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

is one allowed to excelsior from without ILX

put the word out, if ilx goes down again we are all going to the innocent blog and going on like normal

This is glorious.

some people on our blog have decided to be negative nathans! media michael is very sad about this and hasn't left his office all day! that's why danny delete has made some mean words disappear!

losing my shit here

omg you guys, well done

if like our ceo wooly william, you really love innocent and drink them until the cows come home (what cows? we only use fruit in our smoothies!) and you really enjoy our fun approach to bringing you some 100 per cent fruit, then the chances are you are unable to actually chew foods you total fucking cretin.

The Social Media Guru obviously rode his Vespa home to Clapham early this afternoon after a good two or three hours hard work brainstorming new brand strategies.

He's going to have a hard time on Thursday morning when he gets back into the office at 11am!

Hang on, they 'has' a Twitter:

@danniiminogue Sorry, just realised the cat in the hat is not your cat. Got excited there. If you'd like one (a hat not a cat) let us know.

lol ronan

i think innocent smoothies are fucking delicious. which may around here be the equivalent of saying 'say what you will about the nazis, but they had STYLE.'

Innocent Smoothies are very sad about having to charge VAT on our very expensive yummy smoothies because it means we have to pass it on to all of our customers. We don't want to pay it ourselves because we don't like our money going to schools and hospitals and budget deficits and other nasty things.

It means we have more money to spend on little hats and pictures of flowers and festivals with Kate Nash and yummy treats for our social media consultants, and other nice things!

Needs retweeting, get Stephen Fry on the case:

@innocentdrinks But it was not the "government" that decided, but the court that did. it was a court case, not a lobbying campaign

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

was this an Arsenal zing?

lololol

just hurt my face laughing at the smoothieblog intervention btw, good work gentlemen

;) xxp

this is the least valuable oversized corporate charity cheque ever, right?

Wait does that cheque say 'Alimentary (as in canal) Bank' in French?

The decimal point in most European countries' number systems functions like a comma in the UK, btw.

In this case, why not use a colon?

p sure nakh means moral value

I realise it was a joek and I feel like the worst kind of pedantic churl tbh

the worst kind of pedantic .churl

Good work chaps.

couldn't resist another post, in response to some pro innocent bastards

lol at whoever posted as stevem

I would set off at around 7.15am each morning to attend to any jobs I had. Fruit.

yeah those last two posts are gr8

If you have a problem with the price of the Smoothies, don't buy them, they're not forcing you to. Yes, they are more expensive than a piece of fruit because you're paying for someone to come up with the flavour combination, someone to design the bottle, an ad, the bottle itself, someone to be in charge of paying all the people who do this. I'm sure Innocent don't mind the VAT going towards schools and hospitals because none of it goes towards making sure that politicians can make massive expense claims to the tune of more than a lot of people earn in a year...

that's a great idea whenever i'm up for tax evasion

NOT PAYING FOR YOUR BLOODY DUCK ISLANDS IS A CIVIC PROTEST

love it when people say "you have to pay for the cost of the marketing" like it's a special treat

the reason i moved all those companies offshore and got my secretary to file fake tax returns is cuz i'll be DAMNED if i'm gonna subsidise some bloody fancy house of bleedin commons monogrammed stationery

Tax evaders are are greatest national heroes

find it hard to believe a real human being would actually of their own accord defend innocent smoothies

If you have a problem with the price of the genocides, don't support the Khmer Rouge, even though they're forcing you to. Yes, they are more expensive than machetes because you're paying for someone to come up with the extermination camps, someone to design the infrastructure, the propaganda, the torture techniques themselves, someone to be in charge of paying all the people who do this. I'm sure righteous citizens don't mind the support going towards death and terror because none of it goes towards making sure that politicians can make massive expense claims to the tune of more than a lot of people earn in a year...

Apparently they were going to charge VAT on fat, cats, mats, tat, bats and hats... but it wasn't quite ridiculous enough an idea.

Hayes I've had enough of your antics. What do I pay you for? Just clear your desk and get out - there are plenty of people out there who would've grabbed this opportunity with bear hands but this is how you'd rather spend your time. Unbelievable.

have worked as a plumber in southern Ireland since 1986.

At that time my wife was working in the local bookmakers shop and she would eat an apple each day before work.

I would set off at around 7.15am each morning to attend to any jobs I had. Fruit.

In the end one morning I arrived at a house and the man who owned it had passed away.

Grow up the lot of you.

We all have to pay our taxes to the stinking Eurocrats. Even me and I'm just a banana.

I would have spoken out sooner but I was worried they would have me liquidated.
