It's a fun meme trend and all, but an insistent little part of my fanboy brain keeps on bothering me to say it; Ketracel White is not actually a drug. It's merely a metabolite that Jem Hadar were engineered to be unable to make for themselves, so that they would die if they tried to flee the Dominion.

It's much like vitamin C is for humans. Humans depend on vitamin C, they die if they can't get enough of it. But snorting vitamin C is not a particularly pleasant experience. And for creatures that aren't dependent on vitamin C even less so.

There, my nerd brain is satisfied. You may continue with the funny memes.

Your nerd brain would be more satisfied if you did some ketracel white, man.

It's an addictive narcotic, definitely a drug.

This is funnier than it ought to be.

On an unrelated note, I really like the saturated color palette of early color TV shows. When did we decide that the default color palette should be awash in cold blue?

I'm going to call whatever whiskey I pour during late evening hours "Ketracel White" from now on.

Ketracel White makes everything alright.
