Do you often find yourself falling asleep just before you can get to that next Super Mario Galaxy level? Need a boost? Why not give yourself a kick in the pants, Mario style, with this Super Mario Power Up! Energy Drink.

Super Mario Power Up! Energy Drink

While word on the street is that it’s “blue-raspberry” flavored, I’m betting the drink tastes something like a mix of Red Bull and toadstools.

Just in case you were thinking about giving this stuff for your kids, the label is clearly marked “Product not intended for children”. Presumably, this is to keep them from bouncing off the walls, but maybe it just causes anyone under the age of 18 to spontaneously combust. I’ll leave that to you guys to test.

If want to give a can a try, I managed to find some over on GKWorld for $2.95 a can. (For those of you in the UK, check out CyberCandy to get your boost.)

These are also avaliable at Spencer’s and have been for the last few months. Pretty good taste too!

Actually, I believe that it’s not intended for children because they just MIGHT become fully-grown Italian men if they drink it.
