 Astroglide: Zantigo has been back in MN for quite a while now. I think there are 3 or 4 around now. Went there once, ehh, it's ok I guess. Nothing special. But, that was when it first reopenned a few years back. I think I'll go there tomorrow and report back. [/ QUOTE ] I used to call the weird 800 numbers on there all the time.

 The drink the drink that made your weinie shrink. This stuff was awesome. [/ QUOTE ] Ok, so in high school my friends and I went to this huge Surge promo dealie. We got keychains, tee shirts etc... and they were giving away cases upon cases of this stuff. So my friends and I carried a [censored] load of cases all the way to the subway. Lugged them around onto the buss and then walked home with them. Let me tell you...it was no easy task. So I had a pretty good supply of this stuff. Then I got in a fight w/ my mom (I recently recalled in another thread that she threw my RBF autographed poster away while she was mad at me). She tossed each and every can of surge away after dumping it in the sink. I was SO pissed. But yes, this stuff was delicious. This mixed w/ smarties and those vials full of sour sugar...this kept me up for multiple days on the weekends when I used to just chat on AOL on our awesome 56K modem. ha ha ha.

[/ QUOTE ] From The Hi-C wiki; Ecto Cooler was quite possibly the most successful movie product tie-in in history. Hi-C struck a deal in 1984 to promote the movie Ghostbusters by developing a drink. Expected to last only as long as the movie, the drink was wildly successful beyond all 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. Besides 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.
