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.

Thank you!
Brett: "I love taking risks" ***Slow-motion montage of all of Brett's pokemon dying***
"Ted, that's enough!" Ted's got a new favorite snack!
The coolest part of Ecto-Cooler is that if you drink it now, you turn into an actual ghost! RIP TOVG cast and crew. You will be dearly missed.
I can only imagine if Ted didn't have Brett following, yelling "Ted that's enough!" he would've died years ago

I feel like Ted only knows about ecto-cooler because Brett and Alex I swear to God talk about it in every series they do together
The amount of effort put into this was great. I love when you guys do some of these outside the box series, they’re a lot of fun!
That last shot of the glass really solidified to me how fucking disgusting that stuff looks oh my LORD
It's hilarious to me that anytime you film something food related, the production quality gets a huge boost
Oh, this is gonna be a magically cursed series.
I love the documentary style to this. Definitely giving me travel channel vibes. Love it
Oh man, EctoCooler was THE flavor that my family and I drank. I’m so excited for this show, this is going to be so much fun.
2:40 "What does ghost word mean to you" "ghost" "YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
As horrifying as that looked, I would have absolutely tried some. Can’t wait to see the next episode of this series! Much love from Texas!
This is very interesting and I'm a fan of getting the office involved in the videos! Can't wait to see the rest of the series!
They had Ted looking like a kid in math class who was goofing off and got caught out by the teacher to answer the question he wasn't listening to XD
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.
This is fabulous content. I hope they all survived so we can get more episodes of this series!
"Generation after generation love this drink!" and then interviewing the office and half of them don't know what they are talking about is *peak* Alex. Childhoods with rad content existed after 1996. Loving the history lesson stuff though.
I am really enjoying seeing the bros and team work on a show like this.
I love how ted hates onions, But EVERYTHING ELSE is open game.
"What did it smell like?" ZERO hesitation "death."
After seeing Alex in the Beard Bros trucker hat I am more convinced than ever that he is just Matty Matheson with the tattoos green screened off.
Great idea for a series. Can't wait to see what you guys hunt for next.
i’m genuinely SO invested in this series already. i’m really loving the format of it as well, it feels like (in the best way possible) a mini-series i would’ve watched on Discovery when i was a kid. i kinda really want a hundred of these videos 🥲
The inclusion of the OG Ghostbusters music really takes this video to the next level! Kudos, Ted! 👏
I love the mockumentary style at play here. This is a great series. Beard bros is really spitting out some bangers these past few weeks.
Guys this shows structure was a lot of fun. I would love to see nostalgia hunters become a long running series.
I love the bros give background on the nostalgia item. Also seeing all the people behind the scenes at TOVG makes me so happy.
As someone who is close in age to the bros with a lot of the same nostalgia, I'm sure this series will be an absolute hoot.
this documentary style is fantastic, hope everything was filmed like this
This is so good! Loved seeing Frazier, Megan, and Barryte join the hunt and looking forward to what nostalgia we've got in store for us down the road
Great video i have absolutely no nostalgia for ecto cooler but i was thoroughly entertained
DUDE, THAT PRODUCTION VALUE!! This is why the bros are the best.
I remember this drink, and it was NOT that dark green. There was a rumor I remember that it was discontinued because kids drank anti-freeze thinking it was ecto cooler.
That outro music gave me SERIOUS flashbacks of the 8 bit NES Ghostbusters game!!! It was so hard and nearly impossible to play but I LOVED it!!! Eventually the cartridge broke and I could never get it to start up...
Glad you guys are back on this snack train with a new season cause damn 90's snack foods was something.
You just reminded me of the pool towel we had with a big picture of Slimer covering it. I don't think I had even seen Ghost Busters, but that towel plus Ecto Cooler made me like him.
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.
Giving this another watch just because, but man, the production put into this is fantastic
I'm actually surprised Ecto Cooler didn't make a comeback when Afterlife came out

I think they mentioned briefly that it came out as a promotional item sent to some influencers only, and was therefore prohibitively expensive to even consider
I actually love this idea. The vibes are great.
Excellent episode, loved this can't wait for the next one!!!!
this somewhat defunctland style video is so rad, I didn't vote for this category but I'm incredibly excited for all of them going forward

It just feels right to me for that older ad style
K this was gold, I'm pumped for the rest of the series. "As long as it wasn't botulism " 😂😂😂
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.

