WWE Champion John Cena is starring in a new ad for the popular children’s cereal, Fruity Pebbles. Cena has not only replaced Fred Flintstone on the cereal boxes, he has also replaced him and Barney Rubble in the advertisements as well. You can watch the new commercial below:
Cena’s association with Fruity Pebbles began after former WWE Champion the Rock insulted “The Champ,” claiming that his attire of multi-colored t-shirts that rotated every 6 months caused him to be “walking around here like a big bowl of Fruity Pebbles.” Fans then began to chant, “Fruity Pebbles,” towards the reigning champ, they also brought boxes of the cereal into the arenas to taunt him. After a year and a half of this, a partnership between the WWE and Post cereals began, and now Cena can be seen on boxes of the breakfast product in supermarkets everywhere.
