You might have seen on our website or this very blog that we've launched our very orange juice this week and to celebrate, we're got three crates to give away.
Just tell us about the orangest thing you've ever seen.
Here's some ideas from people in Fruit Towers to get you started.
What's the orangest thing you've every seen?
Cass - The sunset over the Karoo in South Africa.
Gurdeep - Japanese orange dog food. It's not made from oranges. Just coloured that way.
Andrew D - Andrew B's post fete forehead. The man who knows how to work tan.
Post your entries below by Monday 11th August and this time next week, you could be getting ready to treat your street to a glass of the finest orange juice money can buy (provided you live on a rather short street)
(Competition now closed. Thanks to everyone who entered. Well done to Vickie, Daisy C and Sarah S. Cartons of our very fine OJ on their way to you now)
I had an orange toe nail once. It wasnt ment to be orange but a horse named tom trod on it and wouldnt get off. It went orange, and the doctor removed it while i was looking the other way. I was allowed to keep it and its in my loft somewhere!

This is a bit disgusting..but I'm afraid it was my sick after one too many orange reefs as a teenager. I never knew sick could have such a bright and vivid colour.

I think Red Leicester cheese is pretty orange, failing that orange Smarties are a sure contender!

The "Orange Flame" a unique orange diamond, very big, one of a kind.
Scientists don't know what turns diamonds orange - they just do. Well very few of them, and almost none as big and orange as the "orange flame"!
A bit like innocent smoothies and what makes them so good! Who cares what the secret is, they're good, and that's that!
I did the taste test, drinking Innocent v. competitor's brand, same fruits on the label. No comparison! Innocent rocks.
Disclaimer: OK, so I hope flattery will get me a prize Innocent orange juice... but the fact I am flattering you doesn't mean it's not true. I did do the test, and Innocent just rules. I remember your first few bottles, little ones, appearing in just a few lucky, and slightly random shops. The taste and the sense of humour made me a fan even then. Good on ya.

When I returned home one evening to find our tiny bathroom had been re-decorated using Dulux's "mandarin suprize" colour emulsion. 'Surprize' was definately the operative word, and sunglasses were obligatory!

Surely it has to be a delicious carton of Innocent Orange Juice? ^^ Being held by any member of Liberty X... At a point in time where tangerine is the new black :)

The most orange thing i've ever seen was myself in the mirror 5 mins before the show I was in after letting the make-up team loose... I did my own make up after that!

The fans crammed into Bloomfield Rd (Blackpool FC)on a Saturday is definitely the orangest thing I've ever seen!!!( although they call it a delicate tangerine!)

My daughter : when I woke up after testing some 'organic' rum and her Dad had bought her the new Chelsea kit. Now that's ORANGE!

me and my friend steve had a picnic outside costcutter the other day.
we randomly met whilst topping up our phones [we're both on orange] and then we stopped and chatted and decided to have a picnic so we bought jaffa cakes, satsumas and your smoothie of the month, which is very orangey itself.
Posted by: mike h | August 06, 2008 at 08:54 PM
Well the orangeist thing Ive seen was an orange... That isnt very creative is it? Errm... the orange was called Marmaduke and he took part in swimming tournatments in his spare time. What else could be more orange than an orange!
Posted by: wurlyearly | August 06, 2008 at 08:55 PM
Oh, ive changed my mind; the orangest thing ive seen now is the pingpong balls in this weeks new-letter-links.

The city of Amsterdam on Koninginnedag (Queens Day) is the orangest thing in the whole world, bar none. And it's also the most fun, thing too. I'm sure your Amsterdam office know all about it!

The dining room in my previous house- it had light and dark orange striped wallpaper, and an orange man-made fibre carpet - which used to give you static shocks!

The orangiest thing I've ever seen is several of my colleagues gathered in one place, all wearing their glowing bright orange Explainer shirts.
But the little aprons we provide for kids playing in our water area are pretty orangey too.
We are extremely orange and also very thirsty - from all the Explaining we do all day. Please share your lovely Innocent orange juice with us so that we can be as orange on the inside as we are on the outside!
p.s. sometimes you give away free smoothies on Exhibition Rd and we always try and scurry out to get some. Thanks for sharing - you are very kind. We like your funny, furry, greeny-grassy van too.

