Bombastium
Encyclopedia : B : BO : BOM : Bombastium
Bombastium is a fictional element which is not in the periodic table. Atomic number and atomic symbol are unknown. Bombastium, mentioned the first time by Carl Barks in 1957 (Uncle Scrooge No. 17), is claimed to be the rarest element in the world. Even though it is very coveted, its usage potential is not entirely known. Though, it does have the characteristic that it tastes differently every time you taste it, and scientists did eventually discover that one atom of bombastium dropped into a barrel of water becomes one barrel of ice cream. Also, to avoid evaporation, bombastium must be kept frozen.
The last piece of bombastium known to exist was acquired by Scrooge McDuck of Duckburg in 1957, but at that time it was also heavily sought after by the hostile nation of Brutopia.
The element was also used for the 5-part DuckTales episode "Time Is Money", which introduced Bubba the Caveduck.
