V8, the iconic vegetable juice, has a captivating origin story that dates back to the heart of the Great Depression. Its journey began as a product under the name Vege-min, in 1933, when it was crafted by a man named Frank Constable.

In 1947, the recipe using eight vegetables that we enjoy today was settled on. It was rebranded Vege-min 8, and then V8 Vegetable Cocktail Juice. Constable declared that the juice was named after the V8 engine, which was the most powerful at the time.

With a short and mostly recognizable ingredient list, V8 juice is a healthy option, says Crumble Smith, but it doesn't come anywhere close to eating real whole fruits and vegetables. “Unless you're getting the low sodium (V8), there's a ton of sodium in that,” Crumble Smith says.

Advantages of a V8 engine V8 engines generally have more torque although, the difference can be minimal in some models. The power of eight cylinders allows for heavier hauls and higher towing capacity. More power also means quicker acceleration and speed.

Because of these ingredients, V8 is considered an excellent source of vitamins A and C. Low-sodium V8 is also an excellent source of potassium, as potassium chloride is added. An 8-ounce glass has only 45 calories and 8 grams of carbohydrate (if you subtract the 1 gram of fiber).

There is a myriad of benefits associated with the V8 original drink, with one being that there isn't as much sugar as there typically is in many other juices on the market. "I love that there is no added sugar in this vegetable juice," Brod says. Additionally, the ingredients in the drink are beneficial as well.

In general, there are two types of V8 engines, and the difference lies in the crankshaft design and the dynamic changes that makes to the engine. The two basic designs are the Cross-Plane crankshaft and the Flat-Plane crankshaft.

Typically, US cars in the past had 2 engine versions: the inline 6 and the V8. Why were V8 engines more popular in American cars than in non-American cars? The majority of US cars use V8 and inline-6 engines because the distances between cities or interstates are great, necessitating a large-powered vehicle.
