20 Ghostbusters Easter Eggs You Never Noticed

By Tom Baker /

9. Stay Puft Foreshadowing

Of the many ingenious parts of Ghostbusters €“ and if this list has proven anything, there are many €“ is the denouement. Which is to say, the climax. As in, the bit where it all goes to sh*t. When the team are faced with the architect of their destruction, and it winds up being the mascot of a marshmallow company, that's when you know this is a higher plane of comedy. Who the heck is the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, though? Is it some forgotten eighties American brand? Nope, entirely invented, but not unfamiliar €“ if you've been paying attention, anyway. There's a bunch of background references to the brand throughout the film, with a bag of the treats next to the self-cooking eggs and on a billboard during a later montage.
