Starting May 30, fans will be able to stock up on 10-packs of 6-ounce juice boxes and 6-and 12-packs of 11.5-ounce aluminum cans that, according to a release, turn “slime green” when the product is cold — a nod to Slimer, the green ghost in the film, that used to appear on containers. Buzz about Hi-C Ecto Cooler’s return — originally released in the late 80s and sold until 2001 — started last fall after it was reported that the company had filed a trademark patent for the drink. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4306454/ghostbusters-hi-ecto-cooler-coca-cola/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4306454/ghostbusters-hi-ecto-cooler-coca-cola/"},"headline":"Hi-C Ecto Cooler Is Coming Back Just in Time for the Ghostbusters Reboot","datePublished":"2016-04-25T15:52:08.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:31:49.330Z","description":"Who you gonna call?","url":"https://time.com/4306454/ghostbusters-hi-ecto-cooler-coca-cola/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Food & Drink"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt33c51a4faad73318/69889081196cf487fd03b56f/hi-ecto-cooler-ghostbusters-coca-cola.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
