Regular V8 seems the same to me. Low sodium tastes sweet - it's what I
should drink, but I just can't. I like the lemon stuff and I usually
add lemon or lime (and Worcestershire) to the regular, anyway. I
don't drink the hot/spicy stuff because the Worcestershire adds a more
complex flavor kick. I haven't tried the plus calcium V8, but maybe
you'd find it "thicker". Calcium fortified skim milk feels more like
whole milk to me, but calcium added OJ is kind of chalky. Having said
that, I'm a cheapskate and most of the time I buy the store brand at
half the price, especially if I'm going to cook with it.

I made a terrific "ratatouille" soup the other day. Vegan too! No
eggplant (yuk) but yellow summer squash, zuchinni, onion, bell
peppers and fresh green beans with mediterranean - type herbs and a
little olive oil. Fast and EZ.
