OMG. I had a V8!

[Pax]

Yay for you!

V8 gives me wicked gas so I drink tomato juice instead.

[SadieKate]

Oh great. Thanks for the warning.

I can deal with the V8 only because I can knock back a small quantity fast. Tomato juice - not so much. Ewwwww.

Should I give an update in a few hours?

Sure, I'd like to know I'm not alone.

Um sorry. You will have to remain in the corner by yourself.

Well crud.

I've seen but didn't want to buy the large bottle due to my lack of friendship with tomato juice. Is it less tomato-ey? I love fresh tomatoes, but juiced it has to be in small quantities.

Nope, sorry. Still pretty tomato-ey. Similar to V8 infact, but IMO tastes less processed and has a bit more kick to it.

Can you substitute veggie soup for the vegetable juice cocktail? It seems like it would have the same benefits as long as it's not something like cream of potato soup or corn chowder. Just make a big batch and freeze into individual servings for the convenience factor. How about freezer friendly smooth gazpacho? Then toss in fresh chopped veggies when you eat if you like texture.

I have just one thing to add,

Clamato.

Not my personal fave, in fact, you can have all of mine.

Yumm!!!! Caesars!!! MUCH better than V-8 which I also enjoy. Yes, clam but it doesn't tasy fishy or clammy in the slightest.

Budweiser has a new beer with Clamato. No wonder they had to sell out. I like tomato juice but this stuff was disgusting. Tomato juice and beer. Who on earth thought of that?

I don't think I could get into cream soup of anything for breakfast! I could try pureeing gazpacho into something drinkable. Much as I love it, not sure I want it for breakfast but it's a thought.

What is clamato? I've heard of it but never had it. Clam and tomato juices? Um . . . . .

Seems the Knudsens stuff may be the easiest route -- and I'm lazy.

I make DBF go and brush his teeth when he's bought himself a bottle of tomato juice on a weekend and indulges in (virgin or not) bloody marys. Only then I will kiss him again.

DETEST HATE YUCK at the taste of cooked tomato juice.
Now Gazpacho.....

[Pedal_On55]

I can't stand regular V8, I like V8 splash.
