We May Get To Drink Hi-C Ecto Cooler Once Again
Fans of the late Ecto Cooler Hi-C will remember it left store shelves around the same time the ’90s cartoon The Real Ghostbusters stopped airing. The children’s beverage featured the iconic Slimer, a ghost made entirely of ectoplasm, who made his debut in the original Ghostbusters film.
Now, with the upcoming Ghostbusters reboot/sequel, Coca-Cola (Hi-C’s parent company) has quietly trademarked the rights to the Hi-C Ecto Cooler drink.
Made with about 10 percent of juice, the orange-flavored beverage was found in cardboard packages with plastic draws. Pretty much the perfect symbol ’90s refreshment.
Since the discovery of its return, Ecto Cooler fans are stoked to see the return of their beloved drink.
I was distraught over all the bloodshed and racial divides, but then I learned Hi-C is bringing back the Ecto-Cooler so everything is okay.

Hopefully we’ll be able to get our hands on some in the not-too-distant future.
