I know this has been brought up before, but is this still around?

A while back ago someone said that it is around, just under a different name. I would appreciate this info as well. That shit was good.

Discontinued a year or so ago. They changed the name for a while, but I think it was finally discontinued in 2006 or 2007. Tragic.

i had no idea. always liked the orange best.
from wikiiiisss-

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. The formula to make the Ecto Cooler and its counterparts is no longer made. Though the flavor is basically a combination of oranges and tangerines.
