The identical formula, in all its neon green glory, was about to be repackaged yet again as Shoutin’ Orange Tangergreen (though Hi-C would deny that it was the same beverage). Is It As Good As You Remember By Lee Breslouer Published on at 3:11 PM Cole Saladino/Thrillist In celebration of the new Ghostbusters movie coming out. Or, at least that’s what they wanted us to think. There are a lot of independent sellers hawking the 2016 version on eBay right now, for about 30 apiece you used to be able to purchase them on Amazon as. The problem was that this new generation of juice box drinkers would have no idea what a Ghostbuster was.įearing that Slimer had overstayed his welcome-and in another swift and lazy move-Hi-C did away with Ecto Cooler altogether. And because we are all suckers for packaging, the farce continued into the next decade. The pitch was simple: place Slimer, the cute green ghost from Ghostbusters, on the box change "Citrus" to "Ecto" conveniently forget that Citrus Cooler ever existed product tie-in achieved. A sealed one is currently being offered for 350. Believe it or not, 1989 Ecto Cooler juice boxes still sell on eBay. Nonetheless, Citrus Cooler did exist-at least it did until some marketing dolts needed a quick and easy gimmick to sell their cartoon. The drink was later reimagined as Shoutin’ Orange Tangergreen.
Apologies for lack of photo evidence, but it appears to have been systematically destroyed to thwart the conspiracy theorists. If we look back a bit further, there was once a Hi-C product called Citrus Cooler. However, the original marketing strategy was rather sneaky, and mind-numbingly lazy. And apparently HI-C is not selling it in stores like the last time.

Although it was only supposed to last as long as the series, it endured for a decade after the show’s cancellation.
