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

haaaaaa

i wondered what the f that was. saw it on the side of a bus.

Our veggie options contain no meat or meat products and we aim to prevent them contacting our chickens in any way (even by phone).

That fits in here, right?

what is worse? vitamin water or suing over the health claims put forward by vitamin water, which entails believing them

Guy sitting next to me in a long drawn out tedious meeting yesterday was drinking vitamin water. I wonder if it helped him focus on the pointless argument that took up most of the 2+ hours?

there's some kind of new range of lotions or whatever in tesco that does this inspirational quote bullshit on the front, i find it disproportionately infuriating

not disproportionate

dude, you rant in all caps about the results of food polls!

<3 you LJ, but ... just sayin'

i'm past caring about the food polls

although in 4 minutes i won't be

A friend of mine just sold some footage (originally shot for an experimental film!) to Vitamin Water. Pretty savvy move, imo

Wow the blurbs on the US versions of Glaceau are somehow more aggravating than the UK ones

no wait the semifinals close tomorrow

oh and i'm not even fucking bothered really

glaceau need to be shot into the sun

food poll is some JYP shit

xp you are forgetting the "´" - which symbolizes the trajectory it should take on its way to the sun

Forfucksake:

Bored of the iPad already? Pop round to Fruit Towers, 1 Goldhawk estate...

Where to even start?

There's a regular epidemic of bullshit twee adverts at the moment. See also poster campaigns for Trebor Softmints, Orange mobile phone plans

Some enterprising young documentary maker needs to do some undercover filming at the Innocent factory, which I'm sure must be on an industrial estate somewhere near a Yop plant.

they opened a Pret by my work and the first time I went in there I felt such shame at the way the phrase "does the entire Innocent Smoothies aesthetic strike you as deeply fucking irritating" popped fully-formed into my head

srsly though that shit is like Wallace and Gromit trying to sell you an egg salad sandwich

you english people are so angry

Rivington Street in Shoreditch now appears to have some kind of pop-up style Innocent cafe.

Walked past it yesterday, did a double-take, thought of this thread and stuck my head in the window to see a large hall packed with 50 or so Clapham-looking twats in Superdry jeans and flip-flops perched on tiny chairs at long tables. The aesthetic definitely struck me as 'lunchtime in the school hall'.

Not particularly cutesy: argues it sells 'liquefied fruit salad' for tax purposes.

Recently went into a store and beheld 'World Peace: The Smoothie'

So we've been scratching our heads with confusion this morning as the government has decided they will continue to charge VAT on fruit smoothies. Ultimately, if the VAT charge was reduced, we could pass the saving on to our drinkers.

trying to think of other companies in other industries with a similarly precious/entitled/twee aesthetic but legions of ~middle class~ fans etc etc

xpost That's the thing... Also, I had no idea they were part-owned by Coca Cola. Innocent my bottom.

Wonder how long my comment will stay under that blog post?

A-ha ha ha. I hope their Social Media Guru (I bet they have one, it's exactly the type of company to dick about like that) checks out the pages linking to their blog, too, and reads this thread.

I now appear to be trolling the Innocent Smoothies website. This is what my life has now become.

I dunno, Matt. Four pounds for a fruit juice that creates World Peace is a pretty special deal.
