It's Tuesday, it's cold, I've got a cold and we've found some excellent CDs. Would you like to win them? We'll throw in a big box of drinks too.
Simply complete the following sentence and post it as a comment, and we'll pick our favourite:
"Tuesday is clearly better than Wednesday because..."
Good luck.
------- Update ----------
This competition is now closed.
We'll be announcing the winner to our family in our Wednesday 31st newsletter. Thanks for the hundreds of great entries, we never thought that Tuesday being better than Wednesday could be so compellingly justified.
And if you really want to know who won, it was Kevin, who said that "Tuesday is clearly better than Wednesday because...because Arnold told me. And Arnold's never wrong. Except when he confuses the dog with an oven glove...ooohhh."
---------------------------
I can just remember the weekend still!!!

(and living in the present is best)

... Tuesday is a snoozeday, Wednesday is a trendday. Snoozing is easier than trends.

Tuesday is clearly better than Wednesday because...the word Tuesday came from 'Thor's day' and Wednesday from 'Woden's day'.
Woden may have been the norse god of knowledge but Thor had the POWER!
And thus, Tuesday is better.
Not that I'm dissing knowledge or anything...after all, if I didn't like it, I wouldn't know about anything I just said...

...because tonight i'm playing samba to 30,000 people in the middle of a cold football stadium, and i won't be doing that on wednesday.

You're over the blues that the weekend's gone, and views of a great week are on the horizon!
(Wanna know something nearly as bad as my reply above? The fact that the only artist I recognise from the CDs is Neil Young!)
Posted by: Darragh | October 23, 2007 at 10:45 AM
Tuesday is clearly better than Wednesday because Tuesday offers us the chance to win music AND smoothies, a winning combination if ever I heard one. Besides, Wednesday is commonly known as 'hump day' (because you've gotten over the 'hump' of the week, not because of THAT - get your mind out of the gutter!) which means on Tuesday we are still climbing up the hump which is better for our fitness and general health. As are smoothies. So it's obvious really. :o)
Posted by: Renee Boyer-Willisson | October 23, 2007 at 10:47 AM
And not to annoy Christine above, but I'm pretty sure _Thursday_ was named after Thor, while Tuesday is named after Tiw, God of War. But your point still stands I think!
Posted by: Renee Boyer-Willisson | October 23, 2007 at 10:51 AM
Tuesday is clearly better than Wednesday because it is sunny.
Posted by: Rob | October 23, 2007 at 11:00 AM
Tuesday is clearly better thjan wednesday because Wednesday is nicknamed hump day.....and that just gets confusing ;)
Posted by: sallie | October 23, 2007 at 11:06 AM
Tuesday is clearly better than Wednesday because, because, because, because, because of the wonderful things it does.

An innocent question I ask
Why should weekdays be taken to task?
If you're cold or you're blue,
Get some soup into you
You can bring it to work in a flask!

It's closer to the weekend, albeit with the wrong polarity.
Posted by: Tom | October 23, 2007 at 12:28 PM
It's easier to spell. I always lose a 'd' in the middle of Wenesday. See.
Posted by: Relly | October 23, 2007 at 12:35 PM
Tuesday is clearly better than Wednesday because...
Well, maybe it is and maybe it isn't, who am I to make that call? If we favour Tuesday over Wednesday won't Wednesday get jealous? And we can't be having that, it could lead to all sorts of kerfuffles. All days are as good as each other...except for Thursdays of course, I could never get the hang of Thursdays as Arthur Dent once said.

...on Wednesday's the leprecon comes to see me. He tells me to do bad things.
Posted by: wayne | October 23, 2007 at 01:08 PM

Posted by: Sarah | October 23, 2007 at 01:11 PM
I dont care! Innocent Smoothies rule :)?
Posted by: Anton Christodoulou | October 23, 2007 at 01:15 PM
...because there are only 4 hours until home time and Wednesday is a whole new day with 8.5hours of work, so today makes us closer to play!
Posted by: Hannah-Jane Chambers | October 23, 2007 at 01:28 PM
my lecture for today got cancelled and I'm seeing a lovely band tonight and have no lectures in the morning.
None of this applies to wednesday.
WEDNESDAY FTL.

Posted by: Rosie | October 23, 2007 at 02:06 PM
Tuesday has a 'T' and a 'U' in it, and T(ea) with (yo)U is always good.
Posted by: lottie | October 23, 2007 at 02:08 PM
Tuesday is better than wednesday because if it were wednesday i would be wondering where tuesday went and would also be a day late meeting my friend for dinner. she wouldnt be happy, so for her sake, its better to be tuesday.
Posted by: colin | October 23, 2007 at 02:34 PM
Tuesday is better then Wednesday because today you have given us innocent fans the opportunity to win something nice. Which means that the lucky winner will not only be able to practice their dancing moves with some new tracks but also have a full fridge of innocent smoothies .....what a beautiful view!!
Abracadabra, Abracadabra please let it be me : -)
Posted by: Letizia | October 23, 2007 at 02:57 PM
Tuesday in better than Wednesday because if I win today I will have lots of music to play, lots of smoothies to drink which will start to make me think!
Ahhh, I need the fruit boost to wake me up.
Posted by: Hannah-Jane Chambers | October 23, 2007 at 03:20 PM
Tuesday is clearly better than Wednesday because I have a nasty deadline on Friday aaaaahhhhh!!!!!

