Romulan Ale (Energy Drink)

While out with a friend, we stopped by a candy store.  Feeling parched, he perused the cooler selection of beverages and picked up a couple.  I was fine until I saw a tiny can on the bottom shelf.

My geek-dar was tingling.

"Does that say Romulan Ale?" I asked my friend.  He confirmed that it did, and I squeezed past him and grabbed a can. 

Oh yes my darlings... I let my geek flag fly!

Now, for those that I need to say it for, I know it's really NOT Romulan Ale, but come one... this geek just couldn't resist the cheesiness of this concoction.  Just look at it for fuck sakes.

This 8.4 fl oz can of blue beverage consumption makes me laugh by reading on the side "This product is not endorsed by the United States Federation of Planets".  (It also says "Product not intended for children".)

Fuck the 110 calories and all the other nutritional mumbo jumbo.  I cracked the can and sipped and was not sickened by the contents inside (which were, indeed, blue).  It didn't have a memorable "oh my gawd, this is the shit" flavor to it, but it didn't make me gag.  I finished the can and was fine. 

Later on I needed some water since Romulan Ale sticks with you for a while.

Would I ever try this again?  I wouldn't drive around screaming "I need me some Romulan Ale", but if it was put in front of me (and perhaps mixed with some alcohol), I wouldn't necessarily say no.
