Why is it called V8?

Since 1948, the brand has been owned by the Campbell Soup Company. The original V8 vegetable juice was tomato-based and got its name from the fact that it contained juice from eight different vegetables.

V8 Vegetable Juice V8 juices exhibited at a store in Hong Kong Product type Vegetable juice Owner Campbell's Country United States Introduced 1933 ; 90 years ago ( ) Markets North America, U.K., Australia Website v8juice .co .uk V8 Vegetable Juice, sometimes referred to as V8, is a trademarked name for a number of beverage products sold worldwide that are made from eight vegetables, or a mixture of vegetables and fruits. Since 1948, the brand has been owned by the Campbell Soup Company.[1] The original V8 vegetable juice was tomato-based and got its name from the fact that it contained juice from eight different vegetables.[2]

V8 vegetable juice [ edit ]

The original V8 is a savory juice. It is made mainly from water and tomato concentrate, and reconstituted vegetable juice blend: water and concentrate of eight vegetables, specifically: beets, celery, carrots, lettuce, parsley, watercress, spinach, and tomato.[3] Tomato juice makes up around 87% of the total drink.[4] Campbell's has produced several varieties of the drink, such as Original, Spicy Hot, Hint of Black Pepper, Lemon, Picante, Low-Sodium, and Organic.[5] Three spin-offs of the V8 brand, "V8 Energy," "V8 Splash" and "V8 V•Fusion,", are blends of fruit and vegetable (specifically carrot) juices. V8 Splash is a juice cocktail partially sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup and sucralose; diet versions of V8 Splash omit the high-fructose corn syrup. V8 Energy also classifies as a cocktail and is partially sweetened with sucralose. V•Fusion is made from 100% juice.

History [ edit ]

V8 Vegetable Juice was developed by Frank Constable of Chicago, Illinois, who worked as a contractor for W.G. Peacock (1896–1948), the founder of the New England Products Company, which manufactured individual vegetable juices under the brand name Vege-min and, in the 1930s, a combination labelled Vege-min 8.[6] Frank Constable devised a particular formula for the brand and this blend - launched in 1947 as V8 Vegetable Cocktail Juice - has endured. The product was named by Constable after the V8 engine, the most powerful at the time. In 1948, the Campbell Soup Company acquired the brand from the Charles Loudon Packing Company in Terre Haute, Indiana, and has maintained continuous production of the beverage through the present day.[7]

Derivative beverages [ edit ]

A few cocktail drinks use V8, most famously the "bloody eight" or "eight ball", which is a Bloody Mary with V8 instead of tomato juice.[8] Clamato, with a taste profile more savory than V8, is also common in variations. V8 also markets a Bloody Mary Mix under its vegetable juice line. The composition is more traditional, using only tomato and lemon juices.[5]
