The story · 1987

The story of Kiwi Kaboom

Kiwi Kaboom arrived when kiwi was the fanciest fruit at the grocery store and nobody knew how to eat one. The soda was pink and green and tasted like a fruit salad with fireworks. The can had a cartoon kiwi with a fuse on top. Moms bought it because it seemed healthy, which it definitely was not.

Fun fact

Plenty of kids had their very first real kiwi only after drinking Kiwi Kaboom, and were shocked it was fuzzy.
