Considering that the overlap of Star Trek Fandom and the SCA approached 
100% in the early days, this is hardly surprising.    The SCA began in 
1966, Star Trek began in 1966, that means Star Trek is Period, right 
Miniver Cheevey?  [Ooooh, running for The Rock now!]

Tranya was "played" in the show by Pink Grapefruit Juice, according to 
the recent Star Trek cookbook which exposed a lot of on-set food 
styling.  Unfortunately, child actor Clint Howard really detested the 
stuff.  He was a little trouper but you can still see the near-wince on 
his face in that scene.  [I'm not that good, it just aired on G4 last week.]

Green gatorade + everclear was what we used to call Klingon Kool-Aid... 
damn, we did some really stupid drinking.  I also strongly advise 
against combining dry ice with glow sticks, whose structural integrity 
is not rated to extremely low temperatures after all.

OK, another one:  Klingon Iced Tea, which was Blackcurrant Vodka with 
Dr. Pepper, tying in Worf's favorite prune juice with the popular urban 
legend about Dr. Pepper.  Rather drinkable but my memory of the exact 
proportions are curiously fuzzy, Jared may have to field this one.
