Trekkie Energy Drinks

The Romulan Ale Energy Drink is Ideal for Star Trek Movie Marathons

— March 28, 2011 — Lifestyle
Trekkies finally have an energy drink to call their own in the form of the Romulan Ale energy drink. The Romulan Ale energy drink is berry-flavored and packs an eye-opening 84mg of caffeine.

The Romulan Ale energy drink isn't all caffeine and creative can art; it is also flavored with ginseng and has vitamins like B6 and B12. The Romulan energy drink is sold in packs of six and goes perfectly with the Captain Kirk robe and Star Trek coasters (see related).

This drink proves just how powerful a force Star Trek really is. A Star Trek-themed energy drink is something I would have expected to see released around the same time as the latest Star Trek movie, not several years later. It is only a matter of time until you see a Star Trek section in your local Walmart. Remember where you heard it first.
