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.

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.

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.
