They have had so many flavors over the years and lemon was one of them! I missed that one a lot. The black pepper one is also one I miss and, Of course because I liked it they pulled it back. Sigh
I absolutely love the “spicy” version. It tastes wonderful. The other day as I was buying a case at my local home improvement store, where it’s half the cost of the grocery store, a guy next to me said- “wow, that stuff must be good huh!” Me- “it’s fabulous.” As I loaded up my case I couldn’t help but notice that he had a bottle in his cart also.
I drink between four and six cans of the original flavor every day and feel like it's one of my favorite ways of getting the good stuff that I might not get otherwise. Thank you for being a good guy and for making what the folks needed in an affordable way Mr. Peacock. Well done!
Lol not true at all , it's so processed all the good is taken out and the sodium is though the roof .. I like It also but it's not at all a vegetable substitute!!
I ran out of tomato juice while making my chili and I had some V-8 and decided to try it. It turned out to be the best decision I could have made. it's the only way I make my chili now 😁
In the late '70's, I had a Plymouth Valiant. Loved that car. But, I wanted a 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner. "I could have had a V8!" (Got the Roadrunner, with the 383 V8.) I got the V8! (Well, all 8 cylinders were animals!) steve
My first car in 1978 had a 383 motor. That car was a 1972 Chrysler Newport, hand me down from my parents. Not quite the same as a Roadrunner. But six months later I bought a 1971 Camaro Z28 SS. I basically trashed the Newport in those first six months driving but learned from that and kept the Z for six years.
My grandmother developed type 2 diabetes in her early 80s. Besides taking a shot of insulin every day she had to really watch her diet. Everyday at lunch she had a salad and the salad dressing that she made for herself started with a base of V8 juice. She was given the recipe by her dietitian. It was awesome! Unfortunately I was only 10 when she passed away so I don't have the recipe.
My 81 year old grandpa drinks half a can every morning with a few dashes of Tabasco sauce. Says it's good for your arteries. I don't know if any of that is based in fact, but the old man still works harder than a lot of people I know!
My favorite juice! I first liked tomato juice and then I wanted to try original V8 and now Tomato juice tastes plain because I am used to V8. Can be high on sodium but I do like getting the my Vitamin C and vegetables intake. The original Plant powered Drink, Veg Up!
@@suebrubaker6182 I mix 1 bottle regular spicy with 1 bottle low sodium it still tastes great,but is much better nutritionly. Regular has like 650 mg sodium per serving and reduced sodium has around 150 mg per sodium. Hellova difference
I know for myself, that when I’m feeling sluggish, and need a good pick-me-up, I can drink V8, and it actually restores my energy! The original energy drink, without harmful side affects. I also like to crumble saltines in it, and eat it like that. Mmmmm! Mmmmmm!
Been drinking and loving this since the 60s. I worked at a company right next to Campbell's to help develop Prego spaghetti sauce back in the 90s. Get in my belly!!!
Been swapping out cans of coke for a juice box "V8 Breakfast" drink. Tropical flavour (tastes amazing) not the tomato ones. Could be a placebo effect but I'm feeling a bit better, plus knowing you're swapping pure sugar out for something a bit better makes you feel more positive mentally 👌
I find it tastes the best when the cans are soaked in a tub of ice water over night and with more ice added in the morning with salt added to the ice bath the cans of V-8 are in. V-8 is best served ice cold on a hot summers day.
I love V-8 juice, I think it is delicious. When I was a little girl under age 4 which was 1950 and we went to a restaurant that served delicious dinners and they started your meal with a tiny glass of V-8 juice as a starter course.
V-8 juice Came out with a V-8 Juice that had added " Lime Juice " . I criticized that idea, and just as they were Closing it Out on the Market, I gave it a try . " I Definitely " Regret Criticizing " it and waiting to try it until it was closing out ! Beside good health benefits it was one of the " Best Tasting " products on the Market " ! " I hope that one day they will bring it back " !
