I remember Kaboom being a overly-sweet, neon-colored, and really vile tasting. I'm sure it was full of artificial dyes that cause cancer, sugar and chemicals. My friend's dad threw out a box because he thought the blue/green tidbits were moldy. Oh, does anyone remember a really revolting product that was out in the early or mid seventies? They were these grilled-cheese type of sandwiches -- varieties included plain, pizza, and ham -- and you put them in the toaster to heat up. You could get them in the dairy section, and Pillsbury may have made them. They were just awful tasting, and I'm not surprised they were pulled from the shelves. Also, does anyone recall frozen cupcakes -- a yellow assortment and a chocolate one -- made by Stouffers?

Are you kidding me? My brother and I were addicted to Kaboom cereal. That was great stuff. Of course when you are a kid anything sweet mixed with milk was a treat. I haven't had it for years so I don't know if I would still like it. What I remember I loved it.

I used to love this cereal. My brother and I used to load on the sugar (yuk!).

i saw this around 1973, my mom wouldn't buy it until around 1976 and i ate it in the late 1970s. it dissapreared by the early 1980s and i saw it again in 1987 then it dissappeared again until i saw it around 1999 now it is gone again but i think you can order it from general mills' website. hands down this was my favorite cereal then and now.

Funny thing, I was in Tampa, Fl in 2006 and stopped in a grocery store and saw a box of Kaboom cereal. I thought to myself "A. They still make it down south and B. That box is really old" I opted not to buy it, though for a minute, I wanted it.
