That Sexy Red Drink

This is a sponsored review by BlogHer and V8 V-Fusion + Tea.

When I was a little girl, I watched my mom dip into a sinfully looking thick red juice, that looked as exotic as the bright red lipstick she wore occasionally on the nights she went out to “paint the town red” with my dad.

“It’s tomato juice,” she said. “Here you might like it. I like to sprinkle pepper on mine.”

And with that, I took a swig, and was immediately hooked. I loved the taste of tomato juice, with pepper; I often look back on that moment at marvel at the simplicity of getting a kid to like a drink that is so healthy. I wonder what my mom did right, and where do I go wrong with my boys – not one of them would ever touch that stuff.

It didn’t take long before I migrated over to V8 juice, same great taste of tomato juice, but with the added benefit of not just tomatoes, but carrots, celery, beets, parsley, lettuce, watercress and spinach. (That’s 8 veggies, if you’re counting.)

But now, the people at Campbell’s have really rocked the vegetable world with their new V8 V-Fusion drinks. Each one, and there are three flavors, containing the exotic veggies you would find on a Saturday morning stroll through the farmer’s market, including sweet potatoes, purple carrots, yellow tomatoes – and a variety of fruits, depending on the flavor you choose. The addition of green tree gives V8 V-Fusion the antioxidant benefits of Green Tea. Check out the flavors and nutritional benefits on the V8 page here.

  2. When I was about 9 I had my first glass of V8. I can’t say I loved it. I know that now they have V8 varieties that have vegetable but taste like fruit, which kids like better.

  3. I’d like to try the Pomegranate!

  4. I love V8! I love the strawberry banana juice,these new ones look tasty too

  6. My first experience with juice was a lot like yours. I was flying with my parents and my Dad ordered tomato juice from the flight attendant (except we called them stewardesses back then!) It looked so rich and delicious compared to the other things people were having, so I tried it. Now, every single time I fly, I always have tomato juice or V8, if they have it on board.

  7. I would love the pineapple flavour.

  8. My first experience with vegetable juice was when I was a pretty young child. It was the original V8 and I couldn’t stand it. :)

  49. I remember trying tomato juice for the first time when I was 4 or 5. I loved it and still drink it today.

  50. Love V8 , can’t wait to try these new varieties. Just wish they didn’t have artificial sugar in them.

  51. I tried tomato juice as a child and didn’t like it. I did try V8 Fusion and absolutely love it so that is what I drink now it has fruits and veggies.

  72. I think the Pineapple Mango one sounds great – I love BOTH flavors!

  81. My first try of vegetable juice {and yes, it was V8} was when I was about 10. My grandma had it in her fridge and I was really thirsty. She didn’t think that I would like it…but let me try it anyway. I LOVED it! I still do to this day. My son likes the newer V8 Fusion and he is only 3!

  82. I want to try the Pineapple Mango…sounds good!

  83. My first experience would have been with tomato juice – and to this day, I still don’t like it!

  85. I like their tropical orange the best. Thanks! thebubbledies(at)gmail(dot)com

  86. thanks for the giveaway. I can’t say that I love the Original V8, but I do like the V8 Fusion drinks!

  87. My first memories of drinking V8 were at my grandmother’s house. We always had it with breakfast.

  88. My dad used to drink it all the time.

  89. My first experience with vegetable juice was with an original V8 and I love veggies so I did love it too. Adding fruit even makes them better, love the new ones! Thank you!

  90. I’m too old to remember my very first experience. :) But I remember my very first Bloody Mary! And I’ve been hooked on them ever since! V8 Spicy makes a darn good Bloody Mary mix!

  91. My first experience with veggie drinks was a horrible one :) I was in 2nd grade at the time, and mom had replaced what was my usual Hi-C drink with some bizarre V-8 thing. I tried to trade it away as best I could to the other kids, but meh ;/ No luck/ Now they’re deliciously gorgeous :D

  92. I like the spicy

  106. I like any fusion drink with the green tea in.

  107. I;ve never tried V8-it always seemed weird.

  108. I tried V8 for the first time this year to help out with my IBS.

  109. my nephews love V8 Fusion especially the pomegranate blueberry.