V8 isn't meant to be substitute for regular food it's a drink I buy it by the cases and keep it around all the time O wait I forgot it makes the best bloody mary's it's the beverage of choice
My father lived to be 85 despite being a 3pack camel smoker swore by his V8 everyday. I myself am approaching 70 & I have my spicy V8 everyday & use the low salt version for soup stock. When juicing veggies became the rage, I just laughed. I'll take my Spicy V8. In my family, the joke is when you turn 40 the dormant V8 gene becomes active.
I’m a truck driver and I use to go to a frozen food warehouse in Napoleon,Ohio. They had these large plastic containers filled with a black frozen product,when I asked the forklift driver what the product was, he told me that it was V8 juice. I asked him why it was black and he told me that it was condensed and they added water and red food coloring.
It's the base of every great Bloody Mary. Past that. It's better than a sugary soda..not as healthy as water and earing an actual vegetable ( plus there's a lot of salt in it)
Me too ... I never had or ever will use any juice other than V-8 for a Bloody Mary ..then I add Tabasco ,Worcestershire, lemon and horseradish ... makes a absolutely perfect Bloody Mary ..not only is V-8 perfect for a Bloody Mary I find since it's such a substantial juice you just dont drink as much
Only Problem is I found out what makes V8 so good, it’s the salt. The low Sodium version is terrible. I do drink it but spice it up with pepper and hot sauce.
I generally agree with you on the low sodium version; however, I found that the low sodium/spicy hot version was quite an improvement. If you are forced to be on a low sodium diet (and for a while I was) that was the best compromise available.
I’ve been drinking V-8 for over 50 years. Switched to lo sodium 30 years ago when I developed high blood pressure. Takes a few weeks to get used to it , but now I find the original way too salty and much prefer the lo sodium
@@walterdudek9752 That makes sense. After you stop eating lots of salt or sugar your body stops craving it and over time things with low salt or sugar will start to taste better. Taste buds are just too used to high salt or sugar so when you stop eating that it takes some time to get used to.
I don't know why but I always got it on Flights, then after a couple years I decided to take a peek at the label and realized it has over half the amount of daily recommended sodium intake! probably explains why I never need to use the restroom on flights
V-8 is a meal in a can. The ingredients that make it so good are Beets, Tomatoes, Carrots, & Celery (plus Watercress, Spinach, & strangely: Sweet Potatoes, because it isn't actually very sweet). Some people say that it's too salty, but I think it's perfect.
I was in a bar down the Jersey shore in the 70's the girl next to me orders a Red Eye,sounded like a cowboy drink,turned out it was tomato juice and beer.
Married an Idaho boy who just called it "Red Beer" 😃 Now in California I order what my local Mexican restaurant calls a Michelada and you specify which beer. Still love it even if I don't have home canned tomato juice from my mother-in-law.
I detested V8 when I tried it as a drink. However, when I tried putting it in a bowl, heating it up, and eating it with a spoon, it was great! Amazing that such a disagreeable drink made such a great soup!
My wife and I make our own version of V-8 juice. Tomatoes, celery, beets, a small onion, carrots, green and yellow bell pepper, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, ground black pepper, sea salt. I love it. It's perfect for a pick me up when my sugar is off.
V8-so smart with the little cans. Ice cold-first sip-Wow,I forgot how good!!! 2nd sip-ok,nice 3rd sip-hey,pretty good 4th sip...I'm about over it and guess what? It gone!
I love the original v8 juice, I've tried the low sodium version, but it isn't as good as the original. I've been drinking it for years, about 2 bottles per week.
@@Chaoitcme I already have high BP, but my meds for it keep it normal. Every time my BP is tested it's normal. Sometimes I just crave the stuff. I should just drink half a bottle when I have it, but, I hate to drink it cold out of the fridge, so, I just drink it all. And, still sometimes I crave it all anyway.
