So we all know the V8 commercials, right? The moral is, if you don’t eat your vegetables you get bonked in the head. “Coulda had a V8″
Well, the new commercial is for V8 Splash. This is where one guy repeatedly chooses meats over vegetables and proceeds to get smacked in the head each time by his wife. He says “you can keep doing that, I still don’t like vegetables.”
I agree! Ok so I don’t mind vegetables but I certainly don’t want to drink them. No tomato juice for me. But this commercial says “try the new V8 splash, it’s one serving vegetable, one serving fruit, but all the taste of a refreshing fruit drink.”
No way. You can’t put tomatoes in a drink and tell me it tastes like strawberries, but hey, your advert worked. I’ll purchase the drink.
SUCCESS. The drink is so refreshing and good. And it’s oh so filling too. They are right, no vegetable taste at all.
So now I notice that they sell individual portions in convenience stores and market places, etc.
A few days ago, I purchased the blueberry/pomegranate flavour. I only had a choice between that and strawberry/banana and I just wasn’t in that kind of mood. The price came to $1.84.
Today I noticed another fridge in the same store but on the opposite side. This too had V8 Splash drinks but different flavours. There’s ‘berry blend’ and mango. This is more my style so I purchase one. It came to $2.
I’m trying to figure out why there was a price difference. This explains why the drink flavours were segregated. BAH nothing makes sense anymore. I don’t blame V8 – in fact, I recommend it to everyone who likes fruit juice.
I’m just tired of being scammed… Even the Market Place seems to be in on the fraudulent money making scam.
Looking at the bottles more closely, I see that one flavour is V8-Fusion, the other is V8-Splash. Now maybe V8 can explain to me what the difference is, aside from $0.16.
