Inspired by HBO's hugely successful vampire drama series, True Blood, Omni Consumer Products struck a deal with the network's licensing division to releasing 'Tru Blood' the actual beverage. Even with vampires swarming popular culture this seems a little too far; a drinkable product inspired by a beverage meant to taste like blood so that fake vampires from a pay-cable TV show can survive without having to resort to feasting on humans. But hey, give the people what they want.
a carbonated drink based on the HBO series "True Blood" is planned to go on sale in September. In a news release on Monday, Omni Consumer Products said that it had struck a deal with HBO’s licensing division to produce Tru Blood, inspired by the drink that the program’s vampires consume for sustenance (when they’re not feeding on the living). In a statement, the company said that its Tru Blood drink would have “a crisp, slightly tart and lightly sweet tang,” and come in a bottle similar to the one featured on the HBO series.
Sadly enough, I'll try it.

I'm secretly hoping that the new craze will no longer be carrying a Starbucks cup around, but a bottle of True Blood - how great would that be!?

Howdy mate,
Just bought a 4 pack of Tru Blood down at ye old Picadilly Square. It tastes amazing, best way to describe it would be like sucking on a used tampon from your dead grandmother. REAL JUICY!
