In 2025, fans of Hi-C Ecto Cooler are still waiting for its official return, having gone nearly a decade without this nostalgic drink. While options like Orange Tangerine Juicy Juice exist, a new player has emerged: &Pizza, an east-coast pizza chain known for innovative flatbreads and creative sodas. They have introduced a limited-edition Ecto Cooler knock-off called “&Do Cooler,” which closely resembles the original in flavor and presentation. The cans feature nostalgic branding without infringing on trademarks.
After hearing about this new drink from a friend, I quickly purchased a six-pack for a taste test. Upon pouring, the aroma and color matched the original Ecto Cooler closely, reigniting fond memories. However, the taste differs slightly; while it’s enjoyable, &Do Cooler is more syrupy and has a bit of sediment, making it sweeter than the original. This makes it less drinkable in larger quantities, potentially a healthier alternative for fans accustomed to the smoothness of the original.
I rated &Do Cooler a solid 7 out of 10 Slimers. At $2 per can, it’s a bit pricey but cheaper than other nostalgic sodas. Additionally, it contains 100% of the daily Vitamin C requirement. If you miss Ecto Cooler and have an &Pizza nearby, don’t miss the chance to try this limited-time offering before it disappears.
