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!

Thankful! For Novelty! Ink! And Nostalgia! 11/23, 24, 25/2015

For the last 3 days I've been Thankful!

For:

1. Novelty!

Novelty items and the sense of newness that makes things oh-so-much-better than they'll ever be again.


2. INK!

Ink is the reason so many things I love exist: books, comics, tattoos, etc.



3. Nostalgia!

Without this Ponder Couch, Dinosaur Dracula, and most of the other sites I check daily would not be.

Tomorrow is the big Thankful Day!

I Almost Sang "Snootchie Bootchies" Instead of "Hoochie-Coochie", but Princess Melawesome Said it Was Stupid

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!
