Is it Tru? Is it Tru?

So, I got a bottle of Tru Blood Energy Drink:



I watched the first season of the show and read that comic trade up there. I enjoy this stuff! I might read one of the books it's all based on some time. Whelp, let's open it up:





It certainly LOOKS like blood of some sort...


Hmmm... in the glass it looks more like blood orange (like it says on the label). Let's see if it tastes like blood...

Yeah... I know I need a haircut (I tried this awhile ago, my hair is less moptop now).

The verdict? It's pretty good. It doesn't taste like any blood I've ever imbibed before, and it tastes quite a bit like blood orange juice. The bottle looks pretty much like the bottles of the stuff on the show, so that's good.

Can't Get Enough of That Wonderful Duff!

Hello, what's this?

Hey! That's not as bad as other people made it out to be! And hey, it kinda looks like beer.

Yeah, it's kind of an orange, citrusy flavor. Not that vitamin/baby aspirin with a hint of that when-you-throw-up-in-the-back-of-your-mouth flavor that most energy drinks have. It's not all that different from Mountain Dew, which I love! I like it so much that I based Muice Joose! on it in my comic strip.


I quite like this drink. It's well worth a bit of money to drink a real Duff Bee... *sigh*... Energy Drink...


They used to carry it in Hot Topic and Disc Replay, but I have not been able to find it lately. I ordered this 6 pack from amazon.com. There isn't that much left, so if you want to try it and/or add a can to your reverse product placement collection, act fast! I can't find any of the Slurm Energy Drink for a sequel (or spinoff, if you will) review.



I snoozed, I losed.





Where was I? Oh yeah...

To finish the review: "Duff! It's not just for breakfast anymore!"



Now if I could only get my hands on the Australian version:


Or the Mexican version:


If you can send me either beer, or the Slurm Energy Drink, I'd be much obliged. Or if you have another Reverse Product Placement item you'd like to see reviewed I'll review it, I'll review the crap out of it!
