Not so innocent

So, Innocent have sold 20% of themselves to Coca-Cola. That's right, Coca-Cola! One fifth of the profit from each innocent smoothie now belongs to one of the least innocent corporations in the world.

Why?
Innocent have a bad case of the growth bug. They are a very successful company, but they are not satisfied. They want to take Europe and they have chosen to use Coca-Cola's dirty money and experience in aggressive marketing to do it.

Read this excellent piece by Take the Red Pill, see Mark Thomas' response and leave your comments below.

  3. I've had Innocent smoothies before ... but don't tend to these days partly as they're overpriced! That said, I've seen worse....
