Talk:V8 (drink)

message: Does anybody know if the UK ingredient list for V8 Fusion is the same as that found (and posted) in the US?  Prior comment seemed to indicate that carrots were the only vegetable in Peach and Mango, yet carrots aren't even found in the ingredients list.  JCoug 13:33, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: V8 Fusion vs. UK 100% veggie & fruit drink

message: The original V8 juice list of ingredients includes sugar. Is this added table sugar or naturally occuring sugar like in tomatoes and other fruits and vegetables?Jlujan69 22:29, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, they have the ingredients listed here and sugar isn't listed.  Is it one of the V8 Splash products you're thinking of? They do have "high fructose corn syrup", which isn't natural—it's added to make the drinks sweeter. — Frecklefoot | Talk 16:04, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Could this be V8? And if so, shouldn't be added to the links section?

On the face of the can is the V8 logo, amidst a collection of produce.  Immediately recognizable images include tomatoes, carrots, celery, and a beet.  Beneath the logo, this text appears:

replies: text: Well, a "fruit" can be any thing a plant produces in a way. Like my roses, for instance, have "fruit" just as my cucumber vines have "fruit". Eating a plant is considered eating vegetation. So, that's just plain confusing, yes? Making stranger is a watermelon, considered a "fruit" is actually a gourd or cucumber variation, which those are vegetables. So, it's all tornaydo tornahdo. (That's a joke, by the way.) Anyways, I've heard  about the World War II V8 thing back in the 1980s. It was never "renamed" from the story I heard, just it was missing beets or something (I can't remember anymore than the next person), and hopefully a World War II vet who has knowledge, ability to work a computer and Internet, and the ability to surf to this Wikipedia discussion page can shed some light on the subject.
