It's all about the green.....

scroll down to today's question to win the green goodies

Paddy’s festivalhas begun so we’re going all green from now until March 18th. Now before you say we don’t know our bottoms from our funny bones and that Paddy’s day is actually on March 17th no need to worry, we know that, we’re just extending the green this year……you’ll see what we mean next week.

Everyday from now till next Thursday there’s a little collection of innocent goodies* up for the taking with all sorts of green stuff to be won including little bottles of our kiwis, apples and limes smoothie...

 

* Goodies: green innocent hoodie, green innocent t-shirt, case of kiwis, apples and limes smoothies, wee-ometer and an innocent shopper.

To win we’ll be testing your greenness, Irishness, inventiveness, canniness and any other ‘ness’ we can think of in the next 7 days.

march 12th

So to get the ball rolling, one box of green goodies to be won today for the best limerick posted to comments here on the blog.  Bonus points awarded for using some of these words: smoothie, squeezie, fruit or green.

Here’s one for inspiration:

A sweet Irish lassie named Rose
Liked to feel the grass with her toes
She was taken by surprise
and could not believe her eyes
When her toes turned green as her clothes.

Good Luck.

March 12th Winner:
 
We are pretty impressed with how creative (and clean) the limericks are. Tough choice but the winner today is Jennifer.

There once was a girl called Ruby,
Who used green fruit to whip up a smoothie,
But she forgot the blender cover,
Now she and her mother,
Will be cleaning the kitchen 'til Tuesday

Well done Jennifer, email your details to howaya@innocentdrinks.ie and we will send out your goodies.

Now which one could it be...

March 13th Winner:

Correct answer is Papa Smurf because he is blue and we are all about green at the moment. (Although Wendy, Chris and Mandy all have a point).

The winner is Michael O'Neill. Well done Michael, send us your details to howaya@innocentdrinks.ie.

Complete the missing word from this famous Irish folk singers song by posting it to comments below. If you get it right you're in the draw for the green goodies. Oh the excitement...

The answer of course is black. Although being the day that's in it some of you suggested that maybe just for today it should be green. All right answers went into the draw and the lucky winner is Ciaran Murphy. Well done Ciaran. Send us your details to howaya@innocentdrinks.ie and we'll arrange to get your goodies to you.

March 17th

Happy Paddy's Day everyone. It's pimp my smoothie day and our two green smoothies are dressed for the occasion in style....

They might look good but they don't have names yet. So can you name them for us? Best name wins the green goodies. 

Good Luck.

March 17th winner...

Well done Margaret King we love your name suggestions: Cleopatrick and St Vincent de Innocent. Send us your details to howaya@innocentdrinks.ie 

March 18th - today's question....

It's our last day of giveaways so we're going all out. Today's winner gets the green goodies in the picture at the top of the post, and we have an innocent t-shirt and some kiwis apples and limes smoothies for two runners up as well. We love spoiling you.

So without further ado to win the good stuff all you have to do is tell us what you did for Paddy's day yesterday. All answers will go into the final draw.

Good Luck.

March 18th winners...

Here they are, the last winners of the green competition.

Runners up - Gillian, who managed to get 40 photos of people dressed as leprechauns (what will you do with those photos Gillian, a lovely collage?). Second runner up is poor Richard who got no green exposure at all on Paddy's Day because he had to work.

Winner: John O'Brien, who had a very active Paddy's Day dressed as The Hulk and has a winning Mammy.

Well done to all the winners, please email us your details to howaya@innocentdrinks.ie so we can send you your prizes.

A young carefree Welshman called Pat
Cane to Ireland along with his cat
Said-I love it here
I'll stay and brew beer
It'll make me all famous and fat!

[Ally]

There once was a fruit which when queezy,
Discovered its colour was green~y.
It shook and it rattled but none of this mattered
For its pips showed that IT was a kiwi.

[Sandra Williams]

Innocent are giving away green hoodies
And lot's of other goodies
And a smoothie that's green
To try I am keen
So I can recommend it to my buddies!

[Emer Landers]

A kiwi, apple and lime smoothie,
Making getting your five-a-day easy.
It's got tons of yum fruit,
And with all this to boot,
It's Innocent, Irish and green!

[David Stevens]

A nice green smoothie from innocent,
That contains some fruity deliciousness,
Accompanying the smoothies are goodies,
That even contain some hoodies.

[Genevieve]

A scrummy beverage for you, see
When thirsty or especially choosy,
Kept in the fridge for a time,
It's especially fine,
A squeezie green Innocent fuit smoothie!xo

[Jacqueline Wogan]

Refreshing, ambitious, and oh so nutritious
Green goodness from nature, we were all mighty suspicious
Innocent smoothies and parents are in cahoots
Teaching Ireland to eat their fruits
Who would have thought 5 a day could be so delicious!

There once was a girl called Ruby,
Who used green fruit to whip up a smoothie,
But she forgot the blender cover,
Now she and her mother,
Will be cleaning the kitchen 'til Tuesday

There was a young man got too lean
and his face was a festival green
But when he had a squeezie
He wasn't so sneezie
And the fruit gave him back his old sheen

Green as green does

Innnocent makes everybody
