Congratulations on ditching the K Cups, Ro Ro!
I’m the caller with the Ecto Cooler facts. That is the story I grew up with, but your skepticism made me do some research. It turns out the original (extremely unpopular) Hi-C flavor that was rebranded as Ecto Cooler was called Citrus Cooler. Cactus Cooler is a completely different bev. I asked my dad about this and he said he would trust the article I found over his memory. So I wouldn’t say my dad’s a liar but certainly a bad rememberer.
I also found out in my research that Ecto was meant to be a very limited release run tied in to The Real Ghostbusters cartoon, but it was so popular that it stuck around for 16 years.
Here’s the original commercial!

Way to follow through OP.
Tell your Dad we’re sorry we called him a liar.
Have you guys seen this??? http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2015/03/the-abominable-k-cup-coffee-pod-environment-problem/386501/
“I don’t have one. They’re kind of expensive to use,” John Sylvan told me frankly, of Keurig K-Cups, the single-serve brewing pods that have fundamentally changed the coffee experience in recent years. “Plus it’s not like drip coffee is tough to make.” Which would seem like a pretty banal sentiment, were Sylvan not the inventor of the K-Cup.
I was just coming to share this.
Getting rid of the Keurig means getting on the right side of history, it seems.
Hey guys! So, I just wanted to share a bit about the NA beer culture. I lived in Japan for 2 years and non-alcoholic beer was actually pretty popular there. And let me tell you, it’s definitely not because the Japanese aren’t all crippling alcoholics. But normally when you would go to a drinking/dinner party, it was pretty standard to have NA beer present. I think it was mostly so people that weren’t drinking could feel like they were fitting in. Another reason for it being so widely produced there though is that there is no alcohol tax on them and they are sold for about the same $$ so they make more money off of them. ~the more you know~~
My dad used to drink NA beer when I was growing up. One time in high school I was going to a friend’s house and was really thirsty, so I grabbed an NA to drink on the way. I wasn’t sure if I was allowed to drink it in the car, so I walked into her house and cracked the beer, and her mom looked at me like I was crazy.
