Hey yogurt, how's it hangin'? We've been together for a while now, and aside from a falling out when I made you for my sixth grade science project and realized that really...you're just a bunch of rotting milk, we've been pretty happy.
Whether it's fruit on the bottom (how exciting, it's almost like an upside down ice cream treat!), whipped (so light and airy!), custard style (I love you even though you often trigger my gag reflex), or plain (there's really nothing exciting to say about plain), our love affair has endured.
Then came Go-gurt. I mocked you mercilessly. Seriously? Go-gurt (and breaking out the "gurt" part? Not cool.)? Because, ya know, yogurt does have a mobility problem. It's sooooo hard to remember a spoon. You argued that it wasn't your fault. Those manufacturers and brands were trying to market you to kids. And you had to be cool, yo. And still I laughed at you. Yogurt in a squeeze tube? C'mon.
After that it was, "Yogurt! Great as a digestion aid! Keeps you regular!" Probiotics will help you poo. Greeaaattt. That's what I want to think about while I'm enjoying my morning yogurt (with a spoon, geez).
And the woman who has to get all her pants taken in because she ate delicious yogurt in flavors like white-chocolate strawberry and key lime pie? She's really annoying. Although I sort of feel for her because her tailor is clearly an idiot. Much like most of the people I have to deal with on a daily basis. But really? Your explanation is "I was just outside? And I came in. So take my pants in..."? That's the dumbest thing I've heard all day (it's early).
I was still with you even after all those things, though.
Until yesterday. This? Is just ridiculous. Those kids need to get with the program and leave the '70s hair behind. I know that emo thing was popular for a while (we're all past that, right? Good.), but it's over now and we would all appreciate you not bringing back the '70s again. Some people have already lived through that twice (for which I pretty much blame Ashton Kutcher). And it wasn't really that cool the first time.
Again, I understand that it's not exactly your fault, yogurt. But I fail to see how on earth crushing a cup of yogurt is even a practical method of eating it. Never mind that it's completely inefficient. Not to mention...JUST GET A SPOON.
The flavor names really kill me. Three of them are violent. Strawberry SMASH! Strawberry-Banana SLAM! Blueberry BLAST! And then...Cherry-licious? Really? That's the best you could do? Licious isn't exciting. Cherry Choke Hold! Cherry Chupacabra! Cherry Chester Cheetah! Oh wait. I guess Cheetos might get mad about that one...
So that's it yogurt. I think we're through. We had a nice run, but you've stooped to a whole new level. And I'm just not down with it.
Art mystery possibly solved?

i HATE that commercial with the tailor! c'mon! or the "i'm sometimes irregular" while holding her colon lady. arg
"Cherry Chupacabra" is just classic, classic material.
Wow. How freaking lazy do we have to get before it's too much?
I have phases where I love yogurt, then don't eat it for months. I'm at the tail end of an "eating" cycle right now, so I feel ya on this one!
ok. I clicked the link and now my ENTIRE day is going to be filled with the desire to kick the shit out of both of those kids.
dude. you need to contact their PR dept and pitch cherry chupacabra RIGHTNOW.
mylittlebecky: It's basically the new tampon commercial. Although, don't even get me started on tampon commercials.
adriana: Tell me about it. LAZY! Soon it will come with someone to open it for you, too.
repliderium.com: Please do. And film it?
Alice: Done.
My parents love plain yogurt.
ARE YOU CALLING THEM BORING?!?!
Because they are. Lame as hell.
The question is, WHY ARE YOU READING BLOGS ON FRIDAY?
Since no one reads blogs on Fridays.
And also, yes. I think I am.
Crushing is my preferred method for eating Jell-O in a cup. As in Jell-O shots of course.
I've found that to be messy. So now I just dig them out with my tongue like everyone else. That sounds more dirty than I intended.
Cherry Cacophony!
That sounded better in my head.
Also, the applet with the squirting yogurt is more than slightly pornographic. I've been at it for five minutes now.
Wow...you weren't kidding. Where's the FCC and the other peeps to censor that? It's highly inappropriate.
Plain yogurt is awesome... but you have to think outside the USA box... like Moroccan food, Greek, Indian, Lebanese, Turkish,
It's also very versatile. You can mix it with brown sugar and cinnamon to put on fruit. Hell, you can mix it was strawberry syrup and Jam to create a form of breakfast. Or you can mix it with dill, pepper, salt and minced onion.
Heaven on a baked potato or avocado and tomato salad.
Yes, I'm her silly cooking friend.
Cherry Chupacabra is by far the best line, ever!
Great post!
Ever since I saw yogurt in a petri dish through a microscope, I haven't been a big fan.
Then again, my biology teacher told me what was in hot dogs, and that never stopped me. I'm such a hypocrite.
