It's long off patent for decades. That would be interesting to hype. It's cheap to make bulk viral RNA on contract in a GLP/GMP contract facility and with dilution (actual dilution in sterile TBE buffer) you could split a mere 10 micrograms over millions of energy drink cans - femtomolar levels can still be claims to have the viral RNA (although RNA is quite labile and would be degraded to ribonucleotides quite quickly). But that doesn't matter to energy drink buyers - they buy the hype.
There's a significant regulatory issue to overcome for doing that (you cannot claims something is an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and then separately claim it's not biologically active and a safe natural foodstuff. But for that fact, I'd not be surprised to see that angle tried too. Could sell a lot of shares potentially.
We've discussed the energy drink additive issues here on DD before - I know I recall posting on them. But for that pesky FDA, huh? LOL.
I like the way your creative mind thinks. There are some good product concepts there. Regulatory problems, but clever marketing gimmicks nonetheless.
