I agree. If we all email them maybe they will think again.

I emailed V-8 a while ago about V-8 Splash Light. It's sweetened with Splenda & is pretty low in carbs. I got the same type of response saying they didn't feel there was enough of a market in Canada. Bah. There is always V-8 Splash Regular on the grocery shelves and with the few choices in lower carb drinks the would have a great market.

The problem is unless they are sure they have a market they back off because of limited shelf space. They actually pay grocery stores for premium eye level shelf space. It's called slotting fees. If you don't believe me here's a link to an article about it. Slotting Fees

We shouldn't have to pay premium prices for LC products. I guess we just have to wait until more companies realize that's what comsumers want.
