Everyone calls this an 80's drink but I used to drink it as a kid in the early 90's when I was 8 or 9. It's as much of a 90's drink as it is an 80's drink.
My mom tried to bring this home a couple of times, but I refused to drink it. Slimer always grossed me out, and drinking Ecto Cooler felt like I was drinking his spit or something. Is that weird or normal?
i had to watch this video because I'm going as a full size HI-C Ecto Cooler as a halloween costume this year. Already have the refrigerator box and the sump pump hose for the bendy part of the straw.
Oh my god, I fucking LOVED this! My mom used to pack my lunch with this all the time when I was in the 4th grade, back in 1991. I had a Ghostbusters lunchbox too.
The original energy drink before energy drinks came into existence. Fuck Rockstar, Monster, etc. energy drinks....drink one of these and you'll be alert for 3 days straight.
look at that slacker - just dancin around, not a care in the world. Watch it buddy, there's a focused, non-terminal repeating phantasm (or class 5 full roaming vapor) in that box o' Hi-C!
I have this commercial on DVD after converting it from my VHS copy. I got the commercial from constantly playing during the "Chip & Dale" movie pilot.
I remember back in my elementary school days when they used to sell the HI-C ecto cooler drink that was included in the lunchables pack! Back then it was so sweet, and now i miss it. They should be bringing back the ecto cooler when GB3 comes out!!
Basically if you find Hi-C "Shoutin' Orange Tangerine", it's the same exact thing as "Ecto Cooler" but instead of being green it is instead that clear-ish type color that the rest of the Hi-C's are now. Still though, I miss the original Ecto-Cooler. Do a Google search for "the ecto cooler bible" and it's the first one.
@shouambane (it was my bro that posted the comment, we share the account even though I WAS THE ONE WHO MADE IT!!!) he says he drank it as a kid. but only a little bit. like, only for a week. that's when they stopped selling it. and he is a big fan of ghostbusters. so put 2 and 2 together. :P
@shouambane (it was my bro that posted the comment, we share the account even though I WAS THE ONE WHO MADE IT!!!) he says he drank it as a kid. and he is a big fan of ghostbusters. so put 2 and 2 together. :P
When I was a kid the local news ran a story about how kids were getting sick from drinking antifreeze because it looked just like this stuff. I loved Ecto Cooler but I was never stupid or desperate enough to drink antifreeze.
Those of you who wish to try ecto cooler, the closest thing that exists is a Hi-C flavor called "Orange Lavaburst." It tastes almost exactly like ecto cooler.
Well then we need to pull a army of ecto-cooler fans together and rally an outcry for the return of this delicious nectar of the God's even if it is for a limited time!
@PropellerBusted Can you imagine that? I would buy every single last package I could get my hands on. I'd also freeze the mix for my children to drink
i used to drink this everyday in elementary school. Its funny it was still around in the late 90s when the ghostbuster craze was long over. i'm surprised they didn't discontinue it until 2001. i only used to drink it cause of slimer tho, i wasn't really a fan of orange type juice.
If you want it again, there's a thing I heard about a HI-C flavor called "Shoutin' Tangergreen" according to an article I read. It's basically got the same ingredients, though colored differently.
It's frustrating that they discontinued "Ecto Cooler" only because they thought that kids didn't remember the Ghostbusters anymore. Everyone loves Ghostbusters! If Fred Flintstone can still be the mascot for Fruity/Cocoa Pebbles, why not Slimer?
I bet they wouldn't have done it if they knew there would be a new video game based on the movie either.
The story goes much deeper than that. Ecto Cooler was discontinued. But they came out with another flavor named Shoutin Orange Tangergreen that contained virtually all the same ingredients. In 2006, they changed the drink name to Crazy Citrus Cooler, then finally discontinued the entire drink recipe in 2007.
Per Wikipedia Ectocooler was made in 87 as a tie in to the cartoon series... Slimer left the box around 97 but the name was kept until 2001 when it was renamed Shoutin' Orange Tangerine. In 2006 Shoutin' Orange Tangerine was renamed Crazy Citrus Cooler and in 2007 Crazy Citrus Cooler was discontinued. The formula to make it is no longer made!
obviously not to most people who are feeling nostalgic about it. i mean really, why even make a ridiculous comment like this to me? do you typically taste "a** fart?" to know the taste is comparable?
as opposed to elbow fart?... you're obviously the only one who is worldly enough to have experienced "ass fart" in your mouth... so really i just feel badly for you.
because you never had any since ur parents were prolly hardcore biblethumpers. :P That shit was the best ever and always will be. Except maybe Ninja Turtle fruit drinks but the orange one made me sick so meh. Still cool tho bc it had comic book art of issues featuring new action figure characters on the package.
u can still get it but they changed the name to Crazy Citrus Cooler. its color - as well as the color of all hi-c flavors - was also changed so it doesn't stain clothing
