True Blood fans ...

[OmahaStar]

You know those weird special bottles that are used on the show, showing TruBlood in em? Well now you can own one.

On their store's website, HBO has offered them for a few months, a package of 4 for 16 bucks, plus excessive shipping that more than doubles the price.

Starting Sunday, Best Buy stores across the US will carry TruBlood for 3.99 per bottle (and no shipping, if you get em in the store).

I remember discovering these last year, just before Halloween. Sunday is perfect timing for me too! Thanks for the head-up!

Tasted these at a con. It's flavored soda, reminiscent of Mt. Dew Code Red. Pretty good for what it is.

For me, it's all about the bottle. I don't drink soda anymore, haven't had any since March.

Coming from you, that's high praise indeed!

005 - Glad you like it, I think there are at least half a dozen people on my team at work who are big enough fans of the tv show that they'll be making a mad dash for these bottles.

^I believe it's "Blood Orange"-flavored soda.

And like OmahaStar, I'm much more interested in having it as a prop on my shelf rather than a drink to imbibe.

Now, if only I could give up root beer...

Yeah, I'd buy a bottle or two, just to have 'em...but I wouldn't actually drink the stuff.

Anyone else preorder True Blood's second season on blu ray from Best Buy? For five bucks, ya get a reserved copy & a miniposter for the Tru Blood beverage that says "Real Blood is for Suckers".

I have it on my fridge.

True ... and Best Buy has the best price for B&M, while Amazon has the best price online (32.99 either way). But at Best Buy, you can get the bottles too.

Fantastic news, I can't wait to get a few of these to decorate my shelves with.
