I don't know if these guys distribute nationally - as they are based in Woburn, MA - but their products are awesome. They sell, primarily mints, energy drinks, and candies. That's not the draw though. The draw is the collectible tins the products come in:

I have 2 question mark blocks, a 1UP mushroom, 4 blue ghosts, an Umbrella crest, a Blinky, and 2 Pac-Men. I have wanted to try some of the energy drinks, but have not.

I have seen these back in NY. It's the only thing I've ever seen in Zumiez (sp) that interested me. I didn't really like the mints, but the tins were cool. I used to keep things in the NES controller tin until it got beat up and wouldn't stay shut without a rubber band.

They have Romulan Ale as well, as probably one of those "one-time only" energy drinks where they taste bad but you want it because it's a limited edition, like the Halo 3 Game Fuel.

I know you all liked Halo 3 Game Fuel.

They have some of these candies at the Play 'n Trade here, they aren't anything to write home about, but they aren't bad. It will satisfy that "12 year old Motherfucker" who hangs around every PnT and laughs because he can beat everyone at Guitar Hero and wonders why you're buying Cosmic Carnage for 32x for your collection.

I never tasted any Video Game Based Energy Drinks. I would though, if I could afford to drink them all the time. I'm more of a coffee and hot tea guy, myself.

The energy drinks are AWESOME. My second favorite drink, just below Ramune.
