I hope you got your caffeinated Stay-Puft Marshmallows, the ones produced by Omni Consumer Products, as it looks like they aren’t being produced any more, and a new line of marshmallow treats have been released this month.
The Parallax Corporation sent a brief email with a link to the website for the collectors box of mini-marshmallows they are producing in conjunction with Sony. In short, each box is about 142g of mini-marshmallows, about 45 mini-pufts, and features a double sided-collectors box (meaning, like the last set, you’ll want to keep them) with happy Stay-Puft on one side and angry Stay-Puft on the other (both set pieces of art from the Sony style guide.)
You can buy a box through ThinkGeek (as before) for the price of $7.99 plus shipping (which seems a lot, but it was 20 bucks plus shipping for 177g of the last kind, so they’re a much better deal, particularly if the box is half-way decent) – speaking of which, ThinkGeek no longer has a listing for the OCP caffeinated marshmallows, which is why we suspect they are no longer producing them (that and the fact that another company seems to have the license now), so if you missed out, you’ll have to look to independent sellers through Amazon or Ebay. Lucky for us, Stay-Puft Marshmallows in general aren’t gone, as we have these new ones to buy (and unlike the previous, square ones, these marshmallows are in the traditional mallowy shape.)
One last thing – unlike the last marshmallows, ThinkGeek has a notice that the new Stay-Pufts can’t be shipped outside the US! Booo! So, if you’re in Canada, Mexico, the UK or Europe and beyond, you’d better find an American friend.

Having gone caffeine-free some fifteen years ago, I never tried the caffeinated ones, so this is good news for me. Although, I recently had a bad experience with marshmallows while doing an evening of improv comedy, so it’s a little too soon right now.
What’s this about a sony style guide?
Licensed products often come with a style guide, to help standardize products across multiple manufacturers. That, for example, is why we see the ecto slime packaging, with the hazard stripe. Sony has one for Ghostbusters, which is why we see the same Slimer and Stay Puft, or those silhouettes of the guys (no-likness rights to worry about) on various products.
Oh, Ok. When you said “sony style guide” I thought you meant SONY STYLE guide not sony STYLE GUIDE…
ThinkGeek no longer has a listing for the OCP caffeinated marshmallows, which is why we suspect they are no longer producing them (that and the fact that another company seems to have the license now).
Actually the listing ThinkGeek is using for the new marshmallows is the same exact one they were using for the old marshmallows. Look at the Customer Action Shots tab and you’ll see user-submitted photos of the old marshmallows.
Yes, I realize they’re using the same page, swapping in the new item for the old item – it doesn’t change the fact they’re not selling the old item (which, as it turns out, is no longer being produced.)
are these marshmallows caffinated and i bought the old style about a week ago from amazon.com and got them today and you can get the new ones in the uk if you order off amazon.co.uk as they come from firebox.com
