It was me that invented one and it was about 4 years ago . I can't remember but I know it had strawberries, bananas and a few other things in. was nothing like what they were doing at the time. They made it for a while but it is no longer available. I can't recall all the details exactly as I have a new pc and it was so long ago. I guess also I put a mental block on that company the day I said I'd never buy or touch their stuff again.

I saw the guy on TV a coupla years ago. He seemed very smug and I thought yes, there's the man whose company stole my idea. No wonder he's smug making money form other peoples ideas.

There is so much unecessary and unsubstantiated text in your post that I am just not going to comment on any of it and leave it to others! :rolleyes:

Innocent are and (were at that time an even tinier) a tiny company in Hammersmith.They always liked to give the impression they were a little one man , his mate and a dog company. I always thought it was a coupla students in their spare time from their childish sales blurb.

Sorry but as I was unemployed at the time my mind was more on finding a job , you know so I can pay for food and a roof over my head etc...???

mmm innocent smoothies

I received two gifts from them before during december near christmas time. During 2006 christmas I got some mistletoe and last year I got a cardboard christmas tree. It's almost christmas so look out for their emails. There's usually a link saying if you want a free gift from them go here. This will send you a link to their webbie and then you enter name and address. They also sometimes have competitions.

i keep harrassing innocent to give me a job! one of their offices is round the corner from me and they sound like they're really lovely to work for although they only ever seem to have openings in professional stuff.

the drinks themselves are expensive but don't forget the government slap VAT on smoothies innocent actually led a campaign last year to end the tax but the government declined. i think asda take away the cost of the VAT on smoothies though although the last time i bought some from there they didn't seem that much cheaper.

personally i think it's nice to have a company that's not formal and full of technical/business jargon. whenever they've replied to my emails they're been friendly and generally quite pleasant. i agree the emails are sometimes a bit much though, i delete them quite often cos they just seem to be rambling!
