Hi all,

Yes, I've been noticing the ads in American magazines for a few months now. But as of yet, it's not available in Canadian stores. Darn. And the Campbell's-V8 website is no help either.

Presidents' Choice and Master Choice, as well as Ocean Spray (I think) make Splenda-versions of their fruit juice cocktails. They're still kinda high in carbs even so, about 8 to 10 per cup. BUT, if you mix 'em 1:1 with club soda or Perrier, they make great spritzers, for only half the carbs.

p.s.- I love V8 vegetabe juice, it's the ONLY one made without sugar or corn syrup added, at 8 carbs per cup. Here's a great wintery "soup" idea - make 1 cup of your favourite beef or chicken bouillon (try a natural foods store to find sugar-free). Heat 1 cup V8 in the microwave. Mix the two together, divide into 2 mugs, add a few dots of Tabasco and or worcestershire, a celery stalk and voila! Under 5 carbs each.
