#43: Hi-C Ecto Cooler
Hi-C Ecto Cooler is a beloved drink that has become a cult classic since its introduction in the late 1980s. The drink was created as a tie-in for the popular cartoon series, The Real Ghostbusters, and was named after the ghost character Slimer. The original recipe featured a blend of tangerine, orange, and lemon juices, with a hint of lime flavoring.
The drink became an instant hit with kids and adults alike, and its popularity only continued to grow after The Real Ghostbusters ended. The drink was eventually discontinued in 2001, but its fans never forgot about it. In 2016, Hi-C brought back Ecto Cooler as a limited-time release to coincide with the release of the Ghostbusters reboot. The drink’s resurgence was met with excitement from fans, who eagerly stocked up on the iconic green juice.
