trapped in bottle factory, send help
Back in January this year we asked our drinkers if they could think of anything funny to put on the hidden messages bit of the bottom of our bottles. And you did, 1,594 times to be exact. So we choose our favourite seven messages and sent them to our friends at the bottle factory to go on our new 100% recycled bottles.
I kind of forgot about this story until Charlie told us via our facebook page that he'd come across the 'trapped in bottle factory, send help' one on the train which made him smile. So I've had a root through the fridge and found a real life one which made me smile on reading it again. You can see all the other six messages here.
Look out for them in the shops*.
*If you're rooting through a shops shelves to find the funny ones please leave it nice and tidy afterwards, we don't want to get in trouble with our shop keeper. And if someone asks you what on earth you're doing tell them about our hidden message story, people seem to like it once they know. It's like a secret club.
Hey, that was my one! Time to nip out to the shops to buy one for posterity :)

Get a couple for the grandkids as well Iain. It's not everyday of the week you're immortalised on millions of 100% recycled plastic smoothie bottles.
Well it is everyday of the week now but it wasn't a while ago, if you see what we mean.

I got trapped in a chocolate factory at night recently. Honestly, it's not as much fun as it sounds - it's quite chilly, though I suppose does have obvious advantages over a bottle factory. I could have done with one of those smoothies though!

Yey! I got a mention in the daily thoughts ^_^
Whoop!

Keep it up :D
Oh! And will you's be stocking Veg pots in the north east? Honestly, I've tried WH Smiths, asda, the Co-Op everywhere... can't find them! :(

Hello Charlie
Veg pots are in Waitrose and Sainsbury's at the moment, and Tesco in the New Year. That's where you'll find them.
