Juicy Juice = Ecto Cooler?!

I did a new taste test.

To see if Juicy Juice Orange Tangerine really tastes like Ecto Cooler, watch the video!


































It's pretty close! Try it to see for yourself.





I still miss the real Ecto Cooler though.

And Slimer... I miss Slimer...

Pez, Ecto Cooler, and Bill and Ted!

Here's my newest review!

I've loved Pez dispensers and candy for a long, long time.

I think it started with this:

In this one panel of Bill and Ted's Excellent Comic Book, issue 3 "Daze in the Life" by Evan Dorkin there is a mention of Pez.

I already liked Pez candy and dispensers, but when it was mentioned by Bill and Ted, who I was obsessed with (still am), Pez became part of that obsession.

I loved it so much that one year for Christmas at least half of my list was Pez-related!

I loved it so much I designed a Claudius Pez Dispenser T-shirt and put it up on the Ponder Couch Cafe Press store!

Soon after (like a day after) I got a Cease and Desist order from Pez to take it down. (I'm wearing the only one printed in the video!)

This panel added another food item to that obsession.

You can see it right in the middle of the panel.

A can of Ecto Cooler.

Man, do I love Ecto Cooler.

I hope they never discontinue it again.

I still also love Pez and Bill and Ted.

A Big Mouth full of Ecto Cooler!

Big.

Ponder Kitchen: Making a Nostalgia Spritzer Extreme!!!

From youtube:


What happens when you take a Nostalgia Spritzer (Ecto Cooler + Surge) and add a little Crystal Pepsi?



Watch the video to find out!






Have you watched it yet?





I think it's pretty good. I don't think it improves on the original Nostalgia Spritzer, but it's still good.

It kinda tastes like a flavored cola. Like Pepsi with some citrus.

Or a bit like a suicide (or whatever you call it when you mix all the drinks in the soda fountain).


Not bad, but I prefer citrus straight-up.

EXTREME!

Ecto Cooler! Surge! Making a Nostalgia Spritzer!

I finally found some Ecto Cooler!

I still have the special Ecto Cooler glass I made way back when I tried to make my own Ecto Cooler!

e

It's as green as I remember!

It tastes just like I remember it tasting!

And it mixes well!

I even invented a new nonalcoholic cocktail!

I call it the "Nostalgia Spritzer"!

Make one at your own risk!

Day 67 - Bad MSPaint Art: Slimer! - 3/8/2015

I love the Ghostbusters (both Real and Filmation), Slimer, and wish Hi-C would get it's collective-crap together and bring back Ecto Cooler.

C'mon. You can get Stay Puft marshmallows all over, if you know where to look.

Ecto Cooler 2.

Ecto Cooler!!!!

Ecto Cooler




I have pined for Ecto Cooler since I first realized that I didn't see it around any more. After Googling it too many times, I resigned myself to the idea that I'd never have it again.

Then there were rumors of Ghostbusters 3... then Ghostbusters games came out on all the major video game systems and I started to hope that maybe Hi-C would bring it back and I could drink it again... but no.

Earlier this week I saw on Topless Robot's twitter feed that a group called Ghostbusters: Chicago Division posted a video with a recipe for Ecto Cooler!

Well I grabbed a pen and jotted it down!


In case you can't read it, here's a link to the G:CD Ecto Cooler page with the ingredients.

I traveled all over Indy searching for each ingredient. I went to 3 Targets, a Whole Foods, a couple Marshes, and a Kroger before I found everything.

I mixed up a pitcher of the good green glory:




But I wasn't quite ready. I had to make the proper drinking vessel for such a liquid link to the past:

And then I drank.
It's pretty good. If that's not what Ecto Cooler used to taste like, it's close enough to satisfy this geek's nostalgic thirst.

Oh, here's the video from which I got the recipe:

Mix, drink, enjoy!