  110. First remembered experience with vegetable juice was an enjoyable little glass of homemade tomato juice topped with a light sprinkling of salt and pepper.

  111. oh la la love you image of the tea. I want to try the pomegrante blueberry, it sounds delicious!

    thank you for the opportunity! :) *

  112. I’d love to try the Raspberry!

  113. Ugh, my first experience was the original V8, when I was a kid I tasted one of my dad’s favorite concoctions….crumbled up cornbread mixed with chopped raw onions and soaked with V8 juice….it was a little strong for my young tastebuds, lol. I do love the orange one now, I drink it all the time!

  114. I would like to try the Pineapple Mango Fusion

  115. I’ve always liked vegetable juice even when I was a kid. I guess my mom put something magic to blend together.

  118. The first time I tried V8 I wasn’t sure if I liked it or not. It took a couple more times before I was drinking it instead of regular fruit juice.
    Now my husband and kids drink it too.

  119. My first encounter with a vegetable juice was a Bloody-Mary type of drink. I had a little trepidation at first, but it ended up being yummy good. :)

  121. I’d love to try the pomegranate, but the pineapple is intriguing too!

  122. fun giveaway, thanks for the chance. i like the strawberry/banana juice

  123. My first experience was probably when I was flying – loved it! Now, I’d like to try the Raspberry!

  124. I never liked V8 juice. But a few years ago, I wanted to start eating more healthfully and decided to try it again. At first, I hated it and had to just shotgun the whole glass like medicine. But I kept at it every day and gradually, I came to like it. Now I can sip a glass of it with breakfast and actually enjoy it.

  125. I would try the raspberry one. I love the flavor of fresh raspberries and I usually love V8

  126. I remember accidentally tasting my dad’s tomato juice as a teen and didn’t like it but as I got older I retried it and started to like it!

  127. I did not like vegetable juice at all when I was younger. Then in my 20′s I discovered Bloody Marys and my opinion changed–now no more Bloody Marys but I enjoy V8 as a healthy snack between meals.

  133. The Pineapple Mango Tea looks good to me.

  134. I don’t like vegetable juices, but I love V8

  135. I like the fruit fusions because they are not too sweet. Drink lots of green tea so I can’t wait to try the pineapple mango + tea.

  136. I always wanted to try the pomegranate, but the name didnt even sound good, then one day I tried it and WOW, it is now my favorite drink!

  137. I wish they’d make a variety with black tea!

  140. Pomegranate for sure for me!
    My husband loves the traditional V-8 vegetable juice!!!! He drinks it EVERY day!

  141. For some reason, as a kid I always chose to drink vegetable juice whenever I flew. I’ve always liked it and I’m excited to try this new V8.

  142. Hmmm my first one was trying tomato juice and I REALLY hated it. (Don’t like tomatoes.) Just looking at it makes me gag. The first juice with veggies in it I tried and liked was probably a V-Fusion juice! (The regular, not the tea.) My fave is the peach mango one.

  143. blogged

  144. V8 varieties are always present in my refrigerator.

  145. I would love the Pomegranate Green Tea…two healthy things together!

  146. I do not like regular V-8 but the V-8 Strawberry Banana is really good! I’d probably also love the Pomegranate Green Tea as well!

  147. I have tried a few of the V8 fusions and found them to be a little too flavorful for me. I am looking foward to trying the new teas, would like to try both the raspberry and pomegrante!

  148. The raspberry variety sounds amazing!

    p.s. love how you describe V8 tomato juice…my mom used to drink it and it did seem very exotic and grown up, like a veggie cocktail! ;)

  149. My first vegetable juice was carrot juice. I still love it!

  150. I drank V-8 all the time as a kid. Mom said it was good for me but I just liked it. Still do!

  151. I’d love to try the Pomegranate + Green Tea!

  163. I liked the original V8 juice, but only if it was really cold – otherwise it tasted too thick to me. These new drinks sound really tasty.

