Subscribe: bit.ly/SubscribeSuperBeardBros
In 1989, HI-C released a new flavor fruit drink featuring a image of Slimer from The Real Ghostbusters called "Ecto Cooler". It was a repurpose of a Hi-C's “Citrus Cooler”, which had been around since the 60's. It is notable that Ecto Cooler was made in light of Ghostbusters II, which was in theaters when released. The drink did surprisingly well in some markets and continued way beyond The Real Ghostbusters run. Slimer left the box sometime around 1997, but Minute Maid did not discontinue the product until 2001, at which point it was renamed Shoutin' Orange Tangergreen. Slimer was replaced on the packaging by a similar-looking blob of lips. The product was still noted as ecto cool on many store receipts. During the Shoutin' Orange Tangergreen era the formula was changed along with the rest of the line of HI-C drinks to a "Won't Stain" formula. While it didn't taste any different, it did change to a yellowish green. In 2006, Shoutin' Orange Tangergreen was renamed Crazy Citrus Cooler. In 2007, Crazy Citrus Cooler was discontinued.

    We definitely need a Ecto-hobo wine. And, yes, the chunks are just flavor enhancers.

    I appreciate the added effort and costs that went into this and I'm assuming the entirety of this series. Getting experts on, the research, the voice overs - and just amount of people involved. You guys are crushing it. We are no longer in Lets Play territory, and much like Burger Rush, it hits a completely different tone and is a refreshing experience. Thanks to the whole team, it is not going unnoticed.

    This was awesome! I loved this! Brett's reactions are incredible, and when Alex goes into foodie mode his vernacular is the best. I haven't had Ecto Cooler since roughly 1996 at the latest. Alaska tended to get things late when I lived there, so I either got the last batches, or maybe some of the later batches when it was pretty popular (so maybe closer to 93). Either way, it's been damn near 30 years since I had some. This was a treat, kudos to the whole crew for this. I know Alex loves his off beat food and Brett loves his Ghostbusters, so it wouldn't surprise me if this was a passion project for the both of them.

    It was a memorable part of my childhood for sure. When it came back in 2016, my friend and I looked everywhere for it, but could never find any. We even asked a local store to order some, but it never came in. We had to buy some online just to savor that flavor one more time. They should really just bring it back and keep it in stores at this point. There's no reason not to. Call it whatever they want, just so long as it tastes the same.

    Always heard of Ecto Cooler from older peeps hyping it up, but never realized it was a Hi-C flavor. Always assumed it was some kinda Mello Yello tasting licensed soda or some thing. I suppose this is what you call “generational loss” Also wonder what the difference between the old and newer version is.
