Anybody remember the scene in the Mel Brooks movie "High Anxiety"
with Brooks and Madeline Kahn dressed as an old Jewish couple trying
to sneak through an airport security line. They create a 'diversion'
by waving a big bunch of celery around and having this huge argument
about "Snappy Peppy" tomato juice. "So vell podden me mister snappy
peppy! I just thought you maybe you vould be vantng the bloody
mary . . ." I think of that every time I see a can of Snap-e-Tpm or
however they spell it,

You *can* still get V8, but you have to pay a juice guzzler tax on it.

Just outside the small Midwestern US town in which I grew up there was a
little county park that centered on a little river. Sticking out of the
side of one of one of the hills that ran down to the river to eventually
become one of its banks was a pipe maybe two or three inches diameter.
From it flowed artesian well water. There was a hole drilled in the
exposed end of the pipe; it may have been half an inche in diameter. When
you placed your hand over the end of the pipe, the little hole provided a
drinking fountain. Nice and cold.

if you're referring to snap-e-tom, it seems to me that i see it once in a
while. nice logo, or it used to be, with the character with a big tomato
head wearing a sombrero.

it's now packed by del monte. google will turn up some sources.

Great thanks,

A few years ago I would only buy the big cans for $1.00 on sale then the
sales of that item stopped. Then I saw an ad for the 99 Cent Only stores
one day for the small (soda can size) 12 ounce at 2 for $1.00. At that price
I buy it by the case for occasional use. In the past the larger cans would
start fermenting or going bad before I would use it all.

I'll try the 6 to 26 - Thanks again.

Actually for just plain spicy tomato juice I prefer Bloody Mary Mix
plain, without Vodka. However, temptation usually overcomes me before
I get the first glass down. I mean, after all, it IS better with
Vodka.

I've tried various hot sauces with V8 and in various concentrations
but haven't found the correct balance yet. FWIW, V8 Hot and Spicy is
not the taste I'm looking for. It seems a little off to me. I guess
I've beaten this V8 juice thing to death about now. Think it's time
for a little Jack Daniels over ice. ;-)

There are a couple of sauces I really like in V8; "Ass Kickin' Wasabi
Horseradish Hot Sauce" (www.asskickin.com) made in Goodyear, AZ, and "Poblano
Salsa Ranchera" made by Poblano Hot Sauce, Inc. in Tucson. Much better than
Tobasco. I tend to use the name Tobasco generically, but usually use other
hot sauces instead.

I don't drink V8 much but, IMHO, it absolutely needs a dash of
Worcestershire and maybe Tabasco and, dare I say it, salt! I'm no real
fan of Bloody Marys but I do ask for the Mix on airplanes when I don't
want something alcoholic.
