Like Surge and Strawberry Honeycomb, part of the reason for the brand’s resurrection is simply that the people who grew up with it are young adults with disposable income, a demographic whose consumption of soft drinks and juice-flavored high-fructose corn syrup waters is generally falling.
The new Ghostbusters movie hits theaters on July 15, and Coca-Cola announced that it’s putting out the drink on May 30. In its announcement, the company says that pressure came from very different groups with some common interests: nostalgia-filled social media users and the people in charge of marketing the new Ghostbusters movie.
The drink will not come in the classic metal cans that must be punctured on the top, but in six-ounce juice boxes and 11.5-ounce metal cans. (Not 12 ounces? It must be the Ectoplasm Shrink Ray.)
