On May 30, 2016, it was reported ads for Ecto Cooler were seen in a movie theater. It will be sold exclusively in the United States of America. Fans were instructed follow on Twitter and Ecto Cooler on Facebook. Fans can enter for a chance to win it before it is available for purchase. There will be a contest held up until May 30. The cans are specially printed using thermal ink that turns an eerie shade of slime green when the product inside is cold. It will be sold in packs of 6-ounce juice boxes or 11.5-ounce aluminum cans. On April 25, 2016, it was announced Ecto Cooler would be available for a limited time beginning on May 30. The new can did not feature the iconic Slimer, but notes the 2016 film and has a green slime motif. Then appearing on eBay on Februwas a prototype can. 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. Instead he gave us a movie which ultimately is 90% a retread of the 1984 film.In 1989, HI-C released a new flavor fruit drink featuring a image of Slimer from The Real Ghostbusters called 'Ecto Cooler'. He could’ve done some amazing, original stuff. He set it in Manhattan, gave them an old white & red Cadillac, and housed them in Hook & Ladder 8. He put them in matching boiler suits, with the old logo on their sleeves. It’s a new universe, and Paul Feig could have done some truly original stuff (like he promised), so what did he do? He cast three white actors & one black actor. The new team could roll around in an old icecream truck, an RV, a garbage truck, or literally any other vehicle. And lastly, don’t have them riding around in a vintage white & red Cadillac. They could make their HQ a funeral home, an old church, or they could just not have an HQ. A different logo wouldn’t confuse audiences just think of how often they change the Batman and Spider-man logos. Give them a different logo it can still have the white ghost & red slash, but it should be something new. Set it in LA, Chicago, or New Orleans (NOLA would actually be a dope place to set a Ghostbusters movie, given its history).

It’s a new cast, in a new universe, so don’t set it in New York. You know, when it was announced that Paul Feig was making a new Ghostbusters movie, and that it was completely removed from the original films, I thought “Okay, I can see this working as long as they change some stuff.”
