0 Comments Gatorade Tiger

Posted by The Elitaste on 31 Mar 2008


Tiger Wood is the first athlete to have his own Gatorade despite the fact they sponsored Michael Jordan for so long. This kinda reminds me of when Slimer got his own Hi-C drink, Ecto Cooler

Ecto Cooler was a product tie-in with the movie Ghostbusters. Hi-C struck a deal in 1984 to promote the movie by developing a drink. Expected to last only as long as the movie, the drink was successful beyond expectations and continued to be produced for the better part of two decades. The Ecto Cooler box featured the Ghostbusters character Slimer, as did the commercials. 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. Slimer was replaced on the packaging by a similar-looking blob of lips. Except for the flavor, the only other unchanged aspect of the product is that it is still being noted as ecto cool on many store receipts. In 2006, Shoutin’ Orange Tangergreen was renamed Crazy Citrus Cooler. In 2007, Crazy Citrus Cooler was discontinued. I will always remember the Ecto Cooler because my mom never let me drink Hi-C.
