Ecto Cooler is Making a Return in Celebration of the Ghostbusters Movie
Hi-C Ecto Cooler was first introduced in 1987 and is still remembered as one of the most iconic childhood drinks. The Ghostbusters-themed citrus fruit drink has since been discontinued and it has left fans hoping for its return for years.
Hi-C has re-introduced Ecto Cooler many times – and so when any new Ghostbusters project gets released, fans have a reasonable expectation that Ecto Cooler may also return… and for Afterlife, that’s no exception.
Although the nostalgic drink will be making a return, don’t count on finding it at your local grocery store. Instead, Coca-Cola says this new “commemorative” release of Ecto Cooler — which will be in 12-ounce bottles for the first time — is available via “some surprises for those who follow and engage with our social channel @DrinkHiC.”
Indeed, over the weekend, Hi-C tweeted, “Guess who escaped from the vault for an exclusive commemorative drop just in time for Ghostbusters: Afterlife, in theaters Nov. 19th? While this won’t be available for purchase, show us the [green heart emoji] @DrinkHiC & @Ghostbusters & you may get slimed!” So basically, tag and you may receive.
