Never really considered drinking tomato juice straight. I hear though, that its very filling and a good thing to order if you're trying to stave off the munchies until you get to your destination. Sure, why not? I was handed a can of bloody mary mix. I guess it was, in a manner of speaking, accurate... :D (I actually prefer straight tomato juice, though.) |
Great product launched in the UK about 3 years ago - Big Tom, it's a spicy tomato juice cocktail drink (Bloody Mary without the Vodka and the overpowering worcester sauce that IMO which I personally don't care for)

I like salt a lot. Luckily I seem to be one of the 90+% of the population who does not suffer any ill affects from consuming it. :)
I usually drink a can of V8 everyday to be sure I get some added vegetables in my diet. Tomato juice would be an acceptable replacement, but I like the added flavors in V8. I will also drink Bloody Mary mix on flights...sometimes with or sometimes without vodka. :) Best regards, William R.

Tomato juice
I like tomato juice but the sodium level is too high for me. I used to be able to find "no salt added" tomato juice but it seems to have disappeared.
Now I usually order orange juice and vodka, if offered in flight. It does seem to fill a hole if one is still waiting for breakfast. |
Our family almost always drinks tomato juice and Ginger ale on flights. Don't know why though....we almost never drink either at home!?

I love V8 and always have tomato juice (no ice) on the plane. I just really like the stuff.

Vodka added for me, a traditional eye opener, while my wife prefers those nasty "Mimosas", about the only use for really cheap Bubbly and the quality of the OJ served by most airlines. |
Thought I'd add a link to an nice article describing the origins of clamato juice and the Caesar cocktail...

Another bloody mary mix flyer here. As previously noted, usually the entire can would be given whereas everyone else would be getting a splash of soda with a cup of ice. Although I have no sodium issues healthwise, at home I drink the low sodium V8 on a daily basis with a splash of jalapeno or some other hot sauce and a squirt of lemon or lime juice.

It's my standard beverage of choice on flights. A virgin bloody mary is my backup. One of my favorite cocktails is a Caesar which has clamato as the base, a shot of vodka, a dash of worcestershire sauce, a dash of tabasco sauce, and a typically a stick of celery (or a pickled bean) as a garnish in a salt rimmed glass. Love it! Particularly with a some horseradish. I make campechana on a regular basis, just in case campechana is a Mexican seafood cocktail I usually make with oysters, octopus, & shrimp along with cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, avocado. I usually simply use Clamato or V8 as the juice base. Bloody Mary's - though not so much anymore, just seems we keep drinking less & less alcohol. |

I wish I could get V8 here.... :( |
I love this stuff!
Not only is the low sodium recipe a bazillion times better for you but the flavor of the vegetables is much more pronounced. I love this stuff and drink it daily. ^

I have been drinking the low sodium V8 juice at home. I think it does have a better flavor than the regular high salt version. Sometimes I'll add a drop or two of hot sauce to spice it up. The only problem is that it's rarely on sale at the grocery store.
