I am the first one to admit that my eating habits are...not good.
In fact they are very, very bad.
The only vegetable I ever choose to eat are green beans.
But I only like them from a can.
Ty tells me all the time that I need to eat healthier.
The last time I was at the grocery store I decided to take a step in that direction and appease him.
The enemy:
Yep.
That's V8.
And no, it's not V8 Splash, or V8 Fruit Fusion.
It's the ORIGINAL.
Like, just juices squeezed from vegetables into a can.
Carrots, tomatoes, spinich, watercress, beets, and whatever else was listed on the dang can.
I bought a six pack of these little guys.
And when I say "little," I'm being serious.
This can is less than 6 ounces.
So I figured, "Why the heck not? It's a tiny little can. Surely I can drink one of these with my dinner and get in a serving of veggies.
(Note: This is only ONE serving of vegetables. You're supposed to have 2-3 a DAY.)
To say that I was jazzed about drinking this would be a lie.
But I drank it.
The whole dang can.
And let me tell you something.
That 5.5 ounces doesn't seem so tiny when you're gagging.
Yeah, you heard right.
I gagged.
Not once.
Not twice.
FOUR TIMES.
Even when I held my nose and drank it.
Still gagged.
Ridiculous.
Never in my entire life have I tasted something quite that disgusting.
And I still have 5 freaking cans in the fridge to gag my way through.
Prayers on my behalf are appreciated throughout this endeavor.
Yuck.
xoxo, wife.
V8 Splash has vegetables in it. Why can't you drink that?

Mom-
ReplyDeleteI thought that the V8 Original would better for me. I figured it would have more vegetables. Once I finish these though, I'm definitely getting something different. I think I'm skipping it tonight though, because we're having green beans for dinner :)