The sauce at a Chinese 'eat as much as you like' buffet in London where my friends and I were having post exam eats. If it wasn't luminous we wouldn't eat it! Upon contact with human skin it stained it such a vibrant orange even washing wouldn't get it off!

Posted by: Emma Argyle | August 06, 2008 at 09:45 PM
My friend Jaz in a band called Tankus the Henge, their slogan is that Orange is the New Black, and at gigs, the crowd is always just a mass of people wearing crazy Tankus orange Tee-Shirts, with orange glo-sticks in their hair, and orange paint on their faces. Brilliant!
Orange is the new Black!!

When I was in my 20s I used to henna my hair. Usually it came out OK, but one one occasion I used a different brand of dye and instead of my hair being strawberry blonde, I looked like a chestnut horse! In fact my hiar matched the fur on my friends horse exactly! It was a great source of amusement to my friend

My youngest daughter about 1 week after she was born. She looked like she'd been tangoed!!! She had jaundice but instead of turning yellow she turned orange!

Ross in Friends when he got his tan and it got SO orange it was hilarious. I haven't ever seen a tan as orange as that. I'm sure thats as orange as things get, mightly hilarious!

The orange shirt I almost bought for work (instead I went for a bright lime green) ... makes me stand out in the office ... should really have got the orange one too hmmm.
Oh, on that note, fancy making a smoothy with a squeeze of lime? ;o)
Posted by: Anton | August 06, 2008 at 10:44 PM
The Clockwork Orange was way ORANGE with bits! Whilst Orange County lacked the substance for me - well each to their own, but I'm more of a Pulp fiction man...
Posted by: James | August 06, 2008 at 10:48 PM
The orangest thing i've ever seen was when i dyed my hair 'copper'- after hours of having my head wrapped in cling film, the first sight in the mirror afterwards was as orange as orange gets.
Posted by: Poppy | August 06, 2008 at 10:48 PM
innocent orange juice..., not really.
HALLOWEEN, when there are pumpkins and orange stuff is everywhere! AND MY FRIENDS HAIR (it is natural by the way)!!!!

The most amazing Orange sight: the amazing uniform of orange craziness worn by the Dutch football fans wherever their team play. The stand is a mass of all manner of very orange shirts, wigs, hats, overalls and shoes. Orange face paint daubed on (even more orange than a celeb bottle-based tan).
Posted by: J Peak | August 06, 2008 at 11:37 PM

My white t shirt and then my fingers when I brushed past some lilies, got covered in pollen and tried to wipe it off. The stain is indelible!

When i was 8 me and my friend went trick or treating. He dressed up as a pumpkin. He was ridiculously orange, Orange face, orange flares (where did they come from?!?) and an orange jumper of his mums stuffed with pillows.
I was well impressed, i only put on a pair of devil horns....

Probably Easy Cinema in Milton Keynes. and a second time, once I'd had my retinas fixed. Looking at it a third time would be too expensive.
Also, does 'door-hinge' count as a rhyming word for 'orange'?

the glasgow subway: orange ticket machiness, orange pass holders, orange signs, old orange subway cars with orange upholstery and all of this accessorised by bottles (full and empty) of Irn Bru...that's a lot of orange especially at 6:45 in the morning.

Just like Simon on of the orangest thing I have seen was my colleague after she had a fake tan. Was especially funny as she was adamently denying she had applied a fake tan and it was real. We were a bit dubious naturally as the west coast of Scotland isn't exactly renowned for it's exotic weather..

Oranges oranges all around
and not a drop to drink
But innocent have solved that now
What else? Now let me think
Fake tan, orange creams,
Orange jeans and tangerines,
Terry’s chocolate orange balls,
Could be the orangest of them all.
What about orange toes?
Or orange bogeys from your nose?
A bit unhealthy, you’ll agree
Right down to granny’s orange teeth (eurgh)
All these things are pretty orange,
As is this very poem,
But the orangest thing what so ever
My favourite orange drink forever…
Has to be that innocent juice,
So fruity and juicy and fabulous!
