This comment is so funny I had to check: The ingredients seem kosher BUT they never got Kosher certification so it’s technically true.
And when I looked into similar packaged drinks, I found that almost none are kosher. Some of the same drinks ARE kosher when dispensed from a machine, though, so maybe it’s a preservatives thing?
Some very solid evidence that Slimer was not Jewish would be his glizzy gobbling. He didn’t ask the vendor if it was kosher, he just ate em.
True, though I couldn’t tell how the combination of ingredients would prevent the label either.
And along with the combination restrictions, there are preparation restrictions, too. Gotta get Hebrew National when you invite Jewish friends at the summer BBQ as not all-beef hotdogs are kosher!
…damn now I’m nostalgic and want some latkes and [those folded up artichoke things I forgot the name of]
We’re discussing the ethnicity of a silly ghost character based on context clues the writers didn’t deliberately put in a film from 40 years ago, don’t take it too seriously
Yeah, what’s serious about antisemitism? Who could get hurt? Not like they were gassing and cooking human beings withing the last 100 years or anything…
No one in this comment chain was making light of antisemitism, though.
I feel like I’m about to ruin the joke but…what makes their comment so funny is that they’re (jokingly) missing the point and going off about something irrelevant with a fully-formed argument.
I fact checked in the first place to send to the same Jewish friend who once told me he hated Hitler…for taking that mustache style off the table for everyone. Not a guy you can accuse of not taking antisemitism seriously.
Bro. You’re using your Jewish friend to explain to me how this isn’t antisemitism? Do you even read what you write before you hit send?
Well, I appreciate you informing my ignorant self as to what antisemitism is and isn’t. I should not have presumed to know about such things, and appreciate you setting me straight on it. I, and others related to me, should really learn to be less sensitive to such things. It is just humor, after all.
Bro. My family is from Skokie, IL. Like half of the people in my life are Jewish. I used a real example of someone “missing the point” for humor and their ethnicity is VERY relevant to my point that it’s not antisemitic to make jokes on the topic.
I have no idea how you get through life if your jimmies get rustled by two comments that weren’t in any way antisemitic. There are so many horrors in the world (including actual antisemitism) to get pissed about and THIS is the hill you’re gonna die on?
Arguing that Slimer wasn’t Jewish because he consumed ecto cooler, hot dogs, and books is funny as fuck.
Thank you for again further explaining to me how incorrect I am to assume antisemitism. I should have deferred cognition to someone who clearly knows a lot of Jews, and realized you would certainly know more about it than I. I’m glad you are confident what you have read and stated is “funny as fuck.” No point wasting time someone like me, who just gets his jimmies rustled over something so trivial.
From now on I know to trust G***m, not question those who are clearly better informed and more positioned to make determinations on what is or isn’t offensive to me or my “easy to get their jimmies rustled” people.
We definitely agree that nothing productive is going to come from any continued interaction between us here. I’m not backing down from my opinion that no one is making light of antisemitism and you’re too busy playing the victim to give me a real reason why I should.
Maybe we’ll get along in another thread. See ya there.
I don’t care. Say what you want because, 494 votes on the topic? 152 comments, many based around me anyway? Yeah, no one is listening to this instance anyway. And therefore, there is no one to care.

You can mix kosher ingredients and get something that isn’t kosher, like a cheeseburger.

Who’s following kashrut in 2026 (at these prices)? lol, what food a person eats is not a significant sign of their ethnicity.

Yeah. I should be less sensitive.

Definitely not kosher.
Yeah probably, if you can’t even handle jokes about Slimer being jewish specifically because the writers didn’t intend it and thus “that’s the joke.”
Maybe stick to Feivel I guess.

Ok.
