Is V8 really 100% vegetable juice?

Question

How could it be seeing that tomatoes are actually a fruit?

Answer 1

Ahha! You are so very smart! I never thought of that before. Good point. So it can't be 100% veggie juice. You know I plan on using this idea tomorrow. Don't worry, I'll credit you.

Answer 2

Yes it is if you consider tomatoes veggies.
Botanically speaking, a tomato is the ovary, together with its seeds, of a flowering plant, that is a fruit or, more precisely, a berry. However, from a culinary perspective, the tomato is not as sweet as those foodstuffs usually called fruits and it is typically served as part of a main course of a meal, as are other vegetables, rather than at dessert. The term "vegetable" has no botanical meaning and is purely a culinary term

[edit] V8 Vegetable Juice
The original V8 Vegetable Juice is made mainly from tomatoes and the juices from seven additional vegetables, specifically: beets, celery, carrots, lettuce, parsley, watercress, and spinach. Tomato juice dominates the formula. Campbell's makes several varieties of the drink, such as Original, Spicy, Lemon, Picante, and Low-Sodium.

Two spinoffs of the V8 brand, V8 Splash, and V8 V.Fusion, are blends of fruit and vegetable (specifically carrot) juices. V8 Splash is sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup or Splenda, while V.Fusion is made from 100% juice and contains a daily serving of both fruits and vegetables per glass.


[edit] History
V8 Vegetable Juice was invented by W.G. Peacock, the founder of the New England Products Company, which manufactured individual vegetable juices under the brand name Vege-min. Having had only mediocre sales success, in 1933 Peacock began blending the Vege-min juices into one product and selling this new concoction as "Vege-min 8." A grocer in Evanston, Illinois recommended that he shorten the name to simply "V-8."

The new V-8 was a success, and in 1948 the Campbell Soup Company acquired the brand. It has been in continuous production since.


[edit] Deviations
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.
