Be careful with Innocent smoothies

wellblechstrumpf

I saw recently Innocent smoothies on offer at Asda. Initially, I intended to buy three packages, but at the check-out I wondered how much content is in them. Very well hidden, it says 750ML (!!!) Before it was a 1L.

So I bought only two. At home I was quite surprised finding out that the packages inside was at least empty for 7cm! A lot of air still in this packages :mad:

No more innocent smoothies for me. Anyway, I dislike them as well because the make stupid comments on their packages, for example no houses in the ingredient list. I am annoyed by this.

...a bit late, been 750ml since JUNE last year!

All explained here... http://innocentdrinks.typepad.com/innocent_drinks/2011/06/big-and-slightly-smaller-change-is-afoot.html

Sorry, I have not bought them in a while :-) But how do you explain so much air at the top?

It's called a sense of humour. Personally i've always liked that innocent done this.

I particularly like their vouchers, with the comments such as do not use on anything else, not even a nice top!!!!

Now, now. Don't get so het up and annoyed.

I'm sure the time spent on this could be put to much better use. The curtains won't twitch themselves, for example.

wasn't there a really long post on this before? I like the drinks but they're too expensive for me so don't buy them now, but I do like the comments and bright colours on the packaging

I liked them when they were independent, young, fresh, fun brand. But then they were bought by coca cola.
I wouldn't spend so much money on something coming from coca cola.

They're too expensive and I expect a smoothie to be made fresh. It takes me seconds to blitz ripe fruit with yoghurt, much cheaper and tastes great.

Seems a bit irrelevant anyway.

Innocent smoothies are not a product bought on price. They cost something like 6-7 times as much as say, pure fruit juice.

If you find yourself worrying about price rises / size reduction on such brands you should probably be thinking twice about buying them in the first place.
