    How soon until their website crashes from traffic of people trying to get to that recipe?

      Ha, that's something we've anticipated. Hopefully our hosting provider can handle it. We just want to share this delicious drink with as many people as possible.

    Zach it is so cool you mentioned x-entertainment, I have been a regular of that site for about 8 years now. I love the thought of two guys dressed in ghostbusters uniforms trooping in with a cooler of etco cooler for Brad.

    Brad, it looked like a tear almost came to your eye when you took that 1st sip! All those old memories of childhood past coming all back at once?

    I'v always wanted to try that stuff again because when it came out I was still very younge! I'll have to visit the Ghostbuster's site after here and get the formula!

    PS: What was Jerrid and them talking about off camera, because I could hear him threw out the Ghostbuster dude's whole spill!?

    Sweet! Ecto Cooler! I remember drinking that when I was a kid! Wish they still had those Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cream pies! Too bad you couldn't get the cute lady in pink to drink some; always like more ladies in the video! Sweet Mexican Wrestler mask, B.T.W!

    @Jodi D Uh, I was the one to mention X-Entertainment. At any rate, the fact that dude went so far out of his way to seek the awesomeness of the Cooler as well as Brad having the desire for it motivated me to get this recipe made. If it weren't for Matt of X-E, i wouldn't have got all the information needed to make this what it is today. He only deserved to be mentioned.

    Big ups on the 'I Love the Monster' shirt.

    Arguably one of the finest t-shirt designs in history...you can wear it in public (amongst a non-convention crowd) and get constant looks of confused disgust from middle-aged women. It's wonderful!

    Brad, was it like in the episode of "Breaking Bad" where Walt is invited to Gus' house for dinner and then later Walt explains the concept of relational memory?

    Did the Ecto Cooler bring back any memories of childhood you had forgotten?

    @Dan Shannon I mention X-E every chance I get lol. Him and I have the same appreciation for nostalgic obscure things. Now the long wait for Brad to try a chocodile and then I am good.

    Strangely it was forbidden from my house, so my only source was from birthday parties or snack time in class.

    Thanks Ghostbusters! Thanks Brad! <3

    I'd really love to donate to Brad Tries. There's a bunch of great micro brews in the city where I live that I would love to send you. Dead Guy Ale Is among the things I'd like to send.

    Made some of this up today and it came out great! Had to get a couple different ingredients that were close to the ones in the original to pull it off, mostly the flavors of Kool-Aid/Powdered Drink Mix, but it came out good! Also I made it green by a bit different of a method, using some yellow and blue to get to green rather than adding a ton of green to the mix. Ecto Cooler rocks!

    Thank you so much for doing this review. My friends and I were talking about ecto cooler while we were hanging out during duck season early this year. We always start getting nostalgic when we all get together staying up way too late playing NES and watching MST3K at my cabin. I found the recipe from the GCD and will make it for them as a surprise. Love your work. You even have loyal redneck fans down in Mississippi. Ever want to come hunting, fishing, or make a campy film in a good wooded area with a lake and a cabin you are always welcome.