so Tuesdays have got to be way better than Wednesdays!
Posted by: Sarah Kimberly | October 23, 2007 at 05:02 PM
I discovered Innocent drinks on a Tuesday, and I found out there was no Innocent in my country on a Wednesday.
Posted by: Suncana | October 23, 2007 at 08:14 PM
Tuesday is still roughly the start of the week and that means i have more smoothies to enjoy before wednesday
Posted by: Pooja | October 23, 2007 at 11:33 PM
..because Tuesday is more likely to come up in a game of Boggle, clearly.
Posted by: Simon | October 24, 2007 at 12:42 AM
Tuesday is clearly better than Wednesday simply because it starts with T.
T is way cooler than W.
(Example: Mr T from A Team)
Posted by: Ozgur Inceogullari | October 24, 2007 at 08:57 AM
I'm sorry, but you're all barking up the wrong tree here: everyone knows Wednesdays are better because they're one day closer to the weekend!

Because in the words of Lennon and Mccartney:
"Monday's on the phone to Sunday and Tuesday's on the phone to me !" No mention of Wednesday so Tuesday's got to be better.
Posted by: Big D | October 24, 2007 at 10:38 AM
Tuesdays are clearly better than Wednesdays beacuse both Christamas Day and New Years day fall on Tuesdays this year, which means two of the groggiest days of my year are on Wednesdays. Besides which if your born on a Wednesday your "full of woe" id much rather be full of grace!
Animal Collective - Amazing!
Posted by: Nick | October 24, 2007 at 10:50 AM
Tuesday is clearly better than Wednesday because yesterday was Tuesday and it was a good day. And I bought smoothies. Today is Wednesday and I have a cold. And Wednesday is one less day to Thursday which is the worst day because I have a dentist appointment, a flu jab and a doctors appointment. And after all that I will need smoothies to cheer me up but I have no money. So Tuesday is definitely the best day.
Posted by: Victoria | October 24, 2007 at 11:04 AM
Tuesday is clearly better than Wednesday because I said so!

Posted by: Helen Stevens | October 24, 2007 at 12:29 PM
because next time its tuesday... its one day away from payday?

Tuesday is clearly better than Wednesday because...I was still at home doing Extreme DIY (fitting the bathroom with my husband), and we got most of the shower installed - Hooray!
Posted by: Jo | October 24, 2007 at 12:35 PM
Tuesday is better than Wednesday because my Mum calls me Ruben-Tuesday and sings 'So long Ruben-Tuesday' when the Rolling Stones are on....it would be even worse if she called me Ruben-Wednesday :)
Posted by: Ruben Pender | October 24, 2007 at 12:36 PM
Tuesday is better than Wednesday because of the oooh which reminds me of smooth...tuesday, smoothsday, smoothie day - hooray hooray !!
Posted by: Bella | October 24, 2007 at 12:38 PM
Tuesdays is better than Wednesdays because my boss leaves at lunch-time which leaves me the whole afternoon to surf the Innocent website and generally be a bit naughty!
Posted by: Jeni | October 24, 2007 at 12:38 PM
there's one more day to drink lovely innocent smoothies this week-and as anticipation is everything(and Wednesday is pretty good too)I can spend Tuesday getting excited about Wednesday.I know this means Monday is better than Tuesday etc.,which means last Wednesday is better than this Tuesday,but nostalgia is a wonderful thing.
Posted by: Steve Hughes | October 24, 2007 at 12:41 PM
Tuesday is still the beginning of the week, a lot of time in hand to plan for rest of the week and the weekend ahead while Wednesday being the mid point, the week is already half gone!
Posted by: Nihal24 | October 24, 2007 at 12:43 PM
Tuesday, Chews-day, choose-day, choo chooo choooooosday. parp parp!
Posted by: Kate | October 24, 2007 at 12:43 PM
Tuesday just is better than Wednesday, so there. It's bigger too, and sunnier, and sexier, and happier, and more likely to share it's chocolate with you, and it knows how to boogie, and it can do a Fiendish Sodoku in under 5 minutes, and it always puts it dirty socks in the wash, and its Mum makes the best Shepherds Pie. Ever. Anyway, Wednesday owes me a fiver too.
Posted by: David Estall | October 24, 2007 at 12:45 PM
Tuesday is clearly better than Wednesday because yesterday I didn't have a cold, and today I do. Although today I am drinking a superfoods smoothie: guavas, mangos & goji berries YUM YUM hoping it will make me better. Innocent smoothies make everything better :)
Q. How do you get a blonde to laugh at a joke on Saturday?
A. Tell it to her on Tuesday.

