V8 Energy Shot



"Powered Naturally. Ingredients You Know" this is the tagline they choose to use. Oh they are ingredients I know, that's for sure. Although the last time I checked, sucralose does NOT occur in nature!

I am weaning my husband off of energy drinks and saw this and thought to myself "oh fruits, veggies, green tea extracts that seems harmless". I turned it around and read, or at least attempted to read the ingredients list. I did unfortunately forget to wear my magnifying glasses that day....touche!! From my quick read in the isle I didn't see anything horrible so I bought it. They came two to the package so while I was working with my husband we tried it out. First off, it tasted like a Flinstone vitamin, yuck!! After I gulped it down I read it closer, sucralose..dammit!! I hate bleach sugar...

Now I don't typically partake in any sort of energy drinks, not for lack of wanting energy but for the fact that all they do is give me anxiety and shortness of breath. Well, I can drink green tea with no issues and the bottle of the V8 shot said as much caffeine as a regular cup of coffee but after about an hour I was all jacked up ready to puke! I don't know why anyone in their right mind would want that feeling, or the bleached sugar. I swear why did they even put sucralose in it other then to poison everyone. It had 10 grams of sugar so all the sugar free people won't touch it. Sorry, I am venting here cause I feel like I was hoodwinked into getting this product and that doesn't typically happen to me. Lesson learned...
