Stay Puft Marshmallow Man nostalgia surfaces in Ghostbusters conversations
In case you are wondering, the Stay Puft Marshmallow man is *not* product placement, because they made it up for the film. Maybe they tried to sell it to Jet-Puffed, or even Michelin tires, but they decided they did not want their brand associated with Zuul. Lawyers amirite. #hatm
One of those movies that ends with the climax, straight from resolution to the closing credits and song. A lost art. #hatm
I'm old enough to have seen the movie when it came out, and I knew it was a fictitious ad mascot, but one of the things that works so well about the movie is that without even an explanation, you just "get" that this is a beloved product mascot in the GHOSTBUSTERS universe, turned evil destroyer.
I always wonder if M&M's regretted turning down the opportunity to be featured in ET after they saw what a runaway success it was
TIL. I figured it was an East Coast brand that I’ve never heard of here on the west.
