re stored might just be made out of flavorful toxic chemicals.
Which do you like best: Cocoa Krispies, Pebbles, or Puffs?
We really are BBFF’s, CD.
I prefer Cocoa Pebbles as well. It’s the weird South American taste of it. I would know, seeing as I was born there.
of course we’re BBFFs. that was another very scientific process to figure that out.
Pebbles. It’s the most chocolate bang for your buck. But I buy the puffs for my girls.
We have Cocoa Krispies now, and they’re very lacking.
None! I love chocolate, can’t stand chocolate cereal. Something to do with it being a dry chocolate (milk cannot change it’s actual composition). I also won’t eat Oreos (I have no problem eating the icing then putting the cookie back in the package), other chocolate cookies, or chocolate cake (unless it’s a very moist cake, but very moist cakes are the only kind of cakes I eat no matter the flavor).
What about chocolate milk?
Cocoa Puffs, krispies and pebbles get too soggy too fast.
How about Hershey’s Kisses in milk?
Wow, I don’t know, but this makes me want to do a taste test to find out!
That’s a blog post!
I’ve got another question…
By which breakfast cereal did Cool Dad refer to himself while he was dating Cool Mum? As in, “Who’s your little _______ _______?”
1) Cocoa Krispie
2) Cocoa Pebble
3) Cocoa Puff
I know the answer to that one!
4) Bowl of Unflavored Cream of Wheat
Creamy, creamy wheat for creamy, creamy people.
oh yeah man
I like the one that turns the milk the chocolatiest, and if I recall correctly, that would be Pebbles.
Wait, maybe I like Count Chocula better. Or do they even still sell Count Chocula?
The answer is… Pebbles! ding ding ding. I will be giddy if they’re on sale at the store by my subway stop.
just ate some cocoa krispies…really don’t like the way the chocolate coating almost instantly disappears when the krispies hit the milk. but the pebbles’ shape is so weak! puffs are definitely the way to go.
Puffs tear up the roof of my mouth. Yes, I could eat less per spoonful, but I’m a hardcore eater.
cocoa puffs! again, this country has none of the other 2 cereals.
Have you considered moving?
we just moved here actually
just getting used to this life
Cocoa Pebbles. They taste the most chocolate-y and have the best texture. Cocoa Puffs are a little weak on the chocolate side, and Cocoa Krispies get soggy really quicky.
Another vote for the Pebbles. I feel SO vindicated by this post.
OMGGGG, you MUSTTT try Honey Bunches of Oats Chocolate Clusters, it’s delicious beyond compare, and healthy!!
Unfortunately it’s EXTREMELY difficult to find and therefore is possibly seasonal?? But if you can find any grab as many as you can!!
Intriguing – let us know if you come across some!
