Ghostbusters Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Collab

Krispy Kreme released a new Ghostbusters collaboration for the franchise's 40th anniversary. 

If you're new here, I'm a big Ghostbusters fan. I've had marshmallow flavored Slimer shakes, Ghostbusters burgers, Twinkies, Ecto-Cooler, and official novelty campfire marshmallows. Admittedly I was not a huge fan of Frozen Empire, the newest movie in the franchise, so I skipped those specific food-tie-ins intentionally, but there was no way I was missing these doughnuts. 

Speaking of movies, since my last post I've watched:

1. The Fall of the House of Usher (Netflix) - 8/10 - second time watching it through
2. Ouija: Origin of Evil (Netflix) - 8/10 - liked it more than I thought I would .
3. Scooby Doo on Zombie Island (Max) - 10/10 - It's Terror Time Again is my jam.
4. School Spirits (season 1) (Netflix) - 8/10 - it's campy- fun, I really enjoyed it and want more!
5. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice - (Theaters) 8/10 - a third time! "Keeps getting funnier every single time I see it!" 
6. Agatha All Along (Disney+) - 6/10 - fun so far, but I'm not loving it like everyone else
7. It's What's Inside (Netflix) - 10/10 - dark comedy is my favorite, refreshing and fun 

Flavor-wise, this collaboration is pretty basic, but Krispy Kreme is a reliable brand that rarely misses. Even though these flavors aren't all that different from other offerings they've had in the past, I know they're going to deliver that classic Krispy Kreme flavor I know and love, so I'm down to buy them even if it's more-so novelty decorations. 

Ghostbustin' Burger & Stay Puft Slime Shake - Wayback Burger

Ghostbustin' Burger & Stay Puft Slime Shake - Wayback Burger

I'm finally getting around to typing up this long overdue review! Nearly 2 months ago Dinosaur Dracula posted his review of the Ghostbusters themed menu offered at Wayback Burgers. Being a huge nerd of all things Halloween-ie, and a fan of the movies, I ran right out and placed an order.

Being an adult sucks. It's Saturday, and instead of sleeping in and being a bum in my PJ's I woke up early to take a 2-hour state-regulated standardized test on art making and content knowledge. Then I came home  and cleaned out my car (because I dropped my license under the seat and couldn't find it), made lunch, did three loads of laundry, folded all three loads of laundry and dusted. After all that adulting...I deserve a treat. 

I picked up these special Ghostbusters themed marshmallows a while back and I really wanted to review them...but they're just normal marshmallows in wacky shapes and colors, so I didn't think the review would be all that interesting.

Instead, I'll just give you a close up look at the shapes and show you what I made with them.  

Ecto Cooler & Ghostbusters 2016 REVIEW

Ecto Cooler - Shop Rite ($1.99)

I finally saw the new Ghostbusters! I know, I know, I'm so far behind that all the controversy is over and no one cares, but as a Ghostbusters fan I really wanted to form an opinion for myself. I grabbed a few juiceboxes of Ecto Cooler, and my sister, and headed to the theater for an early morning showing. (I'm frugal a cheapskate and I like to wait for $6.00 showings.)  

First, I'll write up the Ecto Cooler review, then I'll share my thoughts on the movie. (Also, check out this slime background! It's awesome and I'm pretty proud of myself.)

Get ready for a nostalgic, fan-girl-ish, ranting-style review with tons of nostalgia! I know this meme has been done to death but...

Robin Williams ;_;

Having all this novelty Ghostbsuters stuff on the grocery shelves has made me so irrationally happy. I was just a kid in the late 80's, so the adult humor in the live action films was lost on me (although I still enjoyed them). It was The Real Ghostbusters animated series with silly side-kick Slimer, bizarre blonde-pompadour Egon, and Garfield-the-cat sounding Peter Venkman that sucked me into the fandom. I still have some of my action figures and ghastly plastic ghoulies in a storage bin in my attic.

I love this franchise and I happily purchased all the novelty Ghostbusters snacks I could find. I bought a 10-pack of the Ecto-Cooler juice boxes, some Key Lime Slime Twinkies, some Slimer and Marshmallow-man-shaped 'mallows and these Stay Puft-themed Twinkies. That's right, Twinkies released 2 novelty limited edition flavors! Why? Well...
