To get the most out of their rights to use the Ghostbusters brand, Ralston introduced three cereals over the course of a few years: Ghost Busters, The Real Ghost Busters and Slimer! And The Real Ghostbusters. All three cereals appear to have been the same cereal repackaged.

When this cereal - the first of the three - first hit shelves, an ad with the following song hit television:

There's a new cereal in the neighborhood
with O's and ghosts
(Tastes real good... Ghostbusters!)
Marshmallow ghosts... fruit flavored O's
Ghostbusters taste great with milk and juice and toast
(a nutritious breakfast with the ghost... Ghostbusters!)
What you gonna crunch? (Ghostbusters!)


The following text is from the Ghostbusters cereal box and coupons for the cereal:
  • four-grain goodness
  • natural fruit flavors
  • fortified with 9 essential vitamins and minerals
  • bigger box, better value
  • no tropical oils
  • with Slimer marshmallows
Known Premiums: Glow In The Dark Slimer Door Hanger; "Back Off! I'm a Ghostbuster" Flip-Open Identification Badge; Limited Edition Hologram Series Cereal Boxes; "I've Been Slimed" Button, Ghost Flyer Glowing Disk

In 1989, Ralston introduced Ghostbusters II cereal as a tie-in with the release of the filmGhostbusters II. Once again, the actual cereal appeared to be the same.
