Kaboom was the name of a vitamin fortified, circus-themed breakfast cereal produced by General Mills, which contained oat cereal bits shaped like smiling clown faces and marshmallow bears, lions, elephants, and stars. Its mascot was a smiling circus clown. It originated in 1969. The original Kaboom was an oat-based cereal. In approximately 2005, General Mills changed the recipe, so that the primary ingredient was corn. Known primarily as a breakfast cereal of the 1970s and 1980s, Kaboom remained available for sale until 2010 when it was discontinued by General Mills. ==Appearances== * Kaboom cereal was referenced in the first chapter of Don DeLillo's 1985 novel White Noise. * Quentin Tarantino's 2003 movie ''Kill Bill: Volume 1'' included a scene in which character Vernita Green uses a gun hidden in a box of Kaboom cereal in an attempt to kill The Bride. * A box of Kaboom also appears as a focal point in the Butthole Surfers' video for their song "Cherub". * Kaboom cereal was referenced in the "Game of Tones" episode of ''Futurama''. * Kaboom was the subject of a humorous essay at Ace of Spades HQ on September 4, 2013. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kaboom (breakfast cereal)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
