When it was announced that we’d be getting a reboot of the 80s classic, Ghostbusters, the clamoring for the re-release of a certain neon-green beverage were inevitable.

Now, it appears that our decades-long wait for the return of Ecto Cooler may soon be over, and lunchboxes nationwide will never be the same. In what appears to be a working production sample, we may be getting our first glimpse into what the new Ecto Cooler might look like. Hi-C logo, trademark, neon-green branding, forty-one grams of sugar… seems legit.
