The first Ghostbuster movie came out in 1984 and was a huge hit, like, “highest box office ever for a comedy” at the time level of hit.
THE POINT is that I assume most people around my age know of Ecto-Cooler, and where it comes from: Which is the Ghostbusters 4 cool dudes (or, most recently, gals) who bust ghosts. I’ve just discovered that Vanilla Pudding Pops would make a good “Unicorn Horn” dessert if I ever have a need for that, however. To those OLDER readers who have no connection to the idea, the example I would use is…probably Jell-O Pudding Pops? I don’t know early 80’s/late 70’s food.
In a way I…THINK something like “Drake and Josh” or “ Catscratch” might lock in your brains. Turns out I’m a bit of a repetitive drunk.Īnywho, to the unaware, whom I just implied were young’uns, to those of us born from around 1982 to 1992, the phrase “ecto-cooler” is a stabbing knife of memory to a younger, happier time. I’d say “you decide”, but I literally just did that bit. Those of you with the background, skip to the next section to skip over the explanation for the young’uns. And thus, you either know what we’re doing, or you’re worried I’ve started speaking in tongues. Look, I’m not going to play coy, you read the title card. And while you COULD explore all of those interesting descriptors, you can also just click this link, get the recipe, and get brewing for yourself. Today’s cocktail is a surprisingly simple, somewhat nostalgic, seasonally appropriate, and legally non-actionable riff on a drink from Jon’s childhood. A process he USED to do without a special name, but branding is the Master Sword of internet marketing, so here we are. That means you may not be able to get your hands on Ecto Cooler for a while, unless you're willing to spend thousands of dollars for an old carton on eBay.Why hello there, and welcome back to Kitchen Catastrophe’s series, Catastrophic Cocktails, where, in order to buy himself time and write off his copious alcohol purchases as business expenses, Jon O’Guin explores the world of drinks.
#ECTO COOLER RECIPE SERIES#
Unless Ghostbusters: Afterlife spawns a franchise of its own, this may be the last time the series haunts theaters for at least a generation. It returned to stores briefly in tandem with the release of the Ghostbusters reboot in 2016. This isn't the first time Hi-C has brought the beloved product back from the dead. For a chance to get slimed, you can try tagging and in a Tweet explaining why you need some Ecto Cooler in your life. Hi-C has produced a limited batch of bottles, and it's distributing them to Twitter users who engage with the company on the site. But you won't be able to pick up this ghostly drink from your local store. The beverage is back just in time for Ghostbusters: Afterlife, and it's available in a 12-ounce bottle for the first time. Consumers loved the drink so much that it stayed on shelves for 14 years, outliving the series it was meant to promote by nearly a decade. The green, citrus-flavored drink-branded with a cartoon Slimer on the label-quickly outgrew its novelty status. Hi-C Ecto Cooler first debuted to promote the animated series The Real Ghostbusters in 1987. As Food & Wine reports, Ecto Cooler is back (again) after initially being discontinued in 2001. In honor of the new movie, Hi-C is reviving one its most successful tie-in products of all time. Ghostbusters: Afterlife hits theaters on November 19, 2021. Ghostbusters fans have a lot to feel nostalgic about this month.
