It is a very casual drink that I could just enjoy with a snack or with gaming. I think finding out that this is more on the juice side rather than the water side enhances my enjoyment. It is actually more like the kind of orange juice you’d just buy in the store. For an example, it is less like that Tampico drink I did a long time ago. It is less of a water with juice as it is a juice with water drink. This drink is actually has the orange juice texture that leaves that sort of film in the glass when you drink it. It was more of a nice accent than a main event. The tangerine flavour doesn’t really sick around to me, which is okay I guess. Only in the after taste does it taste like orange juice. The first fruit taste I get is absolutely tangerine though. This actually captures orange juice fairly well. The thing is, orange juice is a lot like thick water. It is almost like what I’d expect one of those Nectar drinks to taste like actually! Then I can finally taste the tangerine zing from it, but the after taste is the mellow tartness of orange juice. then it just transitions into a full-on sweetness. There really isn’t much to it other than juice, high fructose corn syrup, and dye.Īt first sip, it is just kind of sweet with maybe a hint of tartness from the citric acid. I guess this is just gonna taste like a sweet orange juice from what the ingredients say. I mean, the can IS green, right? It is supposed to be ectoplasm. Pure filtered water, high fructose corn syrup, orange and tangerine juices from concentrate, natural flavors, citric acid, ascorbic acid, potassium citrate, yellow 5, blue 1. I’m gonna go back in time and point this out to my ma and say “SEE! THIS IS GOOD FOR ME!” I guess I should dive into what is in this drink then!ġ0% juice. Obviously, this is to celebrate Ghostbusters from the top of the can. There’s a small slice at the very bottom too. Well, the orange at the bottom was supposed to resemble an orange from the looks of it. From other pictures online, I think it is just me. I’m thinking that’s just how these were painted. I bought about 4 cans and they all look like this. Overall, this can looks kind of distressed, doesn’t it? It looks like it sat in the sun for a while and it lost its colour. This is just green with an ooze effect to it. They were usually yellow and had the fruit of whatever flavour it was busting out on a wave of coloured juice. It also doesn’t really look like the Hi-C I remember. I don’t ever remember seeing it in a can like this one. Now, Hi-C was in a little paper juice pouch. If you were even cooler, you had Capri Sun, but I’ll save that for another day. I was stuck with apple juice or whatever while all the cool kids had their Hi-C drinks. My ma wouldn’t buy it because it wasn’t healthy. The thing is, Hi-C is pretty much just sugar and water. Not bad, eh?Īnyway, Hi-C was the cool kid drink when I was a young’in. I didn’t actually know it was re-released when the movie came out, but I did happen to find this at my local bargain store. Well, I suppose they decided to re-release Ecto Cooler because of that new Ghostbusters movie that came out a while back. It had that Slimer ghost from Ghostbusters on it. What I do know is that Ecto Cooler was, well, cool. I think the same flavour stayed around since this is basically an orange drink by Hi-C, but it went by other names like “Orange Lavaburst.” I remember that one more fondly. This is a blast from the past, eh? Ecto Cooler was all the rage for kids, but then it went away.