V8 fans, give this a try: -Pour a tall glass of V8 Low Sodium (we are going to be adding salty stuff) -Shake in a good amount of celery salt to boost the delicious celery taste. Alternatively you can rim the glass with it -Grind in some fresh cracked black pepper -Shake in some hot sauce. I prefer Tapatío but your favourite will work just as well. Cholula, Frank’s, Crystal, whatever you have on hand -Shake in a few drops of Worcestershire sauce, preferably Lea & Perrins -If desired, add a few capfuls of White Vinegar or Malt Vinegar Stir well and enjoy! Let me know what you think! it’s not the most inventive or original drink idea but it’s kinda like a virgin Bloody Mary. I hate liquor due to its awful taste and worse effects but that’s just me. Feel free to add vodka or your favourite tipple (mixing it with beer might be good for those who like beer and tomato juice) to make it a cocktail. I personally like it as a Mock-tail. Enjoy!
Avid fan of the stuff. Once they partnered with Tabasco, my pantry needed more shelves. Aside from being an amazing beverage I use it regularly for cooking for it's unique flavor and versatility. I got a juicer for Christmas and then it was off to the races.
Everybody worried about the high salt in V8, I read somewhere that it isn't really, because of how it's made, the chemical structure in the juice itself, actually cuts the sodium amount
Regular V-8 does have quite a bit of salt but the Low-Sodium version is ok. I wonder if they take the fiber out on purpose. Only 3 grams of fiber per can is a lost opportunity. I am sure it is better eating the vegtables themselves, just like it is better eating fruit rather than fruit juice. When eating real fruit, fiber and pectin slows the passage of food through the intestinal GI tract, helps lower blood cholesterol.
I love all of the V8 juices! The strawberry 🍓 banana 🍌... It is so yummy 😋 and I like the original V8 juice...I like to add a pinch of salt right into the bottle. I don't care 4 the spicy hot v8's! I haven't tried the smoothie v8 juices yet. Perfect for a high boost for low potassium and magnesium/fiber levels...My levels are very low....So I really need the xtra ...I also have low sodium levels...In my opinion...I do believe it's very healthy and good for you! My doctor recommended V8 juices along with Ensure shakes since I have Short Bowel Syndrome Disease.
I have a shit appetite and am on a serious medication that causes a lot of nausea I'm on chemo anti nausea drugs it's so bad. I drink carnation instant breakfasts and whole milk instead of ensure because those are so expensive I cant afford them. But I get 40 breakfasts for like 11 bucks and the milk is about that so 22 bucks for t he whole month.
I'm fairly certain you have the eight ingredients of V8 incorrect. I'm looking at a bottle right now. They are: tomatoes, carrots, celery, beets, parsley, lettuce, watercress, spinach. Sweet potatoes and purple carrots are in other "fruit" varieties of V8.
Reccomended daily sodium intake is 2300mg of sodium so you’re fine to have a can a day if you don’t have high blood pressure or elevated sodium levels.
Yahshua - you know Him as Jesus - was born to a virgin, turned water to wine, taught, healed the sick, raised the dead, casted out demons, walked on water, and calmed the storm, among many other things. He was killed, and three days later He rose from the dead. Forty days later He ascended into heaven where He sits at the right hand of the Father. He is returning very soon, but before He does, Satan, the devil, is coming to pretend to be Jesus. Satan is an angel, and he will have certain supernatural powers with which to try to fool everyone. He will, for example, be able to make fire come down from heaven in the sight of men. He will only be on earth a short time before the real King of Kings, Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, returns. When the real Jesus comes we will all be transformed into our spiritual bodies at the same moment. Jesus came to offer forgiveness of sins and eternal life to anyone who believes and calls on His precious name! ...the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God - Romans 3:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. - Romans 6:23 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. - John 3:16-18 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat. But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always. For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial. Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her. - Matthew 26:6-13 The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly. -- Zephaniah 1:14 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. -- Luke 9:56 the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. - Galatians 5:22-23 Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
This video honestly has a good script, concept, and info...but why does it have to be set to big room house and paired with random clips? I didn't realize we've collectively been reduced to this level of attention span yet but:
More and more studies are showing that sodium isn't nearly as bad for blood pressure as once thought. Basically sodium only raises blood pressure in people who have a sodium sensitivity.
