If you've noticed that Fruity Pebbles cereal is suddenly trending online and you're wondering why, we've got answers and it all revolves around "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives."
Fans of the hit reality show probably remember the reference to the cereal in Season 1, but no explanation was ever given. Now that there's serious beef between Demi Engemann and Jessi Ngatikaura, the truth is coming out and you might not be ready to hear it.
'Mormon Wives' Has Fruity Pebbles Trending For A Wild Reason

Viewers of the reality show might remember a scene in Season 1 where Demi told the other MomTok moms about a NSFW moment that involved her husband, Bret Engemann, and Fruity Pebbles. But not much else was said or even insinuated about the situation so viewers were left to try to just figure out possible scenarios on their own. (We bet no one actually thought this would be the story!)
Fast forward to Season 3, a rift between once besties Demi and Jessi has escalated to a place where secrets are being spilled and let's just say...no one was expecting this.
Jessi Spilled The 'Pee' About Demi And Fruity Pebbles

After some serious bickering back and forth between Jessi and Demi over Marciano Brunette from "Vanderpump Villa" and just what happened between all of them, the battle really heated up.
Jessi said in a video that she's "loving this Demi crash-out era right now," after Demi said Jessi was jealous of Lisa Vanderpump talking about her. Jessi rebutted, "Her saying something like this is laughable because genuinely would never be jealous of someone saying these things Lisa's saying about her."
And then the truth bomb was dropped.
"So since she wants to be petty and be an a--hole, I think I'm just going to go ahead and say that Grandpa Bret likes to drink her p-ss like it's dirty soda, and he gulps it down like water," Jessi shockingly said. "And that's what Fruity Pebbles is." (Cue the gasps...because WHAT?)
The Internet Went Wild After Hearing What Fruity Pebbles Means On 'Mormon Wives'
It didn't take long before the internet began buzzing about the "pee" that Jessi dropped online. TikToker @stephwithdadeets didn't waste any time sharing a video explaining the situation.
"If you ever wondered what Fruity Pebbles was all about in 'Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,' well today's your lucky day. Well, not so lucky day because I am really disgusted right now," Steph said. "Gotta say, I do love petty Jessi because she gives us a lot of tea."
She then shared the clips that started this part of the war between Jessi and Demi before sharing the real meaning behind Fruity Pebbles on the show.
"Ew," Steph said, which probably mirrors everyone else's reaction to hearing this news. Steph then shared the clip of Jessi explaining Fruity Pebbles.
Demi Shared A TikTok Video Playing Into The Fruity Pebbles Reveal
Shortly after the big reveal happened from Jessi, Demi took to TikTok to play into the news.
Captioning her video, "Anyway," Demi and Bret jump into the news headfirst, and the comments didn't disappoint.
"Fruity Pebbles is about to issue you a cease and desist," one person wrote. Another added, "Notice how Fruity Pebbles didn’t comment on here like they did Jessi TikTok." Another viewer said, "Nobody not even the FBI would be able to make me admit this."
One other TikToker wrote, "Oh that’s not-" and Demi replied, "But have you tried it," and maybe that's all fans needed to hear to decide if this is all real.
'We Asked For The Tea, We Got The Cereal'
Since the cereal tea dropped, there's been some back-and-forth videos from Demi and Jessi. In Jessi's latest, she lit some candles in a bowl of Fruity Pebbles, captioning the video, "It's actually romantic."
"We asked for the tea, we got the cereal," one viewer wrote. Another added, "what happened to the lives being secret?" One other viewer joked, "Coincidentally Demi’s cereal was also warm."
It was recently announced that "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" was picked up for a fourth season, so one viewer wrote, "Thank you for keeping us busy while we wait for S4! Not all heroes wear capes babe."
Many others commented on how much they "love messy Jessi."
Was this the tea you expected to be spilled or are you absolutely shocked? One thing's for sure; there's probably a lot more drama to come thanks to MomTok before Season 4 is even released.
