There was no objecy evident during the transfer. I just went to use the v8 and heard the sickening thud inside the small glass bottle. It grew in my fridge. It looks like a swirly piece of semi cooked shrimp. Not sick yet. I barely had a sip.

From what I've seen in about 20 minutes, at least 5 other people have head the same experience. One woman was poisoned from it. And to make matter worse, this happened seven years after your incident and Campbells said "this is the first time this has happened" when it clearly is not. V8 is a danger to consumers, and I have not yet heard of any follow-up in which Campbells identified the object and/or took preventative measures. They have, however, asked for the evidence to be mailed to them. Suspicious? I think so.<br /><br />If not for yourself, at least make a commotion for others. Campbells has made its buyers sick multiple times, and continues to do so. What was in your drink? It's really necessary to have someone tie these cases up into a conclusion so that changes can be made.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2913809749903445948.post-37350360340117751242014-04-23T22:31:29.911-07:002014-04-23T22:31:29.911-07:00Hi Liz (and consequently, all readers in Futurewor...Hi Liz (and consequently, all readers in <i>Futureworld,</i>),<br /><br />I do have a followup piece to this post, which you can read here:<br /><a href="http://www.thelobotomistsdream.com/2007/12/v8-chronicles-epilogue.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.thelobotomistsdream.com/2007/12/v8-chronicles-epilogue.html</a><br /><br />Long story short, suing was an option, but not one worth the effort.

Did you ever find out anything more? There is a woman in TX who found a smaller version of the same thing last month. I'm trying to investigate.

Try checking around on wikipedia for something that could look like that and survive in the salty vegetable juice environment a bottle of V8 has. Also, it's worth considering that it must have been a rather tough substance, given that it didn't dissolve or fracture into smaller pieces while in transport to the point of purchase. The FDA would know what to do with it, but it may be a substance with bio-toxic properties, and should probably be hermetically sealed, in some sort of super airtight container (or containers) to prevent any slight possibility of contamination of your food source.

I do agree, it's probably just some fungus colony. Of course, it's much more interesting to think that this is a tell-tale sign of how Campbells takes care of employees who violate the code of conduct:<BR/><BR/>HR Manager: "Welcome on board with Campbells. Before we go on, I must tell you something."<BR/><BR/>New Employee: "Sure, what's up?"<BR/><BR/>HR Manager: "See that stainless steel vat over there, you know, the only with the grinder above it?"<BR/><BR/>Employee: "Yeah, it that where you mix the ingredients for V-8?"<BR/><BR/>HR Manager (in a voice not unlike a creepy version of Mr. Rogers): "No, my friend, that is where we send the bad employees to be...(Giggles sinisterly)...'punished.'"<BR/><BR/>Ah capitalism, so much unlike the glorious red. In America, they will advertise and spend millions to cover up the fact that their quality control is wrong. In Russia, they didn't spend anything on advertisements - you just ate or drank it regardless.<BR/><BR/>-Comrade ChavezAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2913809749903445948.post-34115604210203812582007-11-25T11:32:00.000-08:002007-11-25T11:32:00.000-08:00I think you ought to do as that woman in the artic...I think you ought to do as that woman in the article did and cut the blob into three pieces, sending a piece to the FDA and to Campbells, but keeping the last piece as proof of what you found.
