The tubes are running, the sun is shining and there's even a Brit winning the tennis. The meaning of all this?  It must be the perfect moment for a bit of Firefly news...

New zip, more zip

Some of you may remember helping with our big 'what is Firefly' survey before Christmas.  Well, six months on we're happy to tell you that after much herb tasting, and zip ripping we've done a re-vamp...    More powerful herbs for a noticeable boost. "Natural Energy" in big fat writing on the front.  And a zip...? OK, the zip is to help recycling - you "unzip" the label, to make it easier at the bottle bank.  And it's weirdly satisfying peeling it off.   So, more zip on the inside, new zip on the outside.  They'll be hitting the shelves in the next few weeks - we'd love to hear your thoughts.

Fred & Ed's excellent adventure

If you live in London, we need your help. Fred and Ed's job (that's them, right) is to make sure every nice independent café and deli in London has plenty of Firefly. So if your local doesn't, please tell us. And as if you needed further encouragement, we're giving away three pairs of tickets* to this week's Taste of London to the first three suggestions that come through. Click here to suggest a café * Tickets valid on the 18th June (am and pm session) and the 19th June (am session) only.

Vote of no confidence - Chill Out and Health Kick step down

It's a sad day for British politics. After years of loyal public service, Chill Out and Health Kick have been caught fiddling their expenses. In a statement, Chill Out said "I needed a second home in the Maldives to relieve the stress of my job.  However, I realise, in tough times, it doesn't look good." Both have agreed not to run again.  Fans of the drinks are encouraged to vote for Wake up, Sharpen up, Detox or Recharge, all untarnished by the expenses scandal.

Prizes, Freebies, Bargains

Quick round-up: Ocado are running a 2 for £2 promotion till the end of the month and we're 1/3 off in Waitrose. Quick. Well done Marianne McGurk, who won our "Bounce" competition with "Jumping for Joy" (see right).  She's off to Le Manoir Aux Quat' Saisons for a "gourmet weekend".  (Photo appearing on Recharge soon.) If you live in Scandinavia, you can enter our latest photo competition to win a fantastic holiday to Tobago with Rex Resorts and Condor. Lekker. Good luck...

Well that's it for now. Thanks for keeping in touch and here's to a glorious summer wherever you are.  Caroline, Richard, Julia, Emma, Jaime, Issey, Fred & Ed next