Aged chunks vs very aged chunks, mostly
"Gronk-flavored" monster is crazy
I always love it when I can learn something watching the bros
I saw the pitch for this at the start and was thinking.... ehhh that doesn't sound that great but I love the bros so I'll give it a shot and see how it plays out and this turned out great. We didn't really get brand deal stuff like this down under when I was a kid so I'd never heard of this before and it was fun how much you guys dove into this bringing in specialists and guests.
This was really fun, can't wait for more!
Loved this guys! Well done
Amazing series! I love the editing and background information!
I wish I’d known you guys were looking for this. I have two cans of the 2016 ecto cooler that have been in my fridge since 2016 that I would have donated

This guy over here
The cartoon scarred me with the episode of the guy with the briefcase
That was surprisingly awesome. Like a mini-documentary. Would definitely be down to see more like this in future iterations.
Absolutely love this. Big Burger Rush vibes on the production, stoked for the rest of the series!
This is gonna be an amazing series.
Cool series as usual
Oh gods, that reminds me of The Cinema Snob opening this can of really old beer that had rust flakes in it. Definitely a show with super high fun potential. Prepare yourself for food poisoning.
Love Super Voiceover Bros… giving me Burger Rush vibes
Paused the episode just to comment that it's so, so cool you got Roger Barr on the show. This is a crazy mashing up of my worlds, two super influential creatives in my life. It's also great to see Roger in general, knowing how tough things have been for him lately. What a great way to start Two Months Of Halloween.
Looks like another awesome series, guys just keep it up!
This'll be a fantastic series
Yyyyyesssss more food content! I loved the burger series, and I know I'm gonna love this!
Dunno why I'm surprised at how great this is
I’m down for more of this for sure
Solid shit here boys another unique and interesting round. I hope it continues
Love this content, keep it up!!
I love the direction of this show so far
Great video, keep killing it
i loved this please make more!
This was fantastic
The oldest food related thing I own is an EMPTY glass bottle of Coca-Cola that expired in Dezember 1994. But this just reminds me of that fact that my grandparents still had full juice boxes and chocolates and chocolate-bars from 2000 up to 2016 (in 2020) when we cleared out their flat. (Just crazy.)
I love this. I think this needs to be a permanent show.

I would be a worn out boi
Wait. Why is it that Alex is wearing the orange-covered Hawaiian shirt at one point, then that Jason guy has an identical shirt? Is this some kind of "Lando in Han's clothes at the end of 'Empire' " deal?
Great show!
16:13 has some big Joker in the meat freezer with fake batman energy
Nice job, guys!
For anyone curious about how Ecto-Cooler tasted, if you can get Hawaiian Sun it's either their Pass-o-Guava flavor or their Passion Orange flavor (can't remember which) that tastes pretty much identical.
This is so terrifying lmao
This was awesome
Good stuff y’all!
This is a spooky episode.
Next time, please introduce us to the people in the office! I’ve never met most of them before!
I never saw it in Canadian stores, even when Answer the Call and Afterlife were out.
John Riggs! some of my fave gamers in this video! i had no idea yall knew eachother. I look forward to seeing yall at PRGE this year
I remember having an Ecto-Cooler around the time that Hunch Back of Notre Dame came out. I got it from McDonalds if I remember correctly.

^This was around the last time I saw the Ecto-Cooler
This is great! :)
I still occasionally think about the Pizza Hut & Taco Bell flavored Doritos that came out in the mid-to-late 90's that I absolutely loved.
10/10 premiere.
This is AMAZING. Big Trillion
A truly disgusting experience, thank you bros 💚👻
...man, the only other thing I can think of that was discontinued is Crystal Pepsi...
"Do you want a glass? Or do you want to go blind?" I was expecting him to ask if it was going to bake him go blind...
Is this series still ongoing? Really enjoyed this one!
You might want to talk to The LA Beast as he has done a number of videos where he has eaten retro food.
I'm pretty sure Ecto Cooler was brought back for a while before the Feig film was announced. I go past Hi-C when getting my own Capri Sun and I always saw Ecto Cooler as I passed it.
