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.
Back in November, me and Cameron The Male Model went to the Sidekick LX release party. Kanye was performing. Steve Aoki was DJing. As I was wandering through a random golf clubhouse in Los Feliz, a few vodka sodas deep, a song came on. It was a great song. It sounded like Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam. I never asked Steve about the song because I thought I’d be able to find it on my own. All I could remember was “que sera, que sera.”
I asked many friends about this song. Friends who have a greater musical knowledge than me. Friends who get paid to know this stuff. Nobody could help me. I emailed Steve last night, he said he’d look into. Then, like an angel from heaven, Erock answered a post on I made on the Hollerboard. It was, in fact, Lisa Lisa. The song is called “Lost In Emotion” and it’s exactly where I’m at right now having figured out this song.
Side bar: (thee) Mike B had never heard this song before. He should post it on his blog which is one of my favorite music blogs
I believed Gatorade but not Mickey D’s. No way
I used to go to this roller rink on Friday nights when I was a kid, around 12 years old. I would rock my Rollerblades which I saved for an entire summer to buy…
and I’d carry them in this bag…
and when it was time to take a break from skate-dancing and holding hands with a random girl to…
I would go buy a can of…
And I would thank whoever was so genius to come up with a lightly carbonated sports drink

I was talking to Skeet Skeet about Atlanta on Blackberry Messenger cuz he will be DJing there tomorrow, and he was saying how he loves playing Atlanta because he gets to play Kilo Ali f. Big Boy “Love In Her Mouth” (from his 1997 album Organized Bass). He’d never heard what Kilo hears though.
This is from his 1992 album A-Town Rush. I feel like a lot of ironic hipster music tries to sound like this. I’m not going to name names.
