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

when i buy bottled water it's mostly for the bottle, to refill with tap water and carry it around until it gets gross - can't go anywhere without a bottle of water, i get thirsty easily.

Those San Pellegrino cans you can get in Eat are in serious danger of turning me into some kind of ultra-ponce who refuses to drink from any can that doesn't come with a bit of foil across the top.

I love San Pellegrino water. I do refill plenty tho as buying water is PRICEY.

I also drink Innocent Smoothies but I don't think it's wanky/wrong to really hate that marketing aesthetic. It is seriously horrible.

^ Yes, absolutely.

bottled water is immoral.

sex before marriage is immoral

Yep, Innocent Smoothie bottles can and will explode if you leave them lying around. Left a barely-sipped one on my desk at the end of a day at work and arrived back the next day to a frightening scene of strawberry carnage. Was all over the desk, my papers, between the keys of my keyboard and, impressively, on the (really rather high) ceiling.

I believe the strawberry splatters are there to this day. It delights me that at least I made some kind of mark in that job. Ho ho.

I don't drink them anymore, though. Too sickly.

Indefensible

Holy Mother of God. End days.

And even more sinister than the original, which sort of implied a single monstrous grandmother to all those wretches, because presumably for several of the people in this reunion there really isn't anyone like grandma, because she's dead.

Matt since you seem to be our resident expert here, what is the difference between San Pellegrino Aranciata (ORANGE label) and San Pellegrino La Rossa (RED label)? They both appear to be the exact same drink yet both options appear in my local poncerie.

La Rossa - blood oranges?

Presumably the La Rossa is blood orange related? I've never seen it, but I'd imagine it would therefore taste very similar to the original orange one?

I had San Pelligrino Aranciata Amara last time I was in Italy and it was lovely - think it might have been blood oranges, it was quite bitter. I had it with my lunch pretty much every day. I've been looking for it here ever since without success. This news of 'La Rossa' is a promising development.

Saw an advert for these yesterday. I seethed with rage.

Yeah, I saw some yesterday.

Dunno, might be nice, forget how much they cost.

It's about 2 of your daily allowance of needless additional packaging as well.

The Thai Curry one is revolting.

otm - that "best eaten with one of these" guff is particularly galling. So it's not better eaten with your own washable, non-disposable metal fork rather than their throw away wooden spork then? Wankers.

Wooden spork imparts the correct experience, do not backtalk their aesthetic engineers

So hateful:

it probably would if their smoothies weren't actually head and shoulders above the competition.

no

I was thinking "hey that's not so hateful" but then he said "baby photo wall" and I was RARARARARARAA-HULK-SMASH-HATE-RAGE!!!

Guess which company has this as their email signature disclaimer?

BE's support staff responses were littered with mistakes - they seem to have hired a load of young Bulgarians on the cheap and it was surprising to see such a trade-off wrt poor written English from a major company.

did you seriously change broadband providers because of spelling mistakes

omg u racist

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.

"DEAR BE: U MAD"
