Never been a Kiss fan, unlike some of the flunkies around here! ;o)

If I was your age, I probably wouldn't be either.

Depends on how you define "success".

Not until it reaches the 1970s...

Kaboom was a cereal that lasted through the 1970s (although it may have begun in the 1960s). I think it is another General Mills product.

It had a clown/circus theme. Think that "boom" was from a cannon. The cereal was similar to Lucky Charms except the cereal was color (purple, turquoise, red, etc.) and the marshmallows were peach/flesh colored stars.

In Kill Bill, it is the cereal that the woman is hiding her gun inside. Really some brilliance that went over the heads of much of the audience who missed this detail.
