love on a bottle

You might remember we ran a little competition a few weeks ago called WLTM (or for you acronym haters out there, Would Like To Meet)

You had to write your own WLTM ad in no more than 90 words and the best one would win pride of place on one of our bottle labels.

After sifting out the rude and slightly stalkerish entries, we managed to whittle it down to two winners.

First up was this entry, penned by Looby:

Hello. Are you normal? When I say 'normal', I mean, you know, 'normal'? Of course, it'd be nice if you have a sense of humour, some friends, a job, a car, maybe a house, aspirations, dreams, ambition etc, etc. I'd like to get married and pop out a baby before I'm 80, so if you're interested please reply to Box 36.

And then this one which was composed by Richard:

WLTM Nicole from the Renault Clio ads (circa 1992) and re-enact said ad, only with me taking Papa's place and us not being related. Feel this is a reasonable request. Please reply to Box 184.

Thanks to every one who entered and a big well done to both Looby and Richard. Keep your eyes peeled for their words of wooing on a shelf near you very soon.

Meantime, if you're still looking for love, why not GAFYK, maintain a GSOH and remember to LOL everytime someone attractive makes a joke. KWIM?

GAFYK - get away from your keyboard
GSOH - Good sense of  humour
LOL - Laugh out loud
KWIM - Know what I mean?

I think you should make this a regular fixture like the 'missing kid' adverts on US milk cartons... each flavour smoothie could have it's unique blend of WLTM ads with it. Why stop at two?

This made me ROFL (Roll On Floor Laughing) ;)

I second Deafinitely Girly's suggestion: WLTM adds on all smoothie bottles would be amazing!

[Holly]

Oh no....oh no...don't succumb to the text speak, Innocent! I'll have to...not love you quite so much.
On the whole, interesting idea though.

I thought GFYK stood for: go fly your kite... It might be the same as get away from your keyboard, only you'd need better weather. And no, I am not even in the UK but in the south of victorian australia (and yes, it is cold and drizzling).

By the way, has Innocent met the Ozzy Nudie yet (see website link)? Bet you guys would hit it off instantly (maybe one of the above ads could go on a date with Nate, the WLTM person on their little smoothie bottle)...

But Nudies best personality trait in my opinion is lychee, lemon, lime and more. Just a little idea to summer up the taste-buds...

[Leonie]

Hm, apparently my name is the Nudie link in my previous post... Innocent is not on (or planning to storm) the Ozzy market is it? so it's ok to tell about your unknown twin in Oz (or maybe you are soulmates. how about an intercontinental company date)?? I'll just make it clearer then. For even more fun and games and healthy humour from Down Under see: www.nudie.com.au

Just in case you have been through the whole innocent page 4 times. And no, I am just a funny-healthy-smoothie fan. No job at either company (even though I wish)

Hello Leonie. There's a bit of a story regarding us and Nudie.

A few years ago a man called Tim came over from Australia to talk to us about obtaining the license to run the innocent business in Oz. We were pretty excited - he seemed like a nice chap - so we started talking to Tim. He spent quite a bit of time at Fruit Towers getting to know us and the business.

After a while we had all of the legal papers drawn up, ready for Tim to become innocent. We were happy for him to carry on our good work on the other side of the world. But right at the last minute, Tim had a change of heart, decided not to sign and disappeared back off to Sydney.

Much to our surprise, a few months later a smoothie company called Nudie appeared in Australia. There were a few similarities to innocent. Things looked familiar. And the man behind Nudie? Why, Tim of course.

We learned our lesson.

Oh no ,is nothing sacred? Will you be issuing txt dictionaries with your drinks to allow anyone over 30 to decipher all the blurb . Is this Age-ist ? it makes me WTTU (want to throw up )....

Tim is nasty D:

[Michelle]

Tim is so on Santa's naughty list!

[Vics]

Tim deserves to be locked out in the Nudie for that kinda behaviour!

Great idea. I'm sure it broke ice.
