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

Sorry, I feel drunk.

my tip is to have really crap bumfluff facial hair even though you're in your mid 20s, only need to use a razor every month or so.

or shoplift them like the junkies do.

Sorry, I feel drunk.

yeah, blood loss due to homemade razors will do that to ya every time

These days, one mention of beer and I'm under the table.

As will leaving your Innocent smoothies sitting around until they ferment.

Actually, no: they explode if you do that. Seriously. ILX0r Zoe Espera will vouch for this.

I thought the Vag Rounded font was a guarantee against this kind of thing.

Fruit smoothie drinkers out on the streets today.

The smoothies give them the energy to hold back the anarchists.

If they abolished money, how would people be able to purchase fruit smoothies? It would all go to waste.

they could barter in their friendly bacteria for chilled refreshing Diet Smoothies

Shoplift oranges from trees and crush them yourselves under the unstoppable wheels of the revolution.

Maybe they could co-ordinate their orange-stealing activities and start a "commune" of fruit crushers working towards a five-year plan?

beroccas are the new smoothies

haha yeah

I've actually been drinking This Water lately, mostly due to a branch of Eat existing right next to my workplace. Prefer San Pellegrino Limonata though tbh.

Ha, you're a seller's dream! I hope you never find yourself working next to Rolexes'R'Us or anything.

(Sorry: I have a massive, massive fucking problem with bottled water of any kind. I just think it's shit. Sparkling stuff I can just about understand, though, given that it doesn't come out of the fucking tap.)

dude I am fucking impervious to advertising, infinitely cynical about the use of the moving image in marketing, thoroughly repelled by the rise of the plasma-screen advert board (television! everywhere! on the tube! in the streets! look at our products! they move! they are colourful! buy! buy! buy!) but something I am not dissuaded by is having to walk 10 yards to get a nice (and yes, they are nice) heated ciabatta sandwich and a drink mid-gruelling-shift, especially if I get a 10% discount for working in the same block

choice of drinks = johnson's fruit juice (tiny carton, nearly 2 quid), san pellegrino, coke, or this water (bigger carton, 1.50) and you must bear in mind that "this water" is not actually bottled water (which is something I *never* buy) but is fairly agreeable bottled fruit juice drink

all I have to do is not look at the label or the price too much

Hmm. That's a miserable choice of drinks, right enough. My advice would be to buy a box of teabags (assuming you have access to a kettle or geyser in the office?)

Also: I realise I'm totally wrong about what This Water is -- it's the stuff that used to be called something less aggravating, isn't it? So yeh, the only criticism I can apply now is "overpriced", which I figure is going to go for pretty much everything in any city sandwich shop ever. Sorry.

to clarify, the san pellegrino drinks are from their fruit-drink range, not the pure sparkling water one

there's also shandy and beer but workplace ethics etc ;_;

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

i would buy it, but only to refill it after

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.