  181. When I was little, my grandfather would drink tomato juice all the time with lots of pepper. I never did like straight tomato juice myself but when my kids were little I always bought V8 just because it’s so much healthier than than sugary juices.

  201. I love the addition of green tea to the already fabulous V8 Fusion family of juices. The V-8 VFusion Raspberry Green Tea is delicious.

  203. Mmm! The V8 V-Fusion drink looks delicious! Please consider me entered! Thanks for the contest! codisweepstakes2 (@) gmail(dot)com

  204. I have never tasted veggie juice to be honest. I have only had the ones that have a bunch of fruit juice added to be sure it tastes fruity and not veggie! hahahaha I would love to try the new pomegranate green tea flavor though!

  205. I tweeted here: https://twitter.com/#!/FotoMacro/status/12519122222981121

  206. I’ve always liked the original V8 veggie juice. I also like the low sodium variety. I can’t remember when I first tasted it…it was when I was a wee kid…LOL

  210. I can’t actually say that I’ve had vegetable juice… but the Pineapple Mango flavor sounds delicious–I’d love to try that!

  211. My mother loves tomato juice and she always used to drink it when I was little. Since I thought everything that my mom did was amazing, I also thought drinking V8 was also amazing! But truthfully, I’m not a fan of straight veggie juice….much prefer those blended with fruit.

  212. Never been a big fan of vegetable juice, but adding carrots along with apples and oranges in our juices adds a good taste and more nutrition

  213. Throughout the years, I have enjoyed the original V-8 juice.
    I would like to try some of the new flavors.

  214. I tried V-8 as a kid and I did not really enjoy it then. I really like the fruit juice flavors that they make now. Looking forward to trying some more of the new ones.

  215. Awesome blog and thanks for the giveaway!
    Would love, love, LOVE to win this!
    Happy holidays!

  216. When I was a little kid, my dad used to drink V8. He let me try a sip and I thought it was disgusting. When I got a older, I tried it again and found out that I loved it. :D

  217. I remember trying vegetable juice as a kid and not really liking it. But I loved the commercials and would go around saying “I coulda had a V8!”

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  219. As odd as it sounds, even as a small kiddo I lovedddd tomato juice!!

  220. I think the pineapple mango would be wonderful!

  221. My first experience with V8 was when my mother cooking her pot roast in it.

    It’s one of the only things my mother did that I repeat, so that must speak loudly!

  223. I don’t remember EXACTLY when I tried V8 for the first time, but I know I was a Pre-Teen. Obviously, I LOVED it because I still drink it today! It’s also GREAT as a base for soups/ or chili!

    Funny, I too have to sprinkle some Pepper on it… Strange, but it really is GREAT that way!

    Hope you have a good week and thanks! greimanjATcomcastDOTnet

  224. My first veggie drink was V8 tomato juice and honestly, hated it. I’ve never tried it again, but had recently tried the pineapple/mango juice…. definately improved my opinion of veggie juice!

  225. Pom Green Tea sounds great

  226. http://twitter.com/dddiva/status/12983459274301441

  227. My MIL used to make “tomato soup” that was basically V8 and water. Not the greatest intro to it!

  228. actually v8 was my first veggie drink, and still drink it today

  229. My grandma would make veggie juice for me when I was a young child. I have always liked it.

  230. I love V8 Splash so I look forward to trying these. They sound so good.

  231. I remember my Grandma always drinking it and I asked to try some once. As a child I did not like it! :)

  233. This looks really refreshing and healthy to drink.

  234. I actually got to try the Pineapple Mango V-Fusion +Tea, and it was definitely my favorite V8 juice. Thanks!

  235. I’m not a big tomato juice fan – in fact I think I’ve had it maybe five times in my entire life, however, I do love the V8 juices that mix all the veggie and fruit juices. I’d really like to try the new Pomegranate +tea flavor.

  236. I’ve loved vegetable juice since the first time I tried it! I think my first veggie drink was a V8…. etara1 at aol dot com.

