Busting makes you feel good. It’s not going to lower your cholesterol, though.

Krispy Kreme’s Ghostbusters donuts are available now — but only for a limited time. And be aware: They can sell out. I tried to go buy them last night, pre-ordered them on their website, and by the time I got to the front of the line to pick up my order, one of the four desserts had sold out. (They had no Slime-ade.) Sadly, there’s no afterlife for Ghostbusters donuts either.
