Innocent drinks

...sorry , fat thumb..very little packaging needed for oranges, apples, carrots, bananas.

My main healthy drink is tea though, I'd rather eat fruit than drink it.

• “Our mission has always been, and always will be, getting healthy drinks to people to help them live well and die old. At the moment, plastic bottles are the most sustainable way of doing that. We're on the case for making sure that plastic is treated in the right way so it has much less impact on the environment.”

Surely the most sustainable way of getting healthy drinks to people is
A) support lots of clean water projects where needed (maybe they do this? If not, why not?)
B) sell lots of fruit and veg people can make into drinks. There's very little packaging

... They've put themselves in the ridiculous position, following nearly 300k people...

If I try really hard I can just about imagine why someone would follow a company. Each to their own etc.

However, could someone explain to me why a company follows individual customers?

What's the point?

Yes, indeed, the sugary sugar in a plastic bottle company. So ethics. Much health.

This thread has suddenly taken a hilarious turn which is welcome on such a grey day.

I thank you all xx

I'm not fucking showing my genitals to a toilet inspector.

The adorable conviction of some that that's the only way you'd be able to tell.

I wonder why, if their mission has always been to get healthy drinks to people, they don't actually make healthy drinks?

So ooops right back atcha.

😂😂😂

DeaconBoo ah I was missing the picture hence my confusion

I’ve logged on the website on a different device and can now see the screenshot - thank you

I think their recycling blurb is actually worse than Coke’s because it’s based on the false premise that producing millions of plastic bottles is somehow justifiable because innocent will help people live longer.

“Our mission has always been, and always will be, getting healthy drinks to people to help them live well and die old. At the moment, plastic bottles are the most sustainable way of doing that. We're on the case for making sure that plastic is treated in the right way so it has much less impact on the environment.”

If this claim were on a bottle and not just in the policies section of their website, would it be legal?

Part of me feels a bit sorry for whoever has to Wade through the mess of the Innocent twitter feed this morning..... had a very interesting time on there yesterday.

I like to dip in and engage every now and again, to see if there is anything new, I was amazed by the four or five people I was interacting with - sheesh, ask them a question at all they immediately bring up sealioning, dogwhistles, they descend very quickly into insults - one of them asked me if I was really a man because my avatar looked like a man. They are supposed to be the trans friendly ones, but use it as an insult themselves!!

Then the crowing about 'owning my ass' and threatening to block me, being 'shadowbanned' but ha, how clever they were, how stupid I was......

Then the accusations of me spouting bile and hatred and being a hateful bigot, of course.

Led me to the conclusion that they were not adults. It would be very funny if it wasn't so scarey. These children seem to be directing policy and getting people sacked, how did that happen!? Where are the adults!????

I don't really get how they think they can trawl through every single account they follow and make sure each follower's ideas 'align' with their own.

Coca cola, who own them, produce 3 million tonnes of plastic every year, the largest producer of plastic waste in the entire world. But make sure you don't follow an old lady on twitter! Now you're the good guys!

“innocent Drinks have publicly cancelled a woman in her seventies because her views on women’s sex-based rights do not align with that of their preferred clientele.”

That’s a great article in the Critic. The writer nails it with her opening paragraph. ^

Good that the press has picked it up.

I had NO idea about the sugar! Off the list it goes.

And the Spectator https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/why-does-innocent-think-this-pensioner-is-guilty-of-transphobia-

She's caught the attention of a fair few people, it seems.

Why were Innocent following this person?

Damn, last bit was supposed to quote this

Quaagars They are saying men, as a group, do not over lap with 'trans folk', as a group

Yes, but again, where do you get they don't see trans men as men from this The misogyny I experienced is from Men. not trans folk.

Also not sure what you're referring to when you say You already outdid yourself when you asked me to explain what I mean by 'years' a few days ago in another thread

Was wondering that myself, not like she's a big account?
Then again people follow people for all kinds of reasons, as you say could quite easily have knitted them a hat lol
I mean, I follow Boris and that doesn't mean I'm a Tory.
Following people doesn't automatically mean you endorse everything they come out with.

Just a few seconds looking at who Innocent follow throws up that it includes some bloke with pornhub.com as their website in their bio.

Hmm, wonder how quick they'd be to unfollow and publicly stand up for women who have been the victims of sex trafficking/revenge porn/rape etc if someone pointed that one out to them...

Why were Innocent following this person? I’d love to know. Did she knit them a hat?

They've put themselves in the ridiculous position, following nearly 300k people, of implicitly agreeing that "following" equals "endorsing".

Most people, whatever their views, don't agree that that's necessarily the case, except some hardcore kids. When I was on Twitter I used to follow Donald Trump to see what insane shit he came out with. I certainly don't endorse anything he's said!

And someone tweeting "Boris is a tosspot" (I mean that's obviously true, but hardly politically neutral?)

But no, it's the older lady they need to distance themselves from.
