As a primarily plant-based drinks brand, ‘Veganuary’ is kind of Innocent’s jam. In 2020, they chose to mark the occasion with this deliciously amusing list-based joke.

List jokes are a favourite genre among comedy writers due to their versatility and the opportunity to show off how imaginative you can be. Brands like Innocent and SparkNotes frequently post list-based jokes because their social media teams love writing them.
Aside from comedy potential, there’s a secondary benefit to posting jokes in this format. By including basic formatting such as ALL CAPS and bullet points, you can also help your text-only posts stand out on oversaturated social media feeds.
