Fruity Pebbles Comparison

My son loves cereal. More specifically, he loves both Post brand Fruity and Cocoa Pebbles. These cereals are so similar that they are almost the same cereal. Upon closer inspection, I realized there are notable amounts of differences. For the purpose of comparing and contrasting, I will only list and describe a few. This first, and probably the most notable similarity is they are both naturally and artificially sweetened rice cereal. They have very similar ingredients that vary only slightly. Both cereals contain rice, sugar, hydrogenated vegetable oil (coconut and palm kernel oils), salt, colors, and natural and artificial flavors. Differences in the ingredients is Cocoa Pebbles obviously contain cocoa (processed by alkali) and caramel flavor that is absent from Fruity Pebbles ingredients. Fruity Pebbles, on the other hand, include colorings such as red 40, yellow 6, turmeric oleoresin (color), blue 1, yellow 5, and blue 2. It also includes Butylated hydroxyanisole or BHA, a food additive used to preserve and keep food from spoilage. BHA is approved by the food
