Does the entire Innocent Smoothies aesthetic strike you as deeply fucking irritating?

he did it bcs of bulgarian workers there DO YOU SEE

they seem to have hired a load of young Bulgarians on the cheap

do you read the internet? you don't have to go to bulgaria to find really shitty written english

duh, course u don't but it's cheaper

England is a place where you can find really shitty written English.

england for the shittily written english, that's what i say

did you seriously change broadband providers because of spelling mistakes

no! i was moving house

i just saw the badly-written english and thought 'wow, how unprofessional'. i've not noticed it on anywhere near that level from any other corporate correspondance.

"totes unaceptable" i told them. those were my sentimonies to be sure.

oh no, an advert

what is that song, it is fucking disgusting!

the bud one i mean

Shit beer commercials are a fact of life.

The song from the Budweiser ad is "All Together Now" by The Beatles. I think it was used for another commercial years ago but I can't remember for what.

hello

We like our orange juice because it tastes very, very good.

But there's no need to bang on about it, so here's a picture of an annoyed owl dressed as a tree to help pass the time.

still wanna know who this is

Google btw

that figures

Huh, was expecting this to have been bumped for this:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8619028.stm

funny you say that, i bought the dragonfruit one of those at the weekend, and it had some bullshit on the side like "rosie is at glastonbury. justin's tent got stuck in the mud. vitamin water won't help with this, but it might help you win an arm wrestling contest with your gran :)"

"vitamin water won't help with this, but it might help to murder thousands of children"

:)

i believe this is covered upthread, complete with painstakingly typed-out blurbs

"here at innocent we are busy knitting wooly hats for genocidal soldiers in rwanda. for every baby that's killed, we'll hand pick you an orange! ps: david hasselhoff!"

this whole schtick actually makes people distrust human kindness and enthusiasm.

^^^yep

That innocent video posted a month ago... It's like The Office but everyone's David Brent. horrible.

Personally can't think of any company trying to do the OTT nice approach, except for banks and petroleum companies, so it's not really as irritating when they are so obviously fucking people over at every turn.

There's that creepy thing Westpac are doing where they have those giant banners on the window saying HI I AM FRANK SMITH, BRANCH MANAGER and father of two and snowboard enthusiast and superman and bla bla bla and I'm here to help!"

If I was a bank manager and had to have that shit plastered outside my workplace I think I'd find a new job.

Ugh, this.

"human kindness and enthusiasm" is a myth devised to sell you crap products.

Those British Vitamin Water blurbs are so British. Flatmates, snogged, trainers, Glastonbury, prawn cocktail crisps.

it's like anglophile vocab

Until just now I had never opened this thread, never heard of these drinks and was 100% convinced that Innocent Smoothies was a band name.

shame on you

i really like innocent smoothies.

the aesthetic is horrid. had a pot noodle lately (;_;) and it had some matey stuff about telling their mum if it didn't taste right or whatever pish. I DEMAND PROFESSIONAL DECORUM.

they taste nice...tho a friend claimed to me at the weekend they changed from 4 a day to 2 a day or some shit...

we were ordering battered sausages at the time that we discussed this disgraceful news

yeah they're 2-a-day. I buy two cartons whenever they have it for 2 for some slightly cheaper price in tesco and have a big glass at breakfast.

I buy it but it's hard to unseat berocca as my breakfast beverage.

someone needs to start making ad campaigns that say "we are money hungry irresponsible cunts"

Think Barclays still use that slogan.