Tuesday is clearly better than Wednesday because Wednesday being mid week and pessimistic spends its whole day looking back at how good Tuesday was!
Posted by: mark h | October 24, 2007 at 12:59 PM
Tuesday is better than Wednesday because the person running the competition has a cold and probably feels even worse as the cold progresses (sore nose, poor sleep, etc). Get well soon - maybe you should claim the crate of smoothies to recover from that cold!
Posted by: Sara Turner | October 24, 2007 at 01:01 PM
On Tuesday you have the pleasure of doing everything you do on Tuesday AND the enjoyment of looking forward to Wednesday. On Wednesday the day doesn't live up to it's hype.
Posted by: Chris Tomlinson | October 24, 2007 at 01:03 PM
Because Spooks is on the telly and there is nothing innocent about them.
Posted by: Mad | October 24, 2007 at 01:04 PM
wednesday is halfway through the week and you think "Blah is only halfway through the week". whereas tuesday you think "theres loads of the week left" so this means u get your head down and it is more productive.
Posted by: Edward Gould | October 24, 2007 at 01:04 PM
...it's not Monday!
Posted by: Holly Mahoney | October 24, 2007 at 01:08 PM
Tuesday is clearly better than Wednesday because there were several chocolate bars in my fridge. By Wednesday, they were gone!
Posted by: Katie | October 24, 2007 at 01:10 PM
tuesday is scientifically proven to be the most productive day of the week, (unless you are spanish/greek in which case tuesday is an unlucky day so it might just be better to sit still and not attempt things)
Posted by: Katie | October 24, 2007 at 01:11 PM
...because I go to running club on Tuesdays and run 6 miles. That is fun (for me!). Wednesdays I hurt!

Wednesday is the best ever day for sending out your electronic information, people are happy it is mid-week, and feeling positive looking foward to the weekend, great combination to recieve info.

...Wednesday Addams is full of woe.
Also Wednesday looks funny when you see it typed lots of times.
Posted by: Clairey | October 24, 2007 at 01:15 PM
Tuesday has got to be better than Wednesday as it has less letters , takes less time to type or write, so must be more eco friendly !
Posted by: Diane | October 24, 2007 at 01:16 PM
Tuesday is clearly better than Wednesday because... I said so. Yes I just said I said so. Dont argue with me otherwise I will become so mad that.. that I poke you, so nerrr. you wouldnt like that would you. Mwahaha. Oh alright then. Tuesday is better than wednesday because on tuesdays mr.zog comes down from planet sporadiccabbages and we dance around the may pole then go to the pub. Wednesday.. I wake up naked with a hang over, on top of mr.zogs flying saucer whilst going through space! Tis rather chilly up there. It is cold. Cos I said so. So nerrr.

Tuesday is better than Wednesday because it is liberation from Monday.
Posted by: Maha | October 24, 2007 at 01:27 PM
Tuesday is better than Wednesday because I get my email from Innocent, its a nice ten minute read where I can forget about my work and worries and involve myself with quirky competitions and talk of bananas :)
Posted by: Gemma | October 24, 2007 at 01:29 PM
Tuesday is actually better than Wednesday because. . . .
I can usually spell this in Scrabble - Wednesday is too long.

Posted by: Anna Jones | October 24, 2007 at 01:33 PM
Tuesday is better than Wednesday because on Tuesday, the week still has potential and possibility. If you haven't got it together by Wednesday, the week is all over already.
Posted by: Jade | October 24, 2007 at 01:34 PM
Tuesday is actually better than Wednesday because. . . . it's the day I purchased my first house! WOO!

Tuesday is better than Wednesday because Spooks is on at 9. Rupert Penry Jones, a cup of tea and a choccy biscuit. Lovely.
Posted by: Aimi | October 24, 2007 at 01:34 PM
Tuesday is clearly better than Wednesday because in America shrove tuesday is known as mardi gra and Ash Wednesday because they have eaten or drunk themselves sick on Shrove Tuesday
Posted by: Chris Pugh | October 24, 2007 at 01:35 PM
because if your name is Wednesday then people are always saying your name throughout the day, which would be really annoying if you are nearby because you would keep on thinking they were calling your name, especially if you were hoping to have a little siesta at work and you'd get paranoid that others had noticed you'd fallen asleep...so obviously Tuesday would be a better day and a better day for a siesta at work....

"Tuesday is clearly better than Wednesday because..."
..my disposable contact lenses needed replacing on Tuesday, but due to the postal strike, I didn't get replacements for Wednesday, making Tuesday clearly better!

Because, next Monday is further away than is is on Wednesday, and surly that has got to be good right!
Posted by: Hannah | October 24, 2007 at 01:43 PM

i have more free time on a tuesday leaving me to do what's really important in life, pick the stapler (my hair brush substitute at work) whack on a cheesy song (anything by erasure, mr. collins or dolly parton tends to do the trick), sing my heart out & invite all others to do the same!!! :-)
