Very much real, if perhaps defunct.\*\* That’s what I thought, but a check of Google shows that a search on **Stay-Puft Marshmallows** (also Stay Puffed and Sta-Puft), that, outside of the endless Ghostbusters references, I can find no evidence that Stay-Puft marshmallows ever really existed outside of the movie. I did however, find America’s favorite brand of marshmallows, **Jet Puffed** , originally made by [Kidd’s Marshmallow’s](http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUrl-g45953-d117064-r90808-e __2F__ Attraction_Review __2D__ g45953 __2D__ d117064 __2D__ Reviews __2D__ Favorite_Brands_International_Marshmallow_Factory __2D__ Henderson_Nevada __2E__ html-Favorite_Brands_International_Marshmallow_Factory-Henderson_Nevada.html), until the rocket fuel plant next door expoded, and they changed their name to Favorite Brands International, which which was acquired by [Nabisco](http://www.nabisco.com/), which was in turn acquired by Kraft Foods, which now has no reference to marshmallows at all in its [listings of U.S. brands](http://www.kraft.com/brands/namerica/us.html). So, while it seems there once was a **Jet Puffed Marshmallows** , I think **Stay-Puft** is a confabulation we all misremembered. ---

Fear Itself - Jet Puffed marshmallows are still being made. I see them at the store all the time.

My Food and Family recipes are great for new dinner ideas, easy meal prep and so much more. I don’t know if there was ever a “Stay Puffed” brand. Sounds more like a pillow name to me.

Chatchkey’s in _Office Space_ Looks like the same cheesy kind of place as TGI Fridays and Ruby Tuesday, with the same cheesy waitstaff wearing suspenders and fake smiles. Not exactly a product, but it’s kind of becoming an icon since that movie has such a cult following. At my job it’s becoming the lingo for “want to take a break?” – “Want to go to Chatchkey’s?” ---

I include the following for this thread, not because it’s interesting or amusing, but just in the interest of completeness: “Shasa” sodas. I’ve seen these cans as set dressing on several different sitcoms; _Roseanne_ comes immediately to mind. The logo on the can was made to look like that of the discount brand “Shasta,” but without the “T.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fictional-name-brand-products/99808.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fictional-name-brand-products/99808.md?page=3)
