![]() ![]() Back in the classic juice boxes (complete with the old-fashioned Hi-C logo) and the new color changing can, it's everything I remembered. Coca Cola and Minute Maid did not disappoint. When a new Ghostbusters movie was finally a definite thing (a delightful flick, by the way), I knew it was now or never for Ecto Cooler to return. Peter Venkman would ask, "You're not sleeping with it, are you, Ray?" I'm not sure I can comfortably answer that question. There are those of us who never put away the Proton Packs and PKE Meters, and for us, this re-release of Ecto Cooler might classify as a legitimate significant life event. Ghostbusters became a beloved classic, still appreciated by folks of all ages, but the world moved on. If you were a kid in those days, your experience with the movie might have been a bit richer with the Real Ghostbusters cartoon, the absolutely killer toy line from Kenner, and yes, Ecto Cooler. Look, if you were alive at any point during the 1980's, chances are you either like or love Ghostbusters. You'll hear countless 30-somethings exclaim that "Ecto Cooler was the flavor of my childhood," but I doubt the majority of them know the full weight of their own words. JL: So you know how they say, "You don't know what you've got until it's gone?" Truer words could not be spoken when it comes to Hi-C Ecto Cooler.

People were so excited about the possibility it might come back with the release of Afterlife, fake mock-ups of tie-in advertisements circulated the internet. This is frustrating because Ecto Cooler is a tasty drink that people genuinely seem to enjoy still the 2016 release sold extremely well and became difficult to track down for some fans. The drink was canceled altogether in 2006, allowing the company to withhold and reintroduce the product purely to serve the larger marketing whims of the Ghostbusters franchise. When Ghostbusters waned in popularity, Coke rebranded the Ecto Cooler as something called “Shoutin’ Orange Tangergreen,” but weirdly, they denied that it was the same drink for some reason, despite the fact that it clearly tasted the same, the box had a similar color scheme, and some grocery stores even continued to list it as “Ecto Cooler” on receipts.
