We love your drinks. We think they are fab and much more exciting than munching on an apple. We would just like to thank you for inventing these wonderful drinks, so thank you from the bottom of our bottoms! Keep up the good work!

Beautiful people at Fruit Towers. Just a quick fax to thank you for the most fabulously gorgeous drinks in the world, anywhere ever. WARNING : They're dangerously addictive. I can't stop myself from drinking them. My husband & kids have left, my house has been repossessed. But I love you anyway. Thank you and don't stop making what I need.

I have a crappy part-time job in a local supermarket, and when they make me work long crap hours cos I'm the cheapest worker, reading your bottles is one of the only thing that lightens the day (That and when people buy KY jelly and condoms.) Keep up the good work.

Wow, fantastic. A recent promotion in Safeway lead me to sample four amazing drinks in your range. My taste buds exploded with excitement when I tried each flavour. I couldn't decide which one I liked best and must give them equal marks. I am a fan. In future your drinks will certainly be on my shopping list. I couldn't wait to tell my husband on my return and insisted he sampled the delights of innocent. They are a little pricey, but consider their quality, flavour and health aspect a worthy contender in my shopping trolley ... My family and I are great fans.

I have seen the light ... Till recently I was an innocent virgin. The world will never be the same again. I have been seduced by those passionate flavours, so fresh, so smooth and so mouth wateringly scrumptious. I know not how I survived before my introduction to this wonderful drink. The world can never ever be the same again, I have succumbed ...... I'm in heaven!

Congratulations on your wonderful product. The innocent range of fruit drinks is the finest in the country. The quality is superb, the taste is just heaven, and value is second to none. When the Queen's Jubilee took place, our little road had a street party and I was put in charge of drinks. Well, I used rather a lot of innocent. No one had tasted it before, but they were all raving how good it was, and I got lots of thank you's for my selection. Not one drop was left. It truly is a wonderful creation. Yes, we have tried all the other makes, but the least said about them the better. I just had to write to thank you for your superior product, and I can assure you of our continued custom. Your drinks are magic.

Hello. Just thought I would add my little bit of homage to the huge pile of adoring emails you surely receive every day. I was first drawn to your drinks by, of course, the labels and colours - the other companies have tried a bit, but you have made yours much, much nicer and the paper on your labels is a satisfying creamy colour, and your tops are enriched with sparkly gold bits, and your logo is so much cuter. (see, told you - homage) Then I read the labels, and squealed with delight, attracting the attention of lots of 30-something dads in the sainsbo's aisles (who were sliding around behind their trolleys pretending to be shopping, but really surfing for a bit of supermarket lurve - you know, flirtatious smiles by the nappies, that kind of silly thing) (which is the reason why I always put on lipstick when I go there - even if I'm just popping in for a bit of organic broccoli, or a snug little pack of 2 individual sticky toffee puddings, or, of course, a basketful of smoothies). Anyhow: what nice labels you have! honestly. a couple of tears squeezed out and down my cheeks when I followed the asterisk by 'may separate' and then read that mummy still loved (it chokes me now, even to write about it) daddy. Being divorced myself, I am absurdly receptive to any suggestion that there is a pink fluffy world of sweetness and light somewhere out there, and boy did it make me buy a smoothie! and now to the taste. I had, it has to be said, previously tainted my lips with other people's 'smoothies' - and found them always a bit too one way or the other. Too sweet, too thick, too runny, too much banana - you know, just not quite right. They were ok, they sort of did the job, but only because I didn't know any better - and I still kept on dreaming that one day, one day my quiet trust wd be rewarded and I'd discover the true perfection that, hope against hope, I clung to ... First I tried cranberries and raspberries ... Wow! ... then I tried the yellow one – mango and something else nice. This was extraordinary... By this time I was beginning to feel a wimp. But then. Then. Oh then. I tried one more ... it had blueberries, which I didn't think I liked at all... but... oh happiness and joy! It's the one for me! It really, really, REALLY is. It is perfect.

Your little 250ml bottles of sunshine make the monotony of the working week sweet. I am your humble servant till such time as you release me from your tyrannical fruit grip. May your mangoes be plump and your raspberries tender.

I so never write messages to strangers, I never do.. But you Dan, you make me smile every Monday (and we members of working class know that Mondays are vaccinated against good mood) so I figured I have to say thank you. So I am... I lived in London for a while and horrible weather, complete absence of sun (you know, that big warm ball of bright light), smelly streets and mostly rude people made me feel really crap. Really. See, I work as an illustrator, and in order to make happy pictures for kids I need to be happy person as well, and that was a tough job in London. But then one day I discovered you... Now, I know that smoothie cannot change one's attitude in life, but it surely did help me at that time. I knew there was someone out there, with subtle sense of humour, eye for a nice design and warm feeling for other human beings (I was particularly moved and amused with "but mum still loves dad" bit). Not to mention excellent taste in combining fruits and making delicious drinks. I even started making book for kids about making smoothies in weird fairy ways and thought to myself I would go and look for you and give it as a present, but I left the country before that happened. So it is now in my drawer waiting for another trip to London. Such a sweet people you are.. I probably will never meet you and you will never sit in my (sunny!) kitchen waiting for cakes to be baked (excuse me, but I am probably the best cake maker ever) but still you manage to make me smile. That is nice. Like kissing someone's cheeks while he still sleeps (and smells of oranges) or eating marshmallows while hiding under the kitchen table. So. Come and visit one day. All of you. Plenty of sun and good relaxed people. Summer is the best here so do yourself a favour and spend some weeks drinking good wine and eating the best blue figs in the world. And lots of other things. And such. Thank you for all this. Honestly really. I probably sounded like an overemotional Mediterranean girl talking nonsense. Which is probably because I am an overemotional Mediterranean girl talking nonsense. Take good care.
