Tru Blood / Okay, let's ID this bottle!

[Rylo]

I'm diggin' on the new show, Tru Blood.

Here's a promo bottle. It looks a bit like a BBQ sauce bottle or something along those lines.

Let's see who finds it first.

(Pics back in a few) Here's a screen shot.

On my way to the store to compare some bottles.

It looks a bit bigger than an average beer bottle on the show.

Looks like the bottle some BBQ sauces come in from what I can tell.

 

[madrobot]

Look closely at this bottle. I believe that this is it.

I'd like to find a bottle like the ones shown on the "official" Tru Blood site..

Is that a real screen used bottle?
The bottle's on the website are custom...

The website also has downloadable ads with vector logos that will make the labels fairly easy to reproduce.

The art bottles do look a little different.

That's a pic of a promo bottle given out by the studio above.

That's a pic of a promo/prop bottle above.

Promo? As in some promotional giveaway?
If that's the case it could be a cheaper mass production version of the show props.

The website bottles are probably just photoshop/3D renderings of the 'ideal' bottle.
The bottle in the TV still looks like it has a straighter neck than the BBQ bottle though I think that's the right direction.

 

[Rylo]

Yep, it was a promotional giveaway.

I'm going through pics now. The bottles tend to look a little different to me in the first episode. Could be my eyes messing with me.

Either way, I think you're right about the renderings.

Great new show!

Already got the t-shirts from the Hbo store! :lol

So I think we're agreed that the "real" bottle from the website is a MacGuffin. Chances are it hasn't been made in the physical realm and possibly never will be.

I do think the bottle madrobot posted is correct, if not very...very close.

So, can anyone work up a paper label? Nice cheap prop display, all you need is a $4 dollar bottle of BBQ sauce, and some fake blood.

 

[madrobot]

I'll drop the $2.59 to go buy this stuff. They carry it at our local grocery store.

 

[Rylo]

Okay, here's where I am on the promo bottle at least.

Seems this is a generic bottle any number of BBQ suaces come in.

Whatcha think?

 

[UnitPD]

Thats definitely the right bottle

 

[Mechamaniac]

Looks like a winner to me.

What brand BBQ sauce is it?

 

[Rylo]

Well, this one was Bessinger's, but I noticed a local brand in the same jar.