I am so tired of people hating on V8. Yes, raw veggies are better. I am drinking it for pleasure and I know that. Get off my back! I chomp on boring raw veggies every day just like your high and mighty self. I just like to drink V8 for fun. What is so wrong with that? Also, a lot of these haters are drinking all kinds of weird supplements while theybare judging you for drinking juice. Like bro, some tomatoe juice ain't gonna kill you get over yourself. Your welcome.
Okay V8 people, grind it not only juice. will still buy it! You got to shake lots of stuff anyway before you use it, best would be a V8, no? And don't go putting a lot of water in it either. I personally like chunky juice. You should see my Bloody Mary mix LOL!
The recommended level of salt is ridiculously low. I would not hesitate about drinking V-8 based on its modest level of salt. Where does one think the acid needed to digest food comes from? A: the chloride in salt. And all cells in the body require sodium to operate. This is the kind of fundamental stuff that lead me to ignore doctors in my teens. Now I am a very healthy 73. 😀
Too much sodium in our body increases water retention and depletes the potassium levels. Potassium is very important and the body requires it in high levels. Eat an avocado a day and lots of cruciferous veggies
What is your favorite V8?
The original V8 is my favorite.
Spicy Hot 🔥.
Low sodium. Regular is WAY to salty..
Engine
The original is all I've ever had but I love it.
I'm a big V8 fan, especially the reduced salt* type.
*A teaspoon of lemon 🍋 juice brightens it up.👍
Can't stand the reduced salt version sadly.
They have had so many flavors over the years and lemon was one of them! I missed that one a lot. The black pepper one is also one I miss and, Of course because I liked it they pulled it back. Sigh
I thought i was the only one that put lemon
Why do humans crave things which are bad for us and dislike foods that are good for us. That's what I'd like to know.
Good to know. I’ll have to try that!
I absolutely love the “spicy” version. It tastes wonderful. The other day as I was buying a case at my local home improvement store, where it’s half the cost of the grocery store, a guy next to me said- “wow, that stuff must be good huh!” Me- “it’s fabulous.” As I loaded up my case I couldn’t help but notice that he had a bottle in his cart also.
The spicy is awesome in homemade chili!
At the Home Improvement store? Gonna try some v8
Oh, the spicy is the 💣!
The 'spicy' version is way better when enjoyed with a good brand of Vodka! ;-)
I like the regular version with two or three drops of Tabasco instead.
I drink between four and six cans of the original flavor every day and feel like it's one of my favorite ways of getting the good stuff that I might not get otherwise. Thank you for being a good guy and for making what the folks needed in an affordable way Mr. Peacock. Well done!

Good for American chop suey as well.

At least v8 helped you straighten up and not underwood.

Purple V8 was a slap when the adults got on their diet/no sugar kicks 😆
Lmao. Me too.

My wife and I make our own version of V-8 juice. Tomatoes, celery, beets, a small onion, carrots, green and yellow bell pepper, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, ground black pepper, sea salt.
I love it. It's perfect for a pick me up when my sugar is off.
V8-so smart with the little cans. Ice cold-first sip-Wow,I forgot how good!!! 2nd sip-ok,nice 3rd sip-hey,pretty good 4th sip...I'm about over it and guess what? It gone!
It have’s a great taste,we would drink a lot when I was small. I still drink V 8 today.
I love the original v8 juice, I've tried the low sodium version, but it isn't as good as the original. I've been drinking it for years, about 2 bottles per week.
That is a lot of salt and you might develop high blood pressure by consuming too much salt.
@@Chaoitcme I already have high BP, but my meds for it keep it normal. Every time my BP is tested it's normal. Sometimes I just crave the stuff. I should just drink half a bottle when I have it, but, I hate to drink it cold out of the fridge, so, I just drink it all.
And, still sometimes I crave it all anyway.
Not so much if you don’t gave any other salt.
@@kerrylynnparsons9441 Yeah, but EVERYTHING seems to have a ton of salt in it. Most things anyway.
Switch to low sodium and add some lemon pepper.. You won't miss the salt!
