V8 Juice: I'm a Believer now!! (1 Viewer)

[RobertR]

It has enough sodium to salt the streets of Detroit each winter.

That blows its appeal for those on sodium restricted diets.

I don't like tomatoes or tomato juice, but I like ketchup and don't mind V8, I like the taste of it, but it's a little thick. I can't drink much more than one of those small cans, and it has to be really cold.

Try mixing it with a beer! Guaranteed you won't have a hangover the next day!

Yes, it is high in Sodium. To me the low-sodium version tastes bad. But what about the "ACE" V8? Sodium is in between. Maybe it tastes good, I don't know.

Here's a comparison of V8 versus tomato juice:

(serving size 8 oz.)

V8: Calories, 50; Sodium, 620mg; Potassium, 540mg; Dietary fiber, 1g; Sugars, 8g; Protein, 1g.

TJ: Calories, 50; Sodium, 750mg; Potassium, 430mg; Dietary fiber, 2g; Sugars, 7g; Protein, 2g.

Both have 0 fat, 0 cholesterol, and 10g total carbohydrates.

Ahh.. the poor-man's bloody mary. Tomato/V8 juice and beer. Definately takes the edge off of a hangover.
I also like the V8-Splash fruit drinks. Anything that says "color swirls are a natural occurance" on the label is ok with me.

I absolutely love TJ & V8 but stopped drinking both when I learned how much sodium was in them. I have not heard of the low sodium versions but I will have to check into them.
