We are OBSESSED with True Blood here at PopAwesome, so we are super excited to share this news with you! The once-fictional Tru Blood beverage from the HBO hit series True Blood has now emerged as a real Blood Orange carbonated drink that will be in stores this September. Officially licensed from HBO Licensing & Retail by Omni Consumer Products, the beverage boasts a crisp, slightly tart and lightly sweet tang, and the bottle has been crafted to replicate the appearance of the vampiric sustenance found on the series – blood type, logo and all.
“The success of True Blood has created a terrific opportunity to develop a great tasting, refreshing and enlivening drink,” said Omni Consumer Products founder Pete Hottelet. “We’re thrilled to represent the True Blood brand in this category.”
“From its first season, fans have been enamored with the show and have expressed a keen interest in the Tru Blood beverage,” added James Costos, vice president, Licensing & Retail at HBO. “We’re extremely excited to be able to bring this original drink to life.”
The Tru Blood drink was officially announced by Alan Ball, creator and executive producer of True Blood, at the San Diego Comic Con on July 25, where fans were able to sample the beverage and take a bottle home.
The True Blood series kicked off its 12-episode second season on June 14 and can be seen Sundays (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT) through September 13th, exclusively on HBO. For more information on the Tru Blood beverage, visit TRUBEVERAGE.COM.

Hot Topic carries it fro $24.99. I’m trying to find it cheaper.
your better off ordering it off the tru blood site. 25 buck for a 4 pack at hot topic when online it is 16 plus around 3 or shipping. yeah you have to wait longer for it but you will save a few bucks and gas.
Amazon has it too. The 24 pack is the best value but they also have the 4 pack for 15.95.
