Cherry Bomb is an explosive plant from Plants vs. Zombies, the tower-defense game released by PopCap Games in 2009. In the original game, players place it on the lawn to destroy zombies within a nearby area after a short delay. Its compact explosion audio became familiar through repeated gameplay, walkthroughs, compilations, and fan-made edits. The effect remains useful because it communicates immediate destruction while retaining the colorful, humorous tone associated with the series rather than sounding like a realistic battlefield explosion.