V8 fans, give this a try:
-Pour a tall glass of V8 Low Sodium (we are going to be adding salty stuff)
-Shake in a good amount of celery salt to boost the delicious celery taste. Alternatively you can rim the glass with it
-Grind in some fresh cracked black pepper
-Shake in some hot sauce. I prefer Tapatío but your favourite will work just as well. Cholula, Frank’s, Crystal, whatever you have on hand
-Shake in a few drops of Worcestershire sauce, preferably Lea & Perrins
-If desired, add a few capfuls of White Vinegar or Malt Vinegar
Stir well and enjoy! Let me know what you think!
it’s not the most inventive or original drink idea but it’s kinda like a virgin Bloody Mary. I hate liquor due to its awful taste and worse effects but that’s just me. Feel free to add vodka or your favourite tipple (mixing it with beer might be good for those who like beer and tomato juice) to make it a cocktail. I personally like it as a Mock-tail.
Enjoy!
I prefer the Low-Sodium V8, original recipe. I only add a wee bit of Tabasco and a shot of vodka to make it perfect!
Avid fan of the stuff. Once they partnered with Tabasco, my pantry needed more shelves. Aside from being an amazing beverage I use it regularly for cooking for it's unique flavor and versatility. I got a juicer for Christmas and then it was off to the races.
Everybody worried about the high salt in V8, I read somewhere that it isn't really, because of how it's made, the chemical structure in the juice itself, actually cuts the sodium amount
My 4 year old loves V8. When I get the six pack of cans for me I have to get her the pack of smaller cans so she doesn't drink all mine.
Regular V-8 does have quite a bit of salt but the Low-Sodium version is ok. I wonder if they take the fiber out on purpose. Only 3 grams of fiber per can is a lost opportunity. I am sure it is better eating the vegtables themselves, just like it is better eating fruit rather than fruit juice. When eating real fruit, fiber and pectin slows the passage of food through the intestinal GI tract, helps lower blood cholesterol.
I love all of the V8 juices! The strawberry 🍓 banana 🍌... It is so yummy 😋 and I like the original V8 juice...I like to add a pinch of salt right into the bottle. I don't care 4 the spicy hot v8's! I haven't tried the smoothie v8 juices yet. Perfect for a high boost for low potassium and magnesium/fiber levels...My levels are very low....So I really need the xtra ...I also have low sodium levels...In my opinion...I do believe it's very healthy and good for you! My doctor recommended V8 juices along with Ensure shakes since I have Short Bowel Syndrome Disease.
I have a shit appetite and am on a serious medication that causes a lot of nausea I'm on chemo anti nausea drugs it's so bad. I drink carnation instant breakfasts and whole milk instead of ensure because those are so expensive I cant afford them. But I get 40 breakfasts for like 11 bucks and the milk is about that so 22 bucks for t he whole month.
I love this with some texas pete 😍😍
I love the original V8. I've been drinking it since I was a kid. 🙂
I like it warmed up with black pepper.
I'm going to have to try that, especially since it's still cold and snowing here. I bet it's a comfort when you're under the weather too
Love V8.
Potassium is my reason for the low salt v8
Yes, I have to be careful as a kidney patient
we always made V9 I glass of V8 with an ounce or two Vodka. great way to start your day!
I put brewers yeast into my low sodium v8 ,it ferments and gives it a great healthy kick .
It's good stuff. A bit salty. I think I will keep the pepperidge farm layer cake thing going, a carrot here and there, coffee, you know the routine
I love V8 but hate thinly veiled advertisements under misleading titles.
I'm fairly certain you have the eight ingredients of V8 incorrect. I'm looking at a bottle right now. They are: tomatoes, carrots, celery, beets, parsley, lettuce, watercress, spinach. Sweet potatoes and purple carrots are in other "fruit" varieties of V8.
the high fiber v8 is excellent . i love the stuff .
Reccomended daily sodium intake is 2300mg of sodium so you’re fine to have a can a day if you don’t have high blood pressure or elevated sodium levels.
In a Bloody Mary I prefer only V-8 and vodka. Great drink.
Am I the only one who noticed thanos at 2:15
A V8 and a bologna sandwich is a square meal. Prove me wrong.
