Is the cereal really called "Kaboom!"? The packaging that I can find online only has it listed as "KABOOM," all caps, with no exclamation mark. I haven't ever eaten it, and thus don't have a box on hand to reference, but why the exclamation mark?--68.0.55.203 05:24, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I DO have it on hand, and you are correct. Best Cereal ever btw. Nar Matteru (talk) 19:19, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Kaboom.jpg[edit]

Image:Kaboom.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I remember this cereal, but I sure as hell don't remember any marshmallows. As far a fruity flavor? That was claimed on the box I think, but it sure didn't tasted like it. It tasted more like taking some stale Cheerios, getting them extra soggy then eating them after they dry back out.--208.38.98.155 (talk) 06:26, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Grain-flavored?[edit]

That's a typo, right? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.182.130.241 (talk) 05:35, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That's a slander against grain not a typo. It's actually despair-flavored. "If the Morlocks had a cereal it would be Kaboom." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.140.207.76 (talk) 00:30, 26 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oat or Corn?[edit]

The article states the grain is "oats," but the box says "corn." I'm guessing at some point GM changed to corn to save money. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.204.241.84 (talk) 22:08, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
