Those V-8 folks have come up with a new twist on their vegetable drink. The newest juice has carrots, apples and tropical fruit juices and it's called "V-8 Splash." The 46-ounce bottle retails for $1.89.

Nihla Lake (married, two children at home): "We kept expecting this juice to taste like tomato and keep us straight!"We thought V-8 was a pleasant-tasting drink with a good combination of tropical flavors. It was not too sweet and very refreshing."

Edyth Jensen (married, one daughter and two grandkids at home): "The tropical blend in this drink is interesting to say the least. It is a great way to get carrot juice. It is very refreshing and had a different taste. We really enjoyed it. We will purchase it again from time to time."

Don Russell (married, five children at home, ages 6-16): "Thumbs up! When I first saw this beverage on the grocer's shelf this summer, I stopped in my tracks and put a bottle in the basket. I'm a fruit juice nut and this new product simply caught my fancy. Did I like the taste? Quite a bit. I enjoyed the blend of carrot and fruit juices. It's appetizing and tasty; however, for a beverage that's just one-fourth fruit juice, I think Campbell's could charge a little less for their new offering."

Linda C. Tingey (single mother, two sons at home): "This did not last long in my refrigerator. It was refreshing and it tasted good. And besides that, it's good for you. This is such a variety of veggies and fruits that I'll buy it again. It'll be No. 2 on my list, right after my favorite, V-8."

Rich Firmage (married, four children, oldest 12 years old): "I've seen this stuff advertised and thought it looked good. I'm a juice-aholic and drink juice all the time. I buy it by the case. So I was eager to try this.

"The strange thing about this is that the No. 1 ingredient is carrot juice. But I didn't taste any carrots. What does come through is the mango puree. It has a definite mango flavor in this juice. But I like it. It is good and the whole family likes it. I will buy more."

Conclusion: It's unanimous! This new juice made a BIG splash with our testers. The key word is refreshing and they think you'll like it, too.
