Cashing in on Ghostbusters mania that hit kids across the nation in the mid 1980s, Ralston produced Ghostbusters Cereal in 1985. Made up of crunchy red and yellow "no signs" and marshmallow ghosts, the commercial featured a rapping ghost from the Ghostbusters logo singing a parody of the movie's theme song about the cereal:
"There's a new cereal...in the neighborhood.
With O's and ghosts...tastes real good.
Marshmallow ghosts, fruit flavored O's
Ghostbusters tastes great, with milk and juice and toast
A nutritious breakfast with a ghost
What ya gonna crunch? Ghostbusters!"
It couldn't come at a better time, since The Real Ghostbusters animated series debuted in the Fall of 1986, driving up the demand for everything "GB."
