Peacock in 1933 in Evanston, IL.\u00a0 Peacock was the founder of the New England Products Company, which made a variety of vegetable juices and marketed them under the brand name &#8220;Vegemin&#8221;.\u00a0 Not surprisingly, vegetable juice wasn&#8217;t a big seller at first given that the original juices were sold as pure juice from specific vegetables.<\/p>\n<p>In order to try to boost sales, Peacock began experimenting with mixing the juices from different vegetables to improve on the overall flavor.\u00a0 Eventually, he came up with the recipe for &#8220;Vege-min 8&#8221;, which was later shortened to &#8220;V8&#8221; at the suggestion of a local grocery store in Evanston, Illinois that was carrying the product.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"bonusfacts\">Bonus<\/span> Facts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The V8 recipe was purchased by the Campbell Soup Company in 1948, which was the same year W.G. Peacock died.<\/li>\n<li>At the time V8 was acquired by Campbell&#8217;s in 1948, Ronald Reagan was the leading spokesman for V8.<\/li>\n<li>The iconic label on Campbell soups was devised all the way back in 1898 by Herberton Williams.\u00a0 Williams was an executive at Campbell&#8217;s and was inspired by the colors and uniforms of the Cornell University football team.\u00a0 The gold medal on the labels is from a gold medal Campbell&#8217;s won at the 1900 Paris Exhibition.\u00a0 The Campbell&#8217;s label has changed very little in the more than 100 years since its creation.<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Joseph Campbell &amp; Co.&#8221;, which later became the Campbell Soup Company, was put on the map in the late 19th and early 20th century thanks to a nephew of the general manager named Arthur Dorrance.\u00a0 Dorrance was a chemist and during his time with Campbell he developed a way to condense soup by taking out most of the water content.\u00a0 This and other such successes with Campbell&#8217;s eventually saw him made president of the company from 1914 to 1930.\u00a0 He also later purchased the company outright from the Campbell family.<\/li>\n<li>Along with the Campbell&#8217;s brand line of soups and the V8 line, Campbell&#8217;s also owns the following other major brands: Pace Foods (salsas), Pepperidge Farm, Prego, and Swanson, among others.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<span class=\"collapseomatic \" id=\"id69f043200bc01\"  tabindex=\"0\" title=\"Expand for References:\"    >Expand for References:<\/span><div id=\"target-id69f043200bc01\" class=\"collapseomatic_content \">\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"Campbell Soup Company\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Campbell_Soup_Company\" target=\"_blank\">Campbell Soup Company<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"V8\" href=\"http:\/\/www.v8juice.com\/faq.aspx#juiceIncluded\" target=\"_blank\">V8<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"V8 Beverage\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/V8_%28beverage%29\" target=\"_blank\">V8 Beverage<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Source for the Image\" href=\"http:\/\/thecalloftheland.wordpress.com\/2009\/04\/27\/when-your-garden-runneth-over-veggie-trader\/vegetables\/\" target=\"_blank\">Source for the Image<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"highlighter\">Disclaimer: Guest Articles are written by various people and while I do my best to make sure they are factual by checking their sources and the like before allowing them to be posted, I do not guarantee that everything in them is going to be 100% accurate as I myself didn&#8217;t do the research for these articles and it&#8217;s possible their sources, even if they are reputable, are themselves inaccurate.<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Note: This is a guest article contributed by frequent TIFO visitor and owner of StevenHumour.com, Steven. <a href='http:\/\/www.todayifoundout.com' title='Interesting Facts'>Today I found out<\/a> what the eight juices are in V8 vegetable juice.
