My buddy Eric found something really interesting the other day. We searched around and couldn’t find any info on it, so I asked him to put the details here so we could try to find out more about it.

This is NOT one of the many interesting things found when Wacko moved into his house. (but the things he did find can be seen here).
But…I thought this was a pretty sweet find of it’s own.
Yes, it’s a bottle of Tru Blood from the popular vampire show on HBO.
I had been wanting to try a bottle since about a year ago when I first heard they actually made it. I read that FYE sold it, but never managed to get out there. The other day I decided I finally needed to pick one up, so I did & it lived in my fridge for the past week.
I watched the season finale this morning and figured it would be a good time to taste this fantasy beverage. However…upon closer inspection, it seems the imprinted name on the glass bottle has a bit of a misprint.
I’ve been trying to find more information on this misprint, but can’t seem to find anything. I have talked to several other fans who believe it looks like it may be quite a valuable collectible. If anyone happens to know anything about it, please let me know.

Thanks, Eric.
If it’s not clear it has two B’s in the word Tru Blood when it should normally only have one, what a cool typo.
I find this especially interesting because it’s a glass bottle. This is either something happened a lot or something exclusive to this one shipment, so if you’ve found some yourself or have more info please comment, I’ll add the info to the post proper.
Hello there! I am marketing manager for the company that makes this drink! I have been working for the company since the initial manufacturing of Tru Blood and I have never seen a misprint like that! Looks like you have a one of a kind!!
Wow, that's pretty awesome! Thanks for replying. I'm gonna hold on to this. Do you have any idea if it's worth anything? Also, is there any possibility of getting anything official from the company saying that? If not, that's cool, just figured I would ask. Thanks again for the reply! Hope to hear from you soon.
Hi Eric,
I can't provide you with anything official since I have no idea how many of these might be out there. I also do not know if it is worth anything, but the True Blood fans really love memorabilia and collectors items…so you never know!
I have one too the same misprint .But have not been able to find another yours is the first one i’v seen besides mine.I live in australia and was wondering if maybe It was an early manufacture error But if DR123 days the company did not even know then what happened .
Hey there! Thanks for replying. It’s interesting to hear that there are more around, and that there is one on the other side of the world. I’d definitely be interested if you find any other info. Please keep me posted if you hear anything else.
No worries mate :)
