Rowsdower70 Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 I remember liking the packaging but not being a fan of the drink. Still, I love that they are bringing it back. Wonder if we can get some Jolt!

StormSurge Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 I love this. I got hooked on Ecto Cooler before it was Ecto Cooler. Giant aluminum cans with two holes poked in the top so it would pour out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlamoAtari Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 I drank it because it was cheaper than the rest. My mom was spendthrift like no other. Dented cans, even better. Good thing I had my tetanus shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlamoAtari Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Didn't they even try to do some sort of a TMNT tie in as well? I'm a bit fuzzy on that. But it was a big summer movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowsdower70 Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 I love this. I got hooked on Ecto Cooler before it was Ecto Cooler.

Rowsdower70 Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 I used to love Grape Tang! Anyone remember that?I also seem to remember a pie recipe with Orange Tang that was actually pretty tasty.

RickR Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Yes! Grape Tang was good stuff. Seems like we got a bunch of grape flavored items (like bubble gum) in the early 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormSurge Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Whoa, I do not remember Grape Tang. All I ever had was the original orange. That looks amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
