another new telly advert
Ted's done most of the blogging this year. Thank you Ted. So I thought I should help out again. Starting off by showing you another new advert. It looks a bit like the other recent one, except this time it features our Felicity and a brand spanking new blackberries, raspberries and boysenberries recipe. Not only did Felicity invent this recipe, she also sourced the special boysenberries to go in it. She’s great like that.
For those who are keeping tally, we’ve also added another gem to our collection of farmyard noises. Watch the ad and respect the mallard.
I was very upset and disturbed by the loss of blackberry and blueberry and have still yet to try the new one. However, thanks to Felicity I can still get my blackberry smoothie fix! Well done. I shall post a review in the near future.

I've looked everywhere In Winchester - well a couple of places, have yet to locate somewhere that sells the smoothy of the month!! or maybe by the time I get to lunch at 1pm they're all gone?? :-(

Interested to know who does the voice overs for your commercials?

Joan - we still make pineapples, bananas and coconuts. Should be in a shop near you right now.
Barbara - the smoothie of the month is in lots of places, but I would give Waitrose or Sainsbury's a go if you're really struggling - they should have plenty on their shelves.
Ben - at the moment Johnny Ball is doing the voiceovers.

I absolutely love pear juice which i usually get from the Italian shop. would you consider using pears in a future recipe; it has a lovely smooth thick texture.

it's Johnny Ball innit.. the voiceovers... and what have you done to the blueberry/blackcurrent/boysenberry smoothie - tastes like medicine!

OK... not blackcurrent (or blackcurrant even), but blackberry, raspberry and boys

Hello there,
Loved the advert, one mistake though...You should have used an Aylesbury duck. They are much more intelligent than a Mallard. I know these things, I owned 2 Aylesburys, one named Tia, one named Jemima. They were extrememly intelligent (maybe not as intelligent as Felicity, but then she is not a duck) and could quack much better than your average duck. I think this sort of quack would make your advert even better than the original one.

Acutually call ducks have the best voices - they sound as though they are laughing at you all the time. Oh, maybe mine ARE laughing at me. They're also really sweet & much smaller than average ducks. I still like the mango & passion fruit best, by the way. Susan

Peter - have you tried the smoothie of the month for Jan.? Lovely think pears in that, but I am still undecided on the beetroot, nicer than expected but still a bit weird!

Yay well done Fliss
(she's my cousin :) )
They are uber tasty drinks.
I recommend them.

I'm procrastinating. For the life of me I can't think how I came to be on the Innocent website, but I'm glad I did.
Innocent I love you, your expensive but oh so blimmin delicious drinks make me feel all loved up on the inside. It's like a big fruity hug (which are always the best kinds)
I like this advert too :D

Finally nailed a large carton of the new boysenberry concoction. Someone has likened it to medicine. That seems a bit harsh though I can see where they are coming from. The carton advises us not to look back, however it needs to be done to compare the two. Those hoping for a hint of the old faithful will be disappointed by the overly sweet hit, a lack of body and too much raspberry! I can't vouch for boysenberry,but my palette preferred the sourness of the old recipe. There is still that lovely 'Innocent' smoothness but as I have already said, it lacks bones. After all that negative stuff some balance is in order. If I were to rate it on it's own it is another great smoothie which I am sure I will warm to. A bit too sweet for me though.

Thanks for the review Peter. Thorough and balanced. That's what we like.
