Not so innocent vegetables

IJ will tell you that vegetables are boring and if you put them on your plate they will contaminate your food, cause your nose to fall off and your head to explode.

That's possibly a slight exaggeration although it’s fair to say that IJ and vegetables don't get on and are rarely seen in the same room together.

So it made a pleasant change to see her rummaging through this parcel of vegetables sent to us by Innocent drinks.

The difference is that these are not ordinary vegetables.

In the dead of night when no child is awake they come alive, they pace around the kitchen and if you disturb them you’ll be doomed to a diet of Brussels sprouts and only Brussels sprouts* for the rest of your life.

So don’t be fooled. There is nothing innocent about these vegetables. They aren't to be messed with.

Why not have a go at creating your own vegetable monster? Innocent drinks are asking people all over the country to share their fruity freaks and veg monsters online to be in with the chance of winning an exclusive set of innocent Halloween 0-9 number magnets (which all glow in the dark too).

Here’s how you can enter:

1. Make your fruity freak or vegetable monster from the spookiest looking fruit or veg you can find.

* Or possibly raw garlic.
