Our lovely juice carafe's first birthday is coming up, and to celebrate we'd like to dedicate a nice poem to it.

Not being great poets ourselves (see below if you need further proof), we'd love you to have a go at coming up with a fitting tribute. It needs to start with the line "It’s our juice carafe’s first birthday", and it should follow the rhyming pattern ABABCDCD, so you might want to avoid sticking an orange at the end of a line. A little bit like the one below, but much, much better:

It’s our juice carafe’s first birthday,
And we’re planning a bit of a do,
We’ll probably play some reggae,
And dance a little bit too.
Someone will bake a big cake,
Hopefully with jam and cream,
Then we’ll all be too stuffed to stay awake,
So we’ll fall asleep and dream.

Leave your poem as a comment to this post and the 3 we like most will each win a case of our finest juice. We'll be picking the winners on Thursday February 2nd so get your entries in by the end of the day on Wednesday.

This competition is now closed. Thanks to everyone who entered and congratulations to Lydia, Paulme and Becky. A case of our juice will be on its way to you shortly.

Today is National Apple Day

So go and celebrate by eating one

STOP PRESS. STOP PRESS. STOP PRESSING.

Right this instant.

Put down the apples, step away from the juicer and remove yourself from the kitchen theatre immediately because our apple juice is now available in little 330ml bottles.

You can find them in NISA and McColls stores right now, Starbucks from next week and Sainsbury’s from the start of November.

We’re so giddy with excitement that we’ve got 10 cases to give away.

All you need to do win one is tell us your best apple joke below.

And if you're very lucky, you might even get a signed photo of Janel, our resident opera singer and all round angel

Maybe.

Post your jokes by Monday 10th October and we'll announce the winners here next week.

This competition is now closed. Thanks to everyone who entered. Big congratulations to Stephen P, Christine S, Andrena, Karen, Di, Clive, Rach, Jayne, Sara and Louise. Cases of apple juice winging their way to you very soon.

We ran a caption competition last month asking you to tell us what words should accompany our lemur on our next round of orange and apple juice labels. After a side-splitting session reading through all the suggestions we eventually selected Leyla's caption as our winner (you can see the rest of our favourites here).

We were so impressed with the quality of the captions first time round that we thought we'd run the competition again, and give you all another chance to try your hand at becoming a published innocent writer.

So, you know the drill - what is this sheep thinking, saying, or playing at?

Just post your caption as a comment below, and we'll announce the winner in a few weeks' time. The top ten runners up will each get a load of innocent goodies, and the winning caption will be printed on our juice labels alongside the sheep this summer, and read by gazillions* of people. Fact.

**Competition now extended to Wednesday 11th May** Good luck.

*last time we checked, gazillion wasn't a real number, but who's counting?

A few weeks ago we announced our competition to get your words on our juice labels. All you had to do was provide us with a caption to go under this little guy.

First up, here's a selection of runners-up:

"First to blink loses." by Lilly Potter

"I am so excited right now. Just look at my face...so excited." by Tom

"When I get out of here I'm going to find a nice spot in the country, work the land, and grow old with my wife." by Tom Pryke

"That's it. Keep working that mysterious look. She'll notice yo- yep, she's spotted you, you handsome devil, you" by Hannah bates

"Paul couldn’t hide the fact he thought holding a giant cucumber for the photo shoot was absolutely ridiculous." Dudley.

"One final turn, now hold it, hold it and you've nailed the part, you rascal." by Adam Justice

"Quick, look busy, David Attenborough's coming." by Julie Ramsden

"And by the way, when I said your tail was the longest I've ever seen? I was lying." by Sarah

"Yeah, actually you did wake me up" by Rob Falconer

"You looking at me? YOU LOOKING AT ME?? Ah, wait, that's a mirror." by Amebeecomps

Now, drum-roll please. And the winner is Leyla, with the following:

"Between 10 and 5 they said. It is now 5.30."

Congratulations everyone, we'll be in touch with every runner-up and Leyla to send you each some innocent prizes. Watch this space for our next caption competition.
