Oh my, this vampire craze!
Ran across this on the internet this morning where it was posted with a picture of the bottle....I don't watch the show, but I know we do have quite a few Vampire fans here (like Pepper!!) and I'm just running amuck with the whole Halloween theme anyway...so....
*************************************
Tru Blood ~ This fall, keep your eyes peeled for what will most likely be the high-water mark of our inexplicable vampire obsession. When the vampires of the HBO series True Blood want to avoid sucking human veins dry, they drink a synthetic concoction called Tru Blood. Now, in one of the weirdest manifestations yet of the current fang frenzy, fans can too: in July Omni Consumer Products struck a deal with HBO to produce a carbonated drink inspired by the undead characters' quaff, also called Tru Blood but intended for humans (we assume). Scheduled to hit stores in September, it will taste "slightly tart and lightly sweet," according to its product description, and come in a bottle similar to the ones used in the show. The advertising slogan? "All flavor. No bite."

Re: Oh my, this vampire craze!
Its actually a very common thing for drinks and foods to be made using the same name as items in a popular franchise. The videogame series Final Fantasy has actually done this coinciding with the release of the last few games. When Final Fantasy XIII releases later next year, they're releasing the energy drink Elixer (which is an ingame item that in past games would completely restore your health and magic power, so an energy drink makes sense...)
And there was some NBC show that did this in the past, just can't remember which one...
Its basically reverse product placement, and its a great benefit for the franchise in question because not only are they getting free advertising, but they're getting paid for someone else to advertise their product.
