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

it also ruined the internet btw

Also this phenomenon is not at all limited to plant based products, as documented itt for the last 15 years

i've never even seen iCarly

or Bleach for that matter, i heard there was way too much filler towards the end

Hello to you, dear reader!
When the former Albanian dictator Enver Hoxha delivered his New Year message back in 1967, he pulled the cord marked “truth bomb”. “This year will be harder than last year,” he declared. “It will, however, be easier than next year.” I mean … on the one hand: thanks for not sugar-coating it, Enver. On the other: way to kill the party buzz, you monster!
I don’t want to murder the atmosphere (or indeed any dissidents) by reminding you of the news year you’ve just lived through – or by warning you of the news year you’re about to live through. It’s not big, it’s not clever, and it’s sure as heck not seasonal.
But I will say, pointedly, that our reporting feels particularly necessary in dark times. If you can, please help support the Guardian on a monthly basis from just £2, so as to keep it open for everyone. I can’t tell you how much it would be appreciated. A free press is needed now as much as it has ever been – and on some days, more than it has ever been.
In return for this support, I am formally* bestowing upon you the right to refer to yourself – in conversation, in the pub, and on any business cards you may care to have printed up – as “a newspaper baron”. Face it: if you pay to support a news organisation, then you ARE to all intents and purposes a newspaper baron. Just enjoy it! All the others do.
With that, it simply remains is for me to wish you a very happy holidays, and a splendid new year. Goodness knows you’ve earned it.

This honestly reads worse than most innocent-style copy & now I’m amusing myself picturing uk media dipshits lining up to declare the anonymous composers of shitty brand emails the greatest stylists of their generation

On 20 July 2013, GCHQ officials entered The Guardian’s offices at King’s Cross in London, six weeks after the first Snowden-related article had been published.

At the request of the government and security services, Guardian deputy editor Paul Johnson, along with two others, spent three hours destroying the laptops containing the Snowden documents.

the Graun as the last bastion of the UK free press is the only funny joke in there

feel like that awful kid acne graffiti is adjacent to the topic of this thread

I was unfamiliar with the Innocent Smoothies brand until this thread. Looking at it online, I don't find the aesthetic particularly irritating at all.
