V8 Original: This classic version is made from a blend of eight vegetables, including tomatoes, carrots, celery, beets, parsley, lettuce, watercress, and spinach. It has a well-balanced, savory tomato flavor.

Since its creation in 1933, V8 has been “The Original Plant-Powered Drink.” Here are 7 things you didn't know about V8: W.G. Peacock and his son created V8 in Evanston, Illinois after perfecting the blended vegetable drink in 1933. Their goal was to bring delicious, affordable vegetable nutrition to all.

V8 juice was then bought by the Campbell Soup Company – a deal which included a manufacturing plant in Napoleon, Ohio, which is still used today.

The iconic “should've had a V8” slogan was introduced in the 1970s, after a 1960s tagline “Wow, it sure doesn't taste like tomato juice,” was put to bed. Fortunately that idea had enough legs to be, uh, borrowed in 1981 for “I can't believe it's not butter.”

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.

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).

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.
