CANNOT, WILL NOT LIVE WITHOUT MY V8
Flavor Name: Peach Mango
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 24)
I started drinking my beloved peach mango V8 energy when I began first year of law school in 2016. I have since drank a MINIMUM of 3 cans every day (sometimes many, many more - which I'm not sure I'd advise as that is just far too much caffeine for anyone, but I give advice much better than I head it
myself) since that first sip touched my lips and its gentle, yet powerful caffeination coursed thru my veins. This is truly a love story. I've always consumed copious amounts of caffeine. It began with soda, but once I got to college, coffee certainly seemed like a more efficient way to consume as many milligrams as possible. Don't get me wrong, I love coffee. There are few things better than sitting on my balcony with a hot cup of coffee first thing in the morning to start me off right before heading to work. But I also suffer from some pretty intense chronic headaches as a result of fibromyalgia and coffee was not helping me out on that front. For years, I assumed furtherance of my morning headache was the ________ I had to take in order to get my daily fix. Fast forward to the first couple weeks of law school - a conversation amongst classmates began regarding the tortious amount of reading that was required of us, the lack of hours in the day, and the lack of caffeine in the world. I explained the other gripe of mine regarding caffeinated beverage options, which was that I wasn't always feeling like having a hot drink to get my caffeine in and the cold caffeinated beverage options weren't ticking all my boxes either. As a substitute for the hot drink, I would purchased iced lattes, but it became terribly unrealistic fiscally for the long term. Besides, even a triple shot ice latte wasn't nearly enough caffeine to get me thru the day. I was into energy drinks for awhile for the same reason, but did not at all want to make that an even remotely regular thing, for obvious reasons. Needless to say, it was suggested that I try V8 energy. I hadn't even heard of it or seen it at the store before. I bought my first little 6 pack that same day between classes and by 6pm, I had drank them all. I was hooked. Not only is it actually quite delicious, but it packs in that little 8 oz can about as much caffeine as a cup of coffee does. Each can has 80 mg of caffeine, while a typical cup of coffee has about 90 mg. The best thing about them, in my opinion, is that the caffeine is derived from green tea, rather than coffee bean so it is much more gentle (reducing the effect on the headache issue), but just as effective, if not more. It's the perfect size can making it easy to drink. I'm certain I'm not the only one that is so damn tired of having a couple sips of my coffee, getting distracted and it getting cold, then having to heat it up making it less fresh tasting, then repeating that cycle at least 4-5 more times until you finished a full cup. It would end up taking me half the morning to finish just one cup and when the goal is to consume lots of caffeine, that was just not efficient enough for me. Now, I'll usually finish a V8 in maybe 15 minutes or so. It certainly can be done in 15 seconds though and I have certainly had my share of those days. Overall, my little V8 energies certainly exceeded my expectations and now, I could not live a day without them. My mom, friends, and siblings all will have a 6 pack or two waiting for me in their fridges when I come to visit. My boss and co-workers have gifted it to me for holidays and birthdays. There is always some in my office, in my car, or in the mail on its way to me. I cannot live without it and I don't ever intend to. It's the staple to my subscribe and save with this 24 can case getting delivered to my door every other week. My girlfriend even has it on her subscribe and save every month just for me. Apppppparently, each can also contains a serving of fruits and a serving of vegetables as well, but that's just a nice benefit in my opinion. I admire other qualities in my V8 much more. To me, the serving of fruits and veggies is like when you go thru a drive thru and get cheese curds instead of fries with your meal, but then you get to the bottom of the bag and find a couple fries. So I guess basically what I'm saying is I'd highly recommend.

Great fruit juice replacement!
Flavor Name: Pomegranate Blueberry, Orange Pine...
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 24)
I'm a sucker for apple juice and other fruit juices but am also aware of how full of sugar they are. I started getting headaches with my usual apple juice and I just don't like the sugar-free options because they almost always taste off. This option from V8 is a delicious alternative and it helps me
also cut down on how often I drink coffee/energy drinks. I love the variety so I can find out my favorite flavor!

These are so delicious and VERY affordable. I make refreshers out of these, one from starbucks, dunkin, wawa would cost $5!! Why pay $5 for one drink when you can get 12 of these for $10! One serving of veggie/fruit in here too! Best energy drink I have had.

These are great. They're not too large and I don't feel jittery after drinking one, unlike some other energy drinks. You can't beat the taste either for strawberry banana. Overall, great sizing in individual 6 packs and a perfect can size at 8oz.

I like the smallish size, almost all of the ingredients & the taste. The only take aways are that it contains sucralose & citric acid. Of course, if they use healthier sweeteners, people still complain & would also say it was too bland if they just used more real citrus instead of citric acid.

I personally had issues with hydration so switched to these and although it only has the caffeine as a cup of coffe I felt better all day after drinking one in the morning before work
