Hi c ecto cooler new2/20/2024 However, Hi-C Ecto Cooler found its own success, surviving long after the cartoon series was ended in 1991. The cartoon series rode the coat tails of the original Ghostbusters movie staring Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Sigourney Weaver, Harold Ramis and Rick Moranis. The juice box was introduced in 1987, a year after The Real Ghostbusters hit the Saturday morning line-up. Hi-C Ecto Cooler was last stocked 15 years ago, nearly half our lifetime since our childhood beverage (oh, what about Kool-Aid and Squeeze-Its?) was more than just a fond memory. If it has seemed like forever since it has been out, it is because it has. ![]() When the answer was no, some of us would tell ourselves that we would buy as much as we wanted when we were grown up. We remember asking Mom or Dad if we could get a pack of Hi-C Ecto Cooler, explaining how essential it was to be included with our school lunches. Some of us remember when Hi-C Ecto Cooler was always on the grocery shelves and the commercials with Slimer convincing small children across the world to drink it. It is no coincidence either that the citrus flavored juice drink is available to sneak into movie theaters for Ghostbusters. That’s right, Slimer’s favorite refreshment is, yet again, within reach. Thankfully this nostalgia didn’t spoil, must have been preserved in all the slime.Haunting the shelves again like a rerun of your favorite television show from your youth is Hi-C Ecto Cooler. Coca-Cola did what is so very popular nowadays and bottled nostalgia. A man named Joe just walked by as I wrote this review and said “Say ‘Hi’ for me.” so I did.Īnywho, Hi-C Ecto Cooler is a tasty beverage that I’d happily drink more of. All the Vitamin C in the world isn’t going to help when 12oz has 41 grams of sugar in it. Much like your it goes down easily and the burn isn’t nearly as intense as the one you just suffered.Įcto Cooler isn’t an overly sweet beverage either, but there’s enough sugar in it to remind you that what you’re consuming probably isn’t all that healthy for you. It’s a bit smoother than Lavaburst and has a more tangeriney taste on the back end. Stand by.Įven though I didn’t drink this as a child it reminds me of the 80’s. Now, Lavaburst is my go to when I’m frequenting a McDonalds so I’m quite familiar with the flavor and will recognize it if I taste it here in a second. Quite similar to another Hi-C flavor, Orange Lavaburst. This smells like oranges and tangerines of the candied variety. ![]() Yet when you pour out the beverage you can see that it has a nice green coloration to it… ya know… cause of the slime. Heck, the ingredients include both tangerine and orange juice from concentrate. To be a bit more specific it’s a tangerine flavored beverage. ![]() The bright green “slime” label would have you believe Ecto Cooler is some insane flavor combination, but the non-slimed portion of the can tells you it’s a “Citrus Drink”. Thinking about it even more I wasn’t really into Hi-C growing up either, that came at a much later age for me.Įither way, today I’m going to review Hi-C Ecto Cooler and join the ranks of the millions of review sites doing the exact same thing. Oddly enough I was never big into Ecto Cooler when it first came out, I just thought it was cool that Slimer was on the box art. I guess what I’m trying to say here is that Hi-C Ecto Cooler is of cultural importance to my generation and I’m going to review it here and now.
