I'm not getting paid for this. . . Promise!

Disclaimer: In no way am I being supported or bribed by the Yoplait company. My thoughts and reactions described below are all mine!

I felt the need to preface this blog with a warning as my shameless promotion of a Yoplait product will rapidly follow.

Accidentally, I stumbled upon this euphoric treat about six months ago after receiving a free coupon the week previously at the grocery store checkout. Yoplait for Digestive Health? I murmured to myself. Well, I love yogurt, so I can always use the discount.

Little did I know that I was creating an addiction that is uneasily broken.

At that point let me issue another warning: If you enjoy yogurt, be wary about reading on. You may also suffer the severe consequence of single minded addiction once you partake in this one of a kind taste. (Don't say I didn't warn you!)

I took my yogurt to work the following day, and at lunch began my perfunctory routine of eating my yogurt as I graded papers. Yet, I was startled this day at a new experience. This yogurt was good. Not just good, but oh-my-god good. I-need-to-stop-and-sigh-by-myself good. The velvety smooth texture felt like I was eating ice cream or pudding. The vanilla flavor was sweet enough to taste like a treat, but not overpowering to inundate the senses.

As further confirmation to the unique nature of the yogurt, Chris even remarked to me after taking one to work that it was especially tasty.

I began to try variations on the yogurt. No, I didn't veer from the vanilla, but I would cut up strawberries and eat them heaped on top of the yogurt. I even tried both raspberries and blueberries. Each experience provided a tantalizing experience.

Something this good couldn't be kept a secret. I began to tell all yogurt lovers I knew.

Haughtily, I would scoff at other people's yogurts in their lunch, boasting that mine was the best yogurt and that they should try it. The result? Two ladies I eat lunch with at work have converted to Yoplait Digestive Health yogurt. One friend was telling me today that she sent her husband to buy more yogurt at the store, and he accidentally bought the wrong brand. Even she confessed, "It's not the same!"

Curious yet? I promise, this yogurt will deliver amazing results.

(Also, as a side benefit, it is also good for the belly!)

Yoplait doesn't pay me yet, maybe they should reconsider?

A long time ago, I was going to write an entry about this very same thing. And then gas went up to $4 a gallon, and I couldn't afford my Yoplait Digestive Health anymore. So then I forgot all about it. You are so right, though... it's fabulous yogurt. I know I converted one woman in the office too!
