It may be safe to say that the Ecto Cooler wasn't just a fad since it was sold in stores until 2001, a full 12 years since the theater release of "Ghostbusters II."
Now with the "Ghostbusters" Ghostbusters reboot hitting theaters July 15, 2016, it's highly likely that Coca-Cola will be bringing back the Ecto Cooler.
According to CNBC, Coke isn't the only beverage company playing on the nostalgia market. Competitor Pepsi reportedly hinted at the return of Crystal Pepsi in June in honor of "Back to the Future's" anniversary.
