Dodo Juice coins it in for 10th birthday TO celebrate a decade in business, car care specialist Dodo Juice has concealed 10 gold coins, known as Decades (above), within pots of its top-selling product, Purple Haze wax.

It’s not the first time the company has offered more than just detailing products; previous gifts included themed waxes, vodka and cufflinks.

Recipients of a Dodo Juice Decade can keep it or spend it on the brand’s products, where it’s worth £29.46. Drivers put snacks ahead of car safety NEW research suggests 33 per cent of UK motorists use their cars as mobile pantries, keeping tinned food, snacks, soft drinks and even alcoholic drinks in them. That’s in contrast to the 17 per cent who keep a hazard warning triangle in their car, suggesting drivers have got their priorities wrong.

“Motorists should be sure that along with their food and drinks, they have what they need to stay safe in the event of an unexpected stop,” said Stephen Wornham, boss of hazard warning triangle maker Road Safety Designs, which commissioned the research.
