the bananaphone

If I had to choose one question I've been asked the most since working at innocent, it would have to be "Is there really a bananaphone?" The simple answer is yes. And although it's technically not the phone we speak into, it's what rings out to the whole of Fruit Towers. And it is shaped like a banana. In fact, this is what it looks like.

If novelty phones are your thing, you can see more here

Lots of people do ring us for a chat, and you get to speak to a real, live person too (as long as it's during office hours, we haven't quite reached a 24 hour hotline just yet).  If you would like to get in touch, the number is on the bottle.

There's even a song all about it, by a nice man called Raffi. If you like your songs fairly repetitive, you'll love this one. You can listen and indeed watch a slightly strange video with a man who isn't Raffi above.

The sad news is, however, when we were having a bit of a move around in the office, the bananaphone was put somewhere "safe." You know, like the safe place you put your Bucks Fizz limited edition record to, and then can never remember where that safe place was. It's safe, but so safe you can't find it. We'll keep hunting and fingers crossed, we'll find it again.

Dear Innocent,

Here at Skyscanner, we are big fans of your smoothies. In fact, we have a fridge which is always stocked full of your drinks, free to Skyscanner staff. (see our Facebook Office pics: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=1390476&id=9213701292 )

We love everything about Innocent - the drinks themselves, the labels, even the witty comments on the bottom of the bottles.

Just thought we'd let you know. Keep up the good work.

cheers

Hello to all at Skyscanner,

Thanks for your kind words, they're much appreciated. How great that you get Jelly Beans on tap too. I always forget which flavour is which and there's nothing worse than finding out you've got a grapefruit one when you were sure it was going to be something else.

Take care,

Row

The banana phone craze all started because of that song. "Ring ring ring banana phone".
