In the juice aisle at one of his regular supermarkets, Mr. Tidbit recently stumbled upon several new V8 products.

Unlike some other V8s, such as Splash and Fusion, there doesn't seem to be a name for this line, but the V8 website's descriptions suggest its use as an innovative bar mixer.

There's Mint & Lime V8 (a Bloody Mojito is suggested), Sea Salt & Clam V8 (Bloody Caesar or Michelada) and Spicy Mango V8 (Mango Margarita).

To clarify, each of these beverages is an additionally flavored V8-style blend of vegetable juices.

Spicy Mango, for example, is water, concentrated juices of tomatoes and sweet potatoes, salt, natural flavors, the usual this-and-that, and mango puree and habanero pepper puree. It is 75 percent juice.

Also new, but with a different label design, is V8 Bloody Mary Mix. Under "Bloody Mary Mix" is the bannered word "Original," suggesting there could soon be other flavors of V8 Bloody Mary Mix.