Yahshua - you know Him as Jesus - was born to a virgin, turned water to wine, taught, healed the sick, raised the dead, casted out demons, walked on water, and calmed the storm, among many other things. He was killed, and three days later He rose from the dead. Forty days later He ascended into heaven where He sits at the right hand of the Father. He is returning very soon, but before He does, Satan, the devil, is coming to pretend to be Jesus. Satan is an angel, and he will have certain supernatural powers with which to try to fool everyone. He will, for example, be able to make fire come down from heaven in the sight of men. He will only be on earth a short time before the real King of Kings, Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, returns. When the real Jesus comes we will all be transformed into our spiritual bodies at the same moment. Jesus came to offer forgiveness of sins and eternal life to anyone who believes and calls on His precious name!
...the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not
inherit the kingdom of God.
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God - Romans 3:23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. - Romans 6:23
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. - John 3:16-18
Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat. But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always. For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial. Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her. - Matthew 26:6-13
The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly. -- Zephaniah 1:14
For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. -- Luke 9:56
the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. - Galatians 5:22-23
Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
V-8 hot and spicy, little salt, pepper, room temp, not cold, LOVE IT!
Sugar in V-8??? NASTY!
Not sure why we had to know this. I thought we would be told our arm would fall off or something if we drank to much.
I love V8. I dont have time to chew a ton of vegetables or to cook them.
I hear ya
Celery, for when you just got to bite into some water, with hair.
This video honestly has a good script, concept, and info...but why does it have to be set to big room house and paired with random clips? I didn't realize we've collectively been reduced to this level of attention span yet but:
Mix with vodka for a healthy adult beverage
Highly recommend original V8 low sodium. You will not miss the extra sodium.
Most of us disagree. Low sodium is not good tasting.
@@timnoyb2431 I love it.
1 can of V8 with 17 taps of tapatio hot sauce is.. **chef's kiss** 🦸♂
Love V8. Mix in some cayenne pepper . . . YUM!!
I sprinkle cayenne pepper in my serving 1st thing in the morning.
I get a ton of energy!
More and more studies are showing that sodium isn't nearly as bad for blood pressure as once thought. Basically sodium only raises blood pressure in people who have a sodium sensitivity.
spicy v8 is the best thing ever
to me the cans have more flavor than the larger bottles
Go V8! Life saving idea! But I look for the less expensive versions.
I am so tired of people hating on V8. Yes, raw veggies are better. I am drinking it for pleasure and I know that. Get off my back! I chomp on boring raw veggies every day just like your high and mighty self. I just like to drink V8 for fun. What is so wrong with that?
Also, a lot of these haters are drinking all kinds of weird supplements while theybare judging you for drinking juice. Like bro, some tomatoe juice ain't gonna kill you get over yourself.
Your welcome.
In the Canadalands, we love it mixed with clam juice. Bring on the Caesar drinks with Clamato.
Very concise video!
I prefer natural carrot & orange juice
V-8 makes the best Bloody Mary's!
Mis info , ever see the lack of V-8 in grocery stores?......not because its good for you ....its Great!
👍With beer, it’s a “poor-man’s margarita”!
Does it taste good ?
Okay V8 people, grind it not only juice. will still buy it! You got to shake lots of stuff anyway before you use it, best would be a V8, no? And don't go putting a lot of water in it either. I personally like chunky juice. You should see my Bloody Mary mix LOL!
The recommended level of salt is ridiculously low. I would not hesitate about drinking V-8 based on its modest level of salt. Where does one think the acid needed to digest food comes from? A: the chloride in salt. And all cells in the body require sodium to operate. This is the kind of fundamental stuff that lead me to ignore doctors in my teens. Now I am a very healthy 73. 😀
indeed. the main reason for high salt levels in the blood is dehydration. That is farm more dangerous than the salt itself.
Too much sodium in our body increases water retention and depletes the potassium levels. Potassium is very important and the body requires it in high levels. Eat an avocado a day and lots of cruciferous veggies
Awesome video man 😎
Great for hangovers
