if music be the food of lunch, play on

Fancy having a Daal curry this lunch? There's a musical treat if you do.

On the inside of the new Daal veg pots there's a record player with a list of songs, all of which are related to food. So tune in, pop your veg pot in the microwave and have a sing-a-long whilst you eat.

Here is the link as well for those not having a Daal curry but who still want the tunes: www.innocentdrinks.co.uk/lunchmusic

reusing our packaging

Recycle_week

Tales of weird and wonderful ways to make use of our packaging once the contents have been enjoyed never fail to make us smile.

Apparently our veg pots make great homes for chilli plants and orchids

Our fruit tube packaging can be turned into a mirror discovery box for exploring in the garden

Juice carafes come in rather handy for impromptu games of skittles (add water to make things a bit trickier), and the caps are the perfect spot for growing just enough cress to spruce up an egg sarnie.

It also turns out that our kids' smoothie boxes are just the thing for carrying sick ducklings to the vets

And as if that wasn't enough, they make pretty nifty conveyor belts for transporting snacks from one end to the other too.

Thanks to Matt, Laura, Dominic, Emily, Ian, Mrs Barry, Minnie's mum and Craig for the photos and suggestions.

If anyone thinks they can top these, we'd love to hear from you.

We've got 10 'New Year, New You' (TM) packs to give away, packed full of good stuff to help you get back on that straight and slender path including:

  • A boxful of tasty porridge from the nice ladies at Grasshopper (to warm up the chilly mornings and get you through to lunchtime) Porridge ladies
  • An Action Diary and some uplifting pencils to keep you organised and motivated from the folk at We Are What We Do

  • And a handful of veg pot and smoothie vouchers to help you through the perilous waters of snacking and lunchtime occasions.

Add in 52 star jumps and a stir fry for tea and you're sorted.

To bagsy a box, just tell us how the best thing that has happened so far in this shiny new year.

Post your answers below by Tuesday 18th January and make 2011 the year where you eat better, do better and maybe end up looking like Joe.

Oh yes.

our veg pots are two

Yesterday, our veg pots reached the grand old age of two.

So to celebrate, we threw a party.

For lunch, you could choose from the risotto, the masala, the curry and the chilli and then to complement each pot, there was rustic Italian fare (cooked meats, olives, party rings and breadsticks),

Indian delights (paneer cheese, bhajis, party rings, nanns and chutney),

DSC07754

Exotic Thai treats (prawns, peanuts, party rings, sweet chilli sauce and tofu chunks)

or Mexican accompaniments (nachos, salsa, tabasco sauce and more party rings)

Pot love was followed by a game of Pass the Pot and Hunt the Silver Pot

Oli and Joe M then hosted a game of Pot Bingo and the National Pottery

After all the fun, we went back to our desks for a bit and then at 4pm, we all had a slice of birthday cake made by Dave's wife.

A very tasty birthday indeed.
