It had to happen, didn’t it? (As a commercial product, I mean. Heaven knows it’s been around SF conventions in one form or another forever.) And naturally, it now happens as an energy drink.<\/p>\n

“Romulan Ale Star Trek Energy Drink will not make you drunk.<\/a> What it will do is ramp up your body for anything. It’s got vitamins (like B6 and B12), ginseng, and loads of caffeine (84 mg per easy-to-drink-in-one-sitting-because-it-tastes-so-good can), all wrapped up in a yummy berry taste. And it’s blue. Aaaand, it comes in a six pack, just like you’d get at your local Romulan Quickie Mart. Romulan Ale Star Trek Energy Drink is full of alien technology and taste to keep you awake and alert. You know, so you can keep on trekkin’ (sorry, we had to).”<\/p>\n

(headclutch) Oh well.<\/p>\n
