Flashback Friday


One of my favorite cereals as a kid was Kaboom. In case you haven't had the pleasure of trying it, it was awesome. It was one of the first sugar-coated cereals to be advertised as vitamin fortified. Kaboom was brought to us by the fine folks at General Mills. The cereal was made up off fruit flavored corn cereal pieces shaped like smiling clown faces with the ever popular hard marshmallow bears, lions, elephants and stars.
The commercials featured a circus clown, pictured on the box. I don't remember a whole lot about the commercials except that something would explode and go "Kaboom" and then all of the little cereal pieces would be flying through the air. Yep, they don't make cereal commercials like that anymore.
