Kaboom was the name of a vitamin-fortified, circus-themed breakfast cereal introduced by General Mills in 1969, which contained oat cereal bits shaped like smiling clown faces and marshmallow stars--later adding bears, lions, and elephants to the marshmallow shapes in the mid 1980s. Its mascot was a smiling circus clown. [1]
