I made it with the Tangerine and Orange Kool-Aid and the orange flavors are very overwhelming, so now I just have a giant vat of Tang lol. I next batch I make I will lay off a bit on the orange juice and Kool-Aid. I guess the Flavor-Aid is better?
@madhatteresque I recommend to anyone using Kool-Aid to use the Orange VERY sparingly! I also cut down on the orange juice (1/4 cup) because of the after taste. I made a new batch and its very very close to Ecto-Cooler IMO , its just missing a little bit of something, more lemonade mix perhaps.
Anyone else notice the tribute to house 2 the second story with the repairman! Ghostbusters + Ecto Cooler + House 2 referance = Possibly the greatest video in the history of ever!! Nuff Said!
Had to use Mandarin Oranges since I couldn't find Nobel's Juice even though it was listed as being carried by the supermarket I usually go to. It's VERY close to the ol' Ecto. I hope I'll be able to find Tangerine juice to make it as close as it can be.
I saw the vid you guys did with (I think it was) Brad Jones.... the cinema snob. I can't wait to try to make some, and dare my friends to try it. Especially after I tell them that I got it from the Ghostbusters Chicago Division, with a crazy look in my eye.
Thank you for bringing this back! Also, I'm surprised no-one said "He/they slimed me" after trying it.
@FearAbsence Umm cause the USA is the most powerful country in the world, we pull in more than twice the GDP that the number two China does.....and because of that we can do whatever the hell we want and get away with it. e.g. Drive on the right, use non-logical measuring systems, yell git-r-done while holding 2 PhD's and whatever else we can think of.
I love how everyone is talking about Diabetes from this..... McDonald's sweet tea uses a 5lb bag of sugar for 5 gallons of tea. This has 1/2 cup less sugar per gallon. You would have to drink a gallon of this, or more, every day to get Diabetes from it.
Nice job on the kick-ass flashback to my childhood guys!
@ConJa21 I never understood that myself-- even when I WAS 8 years old, and all my friends were drinking Ecto-Cooler. Always looked and tasted gross to me. Still, I think it's important to note that the GB:CD aren't saying "You should try this awesome healthy new drink we invented!" They're saying "Hey, remember this?" It's nostalgia, not cookery.
I don't know what it tastes like, but I do know that the color is off. Ecto-Cooler looks like anti-freeze. In fact, the urban legend was that they had to discontinue the stuff because a little kid died after drinking anti-freeze, thinking it was Ecto-Cooler. Anyway, good work, I can't wait to try this!
@CheapSushi Ecto Cooler makes (mental) time travel possible. On the down side, it only really takes you back to the early 90's. On the plus side? Real Ghostbusters hadn't gone downhill yet and we were just about to come out of a recession!
@CheapSushi Ecto Cooler was a Hi-C brand juice created in 1987 for the ghostbusters cartoons. it was green in color to resemble "slimer" the green ghost.
If Skull says it's Ecto Cooler, then it must be Ecto Cooler!! Gotta wait till Friday for my Flavor Aid to come in the mail, then I'm going to try not to drink my first gallon in one shot.
Who are you going to call? Love the way that line is written, really I do, great video, I am definitively going to try to make this drink, even if I was a little young to drink it when it first came out.
A limited production re-release of this would be huge.