  241. Mom used to try to give us Tomato Juice as a kid. I hated it.

  242. Yummy…Raspberry sounds yummy.

  243. I did NOT like V8 as a kid, and the first time I tried it I wasn’t allowed to leave the dinner table until I finished the small glass I had. I think I was there for more than a few hours, ha ha…. But now that they have these great varieties, I really like drinking vegetable juice. Thanks!

  244. I love V8, and would like to try the Pomegranate green tea.

  245. That looks so good! I’d love to try the pomegranate flavor.

  246. I have to say that I haven’t been a fan of vegetable juice, but I could give these new varieties a try!

  247. I don’t remember my first taste of V8, but I know that was the first vegetable juice I ever tried. I think it was probably the only one made back then.

  248. I’ve tried the different kinds of juice, but I dislike the taste of tomatoes. I like the Pineapple Mango Green Tea. Thanks for the contest.

  251. These look delicious!

  252. Would LOVE to win this. THANK YOU!!

  253. hi

  254. I haven’t tried the fusions but I did drink some V8 fruit juices a few years back. I don’t know why I stopped drinking them?

  255. I love the Raspberry Fusion. It’s so good and I drink it a couple time a week!

    msjem2001 at yahoo dot com

  256. The raspberry sounds delicious

  258. My first experience with vegetable juice was Tomato juice. I loved itr and drank it everyday all day for 2 days straight. Only to find out that I was allergic when I woke up with hives on the 3rd day. I can now drink it in moderation, but stick to mixed fruit drinks like V-8 fusions for the most part. Straight up Tomato juice has too much Citric acid for me

  259. I tweeted http://twitter.com/#!/eyzofblu63/status/13271594814144513

  260. My first time I thought it was disgusting…I ordered a bloody mary and didn’t enjoy it at all.

  261. I would love to try the Pomegranate!

  262. Raspberry looks inviting!

  263. I tweeted here: http://twitter.com/dresdenrain/status/13287725520130048

  264. Thank you for hosting this super giveaway and thank V8 for sponsoring it! :-)

  265. My first experience was in college with it mixed in a bloody mary cocktail,. I loved the v-8 spicy but not the vodka so now I just get the v-8 spicy alone.

  266. My first experience with drinking a vegetable drink was not good, I’m not gonna lie! It was disgusting! However, since V8 has come out with these awesome new blends, now I can have a V8!

  267. I want to try the new flavors , got have my V8

  268. This sounds good, but I haven’t tried it yet. I think the pineapple mango sounds best.

  269. The Raspberry and Green Tea sounds light and refreshing – I though the V8 V-Fusion varieties were already tasty and nutritious, but the addition of tea just takes them to a whole new level. Thanks!

  270. I tweeted: http://twitter.com/guettel78/status/13333475985727488

  271. My mom never bought vegetable juice, so my first experience was after I left home. I bought some V-8 as part of a recommended diet in some magazine and loved it. It’s still one of my favorite drinks.

  272. I’d like to try pomegranate green tea.

  273. I would love to try them they look yummy!

  274. I don’t know how old I was when I first tried it but I’ve always loved V8 since I was a kid

  275. sounds delicious, I plan on trying them.

  276. I love the Diet V8 Splash Tropical Blend flavor – Yum! But i would love to try the new pomegranate flavor!

  277. As a kid, my Grandma made me drink vegetable juice.

  278. Thanks for the giveaway…my Mom used to make carrot juice when we were kids…it wasn’t too good; now we we drink the original & the Fusion/Pomegranate Blueberry; eager to try the Raspberry Green Tea.

  279. I grew up on a farm and my mom always canned tomatoes and made tomato juice. In fact, when my friends and I would go out for lunch and they ordered soft drinks I would usually get tomato juice. It’s still one of my favorite drinks.

    Thanks!

  281. My first experience with veggie juice was on a flight to London and I had a craving for Tomato Juice. They gave us V8 and I had about 4 of them. Been hooked ever since! They’re so delicious.

  283. My parents would serve us V-8 when I was a kid and I loved it! At least three of my four kids also like the original V-8 juice. All of my kids are eager to try the variety of flavors offered now. We have some V-8 Splash in the fridge now.
    Thanks for the giveaway.
