On September 15, 2015, Coca-Cola filed to renew the Ecto Cooler trademark. In 2007, Crazy Citrus Cooler was discontinued.
In 2006, Shoutin' Orange Tangergreen was renamed Crazy Citrus Cooler. While it didn't taste any different, it did change to a yellowish green. During the Shoutin' Orange Tangergreen era the formula was changed along with the rest of the line of HI-C drinks to a "Won't Stain" formula. The product was still noted as ecto cool on many store receipts. Slimer was replaced on the packaging by a similar-looking blob of lips. Slimer left the box sometime around 1997, but Minute Maid did not discontinue the product until 2001, at which point it was renamed Shoutin' Orange Tangergreen. The drink did surprisingly well in some markets and continued way beyond The Real Ghostbusters run. It is notable that Ecto Cooler was made in light of Ghostbusters II, which was in theaters when released. It was a repurpose of a Hi-C's “Citrus Cooler”, which had been around since the 60's. Use sparingly, just enough to bring it to life although without it it's still good.In 1989, HI-C released a new flavor fruit drink featuring a image of Slimer from The Real Ghostbusters called "Ecto Cooler". I wanted to make the mix more realistic to step away from the soda taste and I feel that this does it well, the addition of sour heightens the orange and brings it back to the front almost a candy effect without making it sickly. I added a touch even as 1-2 drops per 10ml it makes it noticeable and changes the mix to a slightly chilled taste. I love this flavouring I can say it does change the recipe from dry and flavoursome to juicy and tastier you can't pick it out it helps blend the fruit and makes the mix mouth watering. I was hoping this would give it a fizzy type mouth feel, it doesn't at this % but it does help change the orange flavour a touch to make it more genuine almost like Fanta or tango.
(Ecto cooler) I used to have this as a stand alone, it's a great tasting flavour but uses a hell of a lot, it's supposed to be reminiscent of an old school juice box from the mid - late 80's although I can barely remember that. I hope you will give it a go and leave any and all feedback.Īmetrine is a fresh orange juice type flavour with a couple of ice cubes. I've spent nearly 2 months working on it trying different fruits for accents and different levels of sweetener to get it down as low as possible without losing that sweetness we all associate with commercial juice. In closing I feel I've remixed this quite nicely. I believe I used far less than they prob do but got the same effect by accentuating the Orange with the strawberries and ecto cooler. Super sweet: I'm remixing a commercial juice that's known to have loads of sweetener. I love these in tandem and they are just the supporting note I needed to give it a fruity inhale. I wanted something to add to the fruitiness without taking over the Orange and add a bit of juicy flavor to the mix and these strawberries do just that. Shisha Strawberry and red touch: here's where the remix part comes in.
It adds to the sweetness and helps add punch to the juicy orange. I wanted a juicy sweet Orange with a hint of authenticity and caps juicy Orange is just that.Įcto cooler type: this hi c inspired flavor works so well with Orange that it was a natural selection in my thought process. So I wondered, could I could improve on something I enjoy so much? I really enjoy it but I leave the verdict up to you!Ĭaps juicy Orange: I started with the Orange of course. I love elements fresh squeeze, especially during these summer months.
