KABOOM is the name of a vitamin fortified, circus-themed breakfast cereal produced by General Mills, which contains fruity-flavoured corn cereal bits shaped like smiling clown faces and marshmallow bears, lions, elephants, and stars. Its mascot is a smiling circus clown. It originated in 1969.

Although known as a breakfast cereal of the 1970s and 1980s, KABOOM remains available for sale as of 2008.

Appearances

Quentin Tarantino's 2003 movie "Kill Bill Vol. 1" included a scene in which character Vernita Green pulls a weapon out of a box of KABOOM cereal in an attempt to eliminate The Bride. A box also appears as a focal point in the Butthole Surfers' video for their song "Cherub".
