So after drinking a can of my superawesome spicy V8, I realized that the can says "100% vegetable juice", but there are ingredients other than vegetable juice in it, like ascorbic acid, salt, flavoring, and citric acid, but not in that order.

Reading "100% vegetable juice" makes me think that the contents of the can are 100% vegetable juice. Not 99% vegetable juice and 1% other stuff. This label is misleading.

Sure, it says "From concentrate with added ingredients", but then it's still not 100% vegetable juice. It's 100% vegetable juice with added ingredients", which is not what it seems they are trying to use as the selling point. They're trying to say that V8 is 100% vegetable juice.

Also, what is the deal with "flavoring"? What is it? I can't complain that it might exist in crazy quantities, because it's the next to last item on the list.

I think I'm going to have to email V8 and ask how it is that 100% vegetable juice is not 100% vegetable juice.

xD That is quite interesting...and misleading, yes. Why would they put "100% vegetable juice" if it, indeed, includes other ingredients that aren't...vegetable-ish?

It means the juice part of the drink comes from 100% vegetables, obviously.

Because EVERYBODY knows you can't get quality juice from those crazy veggie-fruit hybrids.

But if they put tomato juice in then they are definitely lying...

The brand sounds familiar though you should do that and maybe they'll send you a month worth of vegetable juice...

I think the reason they are allowed to say V8 is100% vegetable juice is because the other ingredients don't add to the liquidiness. Sort of like how cranberry juice is something like 35% cranberries and 65% sugar water, so it's 35% juice, but grape juice is 15% grapes, 35% pear, and 50% apple, so it's 100% juice.

lol I hate fake stuff. That's why I'm picky about what I eat and drink.

I like V9 better than V8.
