Even after all these years, do you still occasionally feel like you ‘could’ve had a V8’? It’s a classic advertising campaign that millions are familiar with. However, modern times require a bit more sophistication in communication and Campbell’s, makers of the vegetable and fruit juice blend, have done so by creating two new flavors to speak to more palates. The two new varieties of V8 V-Fusion vegetable and fruit juice are: Concord Grape Raspberry and Concord Grape Raspberry Light. See what Campbell Soup Company has to say about it after the jump.
Press release:
The Makers of V8® Juice Expand Line of V8 V-Fusion® Vegetable and Fruit Juices
New Varieties, More On-The-Go Options Make it Easier than Ever to Get Recommended Servings of Vegetables and Fruit
CAMDEN, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Nine out of 10 U.S. adults aren’t meeting the daily recommendations for vegetables and fruit – a fact reinforced by the recently released 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. But, starting this spring, Campbell Soup Company (NYSE:CPB), the maker of V8® juices, will help make it even easier for people to increase their daily servings with the introduction of two new varieties of its V8 V-Fusion® vegetable and fruit juice: Concord Grape Raspberry and Concord Grape Raspberry Light.
The flavors are a new twist on a classic family favorite – blending grape juice with the juice of apples, raspberries, sweet potatoes, carrots and other fruit and vegetable juices for a great-tasting grape taste – with a twist. Plus, each 8-ounce glass of V8 V-Fusion 100% juice provides one full serving of vegetables and one full serving of fruit. V8 V-Fusion Concord Grape Raspberry and Concord Grape Raspberry Light are available in 46-ounce bottles, and V8 V-Fusion Concord Grape Raspberry will be available in 8-ounce slim cans starting in July.
“We’ve been told since we were kids to eat our vegetables, but people still aren’t getting enough.†said Dale Clemiss, Vice President, Beverages, Campbell Soup Company. “V8 V-Fusion juices offer a delicious, convenient way to help people get the vegetable servings they need with the fruit taste they want in a range of varieties and sizes.â€
More Convenient Sizes to Enjoy Anytime
The company is also expanding the number of V8 V-Fusion juice varieties available in single-serving, 8-ounce slim cans to include Strawberry Banana Light and V8 V-Fusion® + Tea Raspberry Green Tea, making it even easier for people to enjoy drinking their vegetables and fruit at home, school, work or on-the-go.
Each 8-ounce glass of V8 V-Fusion® 100% juice provides a full serving of vegetables (1/2 cup) and a full serving of fruit (1/2 cup), while each 8-ounce glass of V8 V-Fusion Light juice and V8 V-Fusion + Tea beverage contains a combined ½ cup serving of vegetables and fruit.
