00:00Why is Fruity Pebbles trending? Why are fans swearing off cereal? And what does this have

00:03to do with Secret Lives of Mormon Wives? Here's everything you need to know in two minutes.

00:08Fruity Pebbles is trending on social media, and no, it has nothing to do with a Thanksgiving

00:12dessert. Fans are asking, can someone please explain what the Fruity Pebbles scandal is?

00:17But first, for those unfamiliar with the show, Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is a reality TV

00:22series that follows the lives of, quote, mom-talk women, which are influencers from TikTok sharing

00:27their experience in a modern Mormon community. The show is full of personal drama, family dynamics,

00:32and, as it turns out, some very private secrets. Two of the main cast members are Demi Ingeman and

00:37Jessie Nadekora. Demi is married to Brent Ingeman, and the couple has been featured on the show for

00:42multiple seasons. And Jessie is a fellow castmate who often interacts with them in storylines and

00:47on social media. Since season one, fans have noticed a running joke, where Demi and Brent

00:52referenced something called Fruity Pebbles. And it sounded like a quirky nickname until Jessie revealed

00:56its shocking meaning on Instagram this week. The reveal that urine is allegedly part of Demi

01:14and Brent's private life came in the middle of a cast feud. And TikTok has been digging through old

01:19episodes and social media posts just to catch every Fruity Pebbles reference. Even fellow cast star and

01:24new bachelorette, Taylor Frankie Paul, seems to be joining in on the conversation as well.

01:28And according to reports, Demi responded on Instagram saying the act was one-time consensual

01:33and private, and that she shared it with Jessie two years ago, which led to fans digging up an old

01:38taste test video, although it's unclear what's in the second cup.

01:42Do any of them taste familiar?

01:45You guys are so dumb.

01:47Demi has also claimed that Jessie brought up the secret to distract from her own drama,

01:51including an emotional affair storyline and a separate incident during filming in Italy.

01:56Jessie dismissed Demi's response as a PR move, insisting that she has been open about her story

02:00while accusing Demi of hiding things and going even deeper into the term clarifying that it came

02:05from the alleged taste. Meanwhile, the internet has gone wild with memes and jokes about never buying

02:10Fruity Pebbles again, while creators like Giorgio says raise their own reaction and concern.

02:14Are there any doctors out here who can confirm? I was under the impression that

02:19if your urine was sweet or tasted like Fruity Pebbles, there was other issues like maybe kidney

02:25stones or diabetes.

02:27So the term Fruity Pebbles refers to a private consensual act that was exposed to reality TV

02:32and social media drama. Share your thoughts and follow us everywhere at What's Trending.
