Innocent have been deliberately quirky right from the introduction of their brand and associated drinks.
This Christmas, bottles of innocent smoothies are once again being decorated with knitted hats. You’ll find bottles wrapped up warm for the winter this year in Sainsburys and EAT outlets.
Last Thursday's lunchtime treat pictured on the right.
Innocent’s website explains:
"Earlier this summer, we got our knitting needles out and with the help of those nimbled fingered knitters at Age Concern we got to work to knit 175,000 little woolly hats.
Why, you ask? Well, it’s simple. Almost 25,000 older people died of cold-related illnesses last winter, so we think that it’s really important for us to do our bit to help keep them warm over the cold winter months.
So, for a limited period only, these dinky little woolly hats will sit on the top of our innocent smoothie bottles ... and for each hat-wearing smoothie sold, we [Innocent Drinks] will donate 50p to Age Concern.
We’ve actually reached nearly 220,000 hats. That equates to £110,000 to help keep older people nice and cosy when it’s cold outside."
They even made a short film about the knitting and posted it to YouTube! Check out the previous hats of the week.
