Crack Open a Synthehol With Classic Star Trek Bottle Opener

We can't imagine this bottle opener would have any use in the Star Trek universe (rudimentary hyper spanner, perhaps?), but here at home in 2008 anything that reeks of Trek and assists with inebriation is an indispensable tool. As you can see, the metal opener is all sorts of shiny, and is styled after the original Enterprise NCC-1701. The nacelles serve as leverage to help you crack open a Romulan Ale, Cardassian Ale, or just a plain ol' Budweiser. Expect this to hit store shelves at the end of June for about $23. [Red5]

Yeah. Because Star Trek fans are known for their crazy drunken benders.

Synth-ale, synthehol is the generic term for the alcohol replacement.

Personally, I'll take Aldebran Whiskey. It is...It is...It is green.

Hrmm, the only improvement I could see is sound effects. Perhaps a chirp, or bosons whistle, or Data's drink analysis.

At 44, Im just old enough to remember Star Trek's entry into modern TV. While Sci-Fi has changed with the times, the story always pivoted on an exploratory and non threatening and accepting venue. We are humans and due to hubris, we believe we can conquor anything. TAKE THAT Global Warming! LOL. Anyway...this is the first Trek item Ive seen for many years that wasnt totally tacky...I want one

i suppose Saurian Brandy and Klingon Bloodwine both have corks?

either way... the nacelles on a ship of that vintage would be above the saucer not below. and... it is freaking huge! seriously! look at the pic in a guys hand! you could club someone to death with it.

OK, you can get it shipped to the U.S. but have to go to the second page to get an option for international shipping.

I would imagine that the nacelles could easily get bent trying to open a particularly difficult bottle or after repeated use. Looks cool, but probably not the most practical bottle opener in the world.
