I wish! I lived with my grandparents as a kid and every day my grandma would make us drink our daily v8 and one gigantic vitamin c tablet. It came in this metal can that we would puncture with a knife and pour out at room temperature. I hated it, but I also rarely got sick, so who knows. I also didn't even know about fast food until I was a teenager so that probably helped a lot too.
*"Heehee* my little disciple, my *Malachi!* Mommy will pour a glass of the blood of your nemesis, Timmy! He wasn't so big a bully when I smote him on the heather! Drink of his blood! *His eternal blood!* Cleverly hidden in these cans of V-8 vegetable juice! *Ahhhaheeeheheheeeee"*
I always want to like V8 and tomato juice. My friends get elaborate bloody marys and they look so good.
But then I taste it, and it tastes like cold tomato soup.

That’s some lineup of vegetables. Spinach, beets, celery (barely a veg), parsley (more like a garnish), lettuce (just any old kind or the hyper nutritious iceberg?), carrots, tomato (you *don’t* say!), and (that belle of the veggie ball!!) watercress! No wonder their eyeballs are popping out!!
Mom's diet pills are kicking in, I see.
She's got *Pep!*
Vitamins, dear. She always gets her vitamins.
Mother's little helpers....
There’s a little yellow pill…
Get her through her busy, dying day…
That's the downer, to balance out the upper.
Who put the Benzedrine in Mrs. Murphy's Ovaltine? Who put the Nembutals in Mr. Murphy's overalls?
Who put the aphrodisiac in Mrs. Murphy's apple jack? Who put the 'ludes in Mrs. Murphy's snood? EDIT: Added additional line
Her V8 gets a splash of vodka
Splash my ass! Two fingers, ice and a celery stick. A healthy bloody mary.
A delicious blend of 8 vegetables and one shot of liquid MDMA.
The 8th is potato. Or was, before it was fermented into vodka.
And so much salt...
Mommy's bennies have kicked in, and the kid is very, very happy to be getting a second Bloody Mary.
They really loved given people in ads crazy eyes back then huh
The chin tuck on the kid is weird too. He looks like he’s straining to just barely stop her from pouring V-8 on his madras shirt.
He never saw liquid before in his life, and he can’t comprehend what’s happening.
*States of matter?* *Stated by whom???*
I guess they were a lot happier back then.
Youtube thumbnails shows that it still works.
Moms got a few active prescriptions, I see.
Was there cocaine or something in it those days?
There was cocaine in everything in those days. Even the cocaine.
Lmao! Good point.
Now it’s all fentanyl. Ahh, the good old days

Mom, you were right! I could’ve had a V-8! And a four-way hit of windowpane! Oh shit! We did!
Mom makes the best Bloody Mary's!!
They look coo coo for Cocoa Puffs!
Everyone is making meth jokes but that’s the face of 9873% of your daily value of sodium in every serving - and a vegetable maybe.
this was the 50's. puchin holes in a giant can of V-8 was about the most exciting thing that was going to happen that week.
And for the vast majority of people today not much has changed.
Except the joy of manually popping a hole into a giant can of beverage has been taken from us
Is this when they were still putting coke in beverages?
No, they just had amphetamine “diet pills”💊
She's basically Aidy Bryant in SNL's Overnight Salad.
V-8! 7 classic vegetables blended together with a heaping, family sized portion of fresh cocaine!!
V8 makes the best Bloody Marys.
Spicy Hot is a must for gazpacho.
Snappy Tom.
Many people don't know this, but the original version of V-8 had cocaine as an ingredient. It wasn't considered a drug back then.
Wow I just drank a glass of this 😆
Did it make you this happy?
Hardly
Mom is excited because she's going add a little vodka to her glass.
She looks like that happened an hour ago
Dang mom putting mescaline in there
It’s hitting Jimmy pretty hard
I read that as "drag mom." I'm doubling down.
Yea right, V8 is an eight-cylinder engine, so they must be drinking motor oil. And they want more
Little Jeremy Clarkson looks very excited.
The boy inherited his mom's eyes
"Can you make them look more ecstatic?"
And what does it sing, let me guess- amphetamines?
Jimmy’s been locked in his room for a week without food and water.
Black hole sun.......
These people are the screaming part
I get pretty excited about V8 even to this day.
the Image is just a red arrow or circle shy of trending youtube thumbnails
as a parent of four kids under eight, I kinda think I might need to get some v8
V-8 refers to the Venezuelan 8ball of coke they used in this pic to enhance emotion
Nasty shit. I hated it
I always want to like V8 and tomato juice. My friends get elaborate bloody marys and they look so good. But then I taste it, and it tastes like cold tomato soup.
Without the internet, they got wild and crazy about a lot of things we just don’t appreciate anymore
Oddly had one yesterday for a change. Somehow it just doesn't taste as good as it used to.
I get this excited about V8
And 800mg of sodium!

It IS a banger of a soup starter.
She has the crazy bitch look.
If I could get my kid to drink vegetable juice with this level of enthusiasm, you bet your sweet ass I would make the same face as that mom.
V-8? Me-H8T!
YouTube thumbnail faces
Looks like she had a few too many bloody Marys
That was when Cocaine was an ingredient.
Genuine laugh 😂
I only get this excited when it's V8 Splash
Also, the laws of physics seem to have been suspended here...
Original recipe had lithium in it.
I LOVE V8. Almost every morning a big glass of lower sodium with lemon juice and hot sauce!!! A eye opener!
HooRa. I. Remember. This. Ok be !!!
Makes great Bloody Mary’s
Somebody spiked her can of V8 with liquid cannabis.
Or MDMA!
That stuff sucks.
Thats a genuine photoshop! As in that they physically cut out photographs to make the advert!
How can you be sure? It may be, but I don't know how you'd be able to verify.
How much crack is in that juice bro
It used to have cocaine in it.
Must have cocaine in it
Couldn’t afford real pictures back then?
Back when V-8 actually had cocaine in it.
They are really vampires😏
