When Lush was new on the high street it pissed me off cos I thought it was a cheese shop every time I walked past until I looked properly

The worst for chumminess is the 'VAT Nightmare' notices in branches of Pret.
"Hi, we are legally required to add on VAT when you eat in. Nightmare."
FUCK OFF.

I can't say I've ever given it that much thought (orig thread qn that is) I bought one once from the college canteen but it was nowt special and cost too much for such a tiny bottle. I noticed that there seemed to be some kind of wanky blether on the side of the bottle about how aweosme it all was but it was tl;dr so I hoyed it in the bin. Life's too short.

"Lush" the soap shop (as opposed to Miki and Emma) you could not walk past as they would pump out horrible soap fumes to 'entice' you in.
I think they've stopped doing that.
Still, never been in.

Big thing of Tesco frozen "summer fruits" + juice + yogurt + banana = what, a fiver? If going by Innocent's pitifully small portion size, the above ingredients will make about a dozen smoothies, all of which taste better and are fresh. Look, I just out-smugged Innocent.

Again, instead of buying Lush products you can just blend seaweed, olive oil and lye in a rectilinear mold, give it two weeks to "set" and bob's your uncle.

Today I went free to a big charity cricket function, ended up captaining the Popbitch XI, won us a game, and drank about 7 smoothies.
I have been on some sort of completely ridiculous sugar-rush ever since.
But there is more. Vitamin Water from Glaceau (owned by Coca-Cola) is a new product aimed at being our fucking mate. It puts Innocent to SHAME in terms of bloodcurdling label blurb. I collected the labels of all five different flavours, and if you're lucky, when I wake up I'll reprint them here.
They are, without exception, criminal.

Thanks... Oh wait a minute it's a website oh that's sooooo meta FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF
vitaminwater - it works
You know, because there are so many other beverage products that don't work. If I had a dollar for every time I've drunk plain old stupid water out of a tap and I've ended up feeling more thirsty...
fruitwater - natural is healthy, artificial is not
Here's some water containing extract of deadly nightshade - it's healthy, because it's natural!
