By Thanksgiving weekend 1991, the Stay Puft franchise had expanded to "Stay Puft on Ice," a figure skating show. In the Sedgewick Hotel, on the ground floor in the lobby near check in/out, a bystander noted that he was going to take his children to the show. [1] During the Times Square incident, a reporter mentioned Stay Puft was the star of his own popular children's show. [2] The show is titled "Stay Puft and Friends" and airs Saturday mornings at 8 am. Later in Times Square, there is a billboard for the program right across the street from the laundromat. After Stay Puft is defeated, it is possible to get a call from the Stay Puft Marshmallows Company, who will complain and threaten to sue the Ghostbusters for copyright infringement. [citation needed]

Stay Puft Marshmallows are one of the many high quality products we make here at Comm Core. Frankly, we're outraged. You may have fooled the city with your little puppet show but not us! This company has worked over 75 years to cultivate the family friendly image of Mr. Stay Puft. He was modeled after somebody's uncle for crying out loud! And it wasn't all so you could go to war with him in downtown Manhattan! This is defamation of character on the grandest scale! You'll be hearing from us Ghostbusters! Have a sunny, funny Comm Core Corp day."
