This is really sad. You need a new circle.

Yoplait has High Fructose corn syrup, if that is something important to you...

... and gelatin (animal product)

I thought it tasted like throw up until I stirred it. Luckily my kids hate it but DH and I love it, we just get it at Costco

You can buy a strainer called "the wave" that will hold a quart of the regular stuff. After a day or two in the strainer in the fridge it's just like Greek yogurt.

to the poster who didn't like the greek yogurt, did you try nonfat or regular? the nonfat greek yogurt is really sour and i'm not a fan (unless it's loaded with honey or other sweetener, which defeats the point), but the regular (full fat) greek is so creamy and delicious - high protein, low sugar, high fat, though

Full fat Fage is amazing! I could almost eat that instead of ice cream.

Milk is different than ground up animal hooves.

I love Greek yogurt and eat it regularly. I just purchased the Chobani brand for $1 each at Wegmans. I wouldn't dare pay $2!

If you get it at Costco, it breaks down to about a dollar each or slightly less. Try Wegmans this week though. I grabbed 12 of them just because it was so "cheap"!lol

Right now at Harris Teeter I'm getting them for .25 cents with a coupon during their triple coupon week!
Here's a tip, get the coupons of the items you like on ebay for $1 or so and stock up when you see a sale.

It's just another over-priced fad.

The same goes with those stupid average -tasting cupcake shops.

I don't really think it's a fad. I think sales will drop off eventually but continue to be robust. Greek yogurt will continue to be available. It's a very healthy option, a great way to add protein to one's diet, and convenient. The same can't be said of cupcakes, except for the convenience. But it's certainly not convenient to stand in line for an hour (like at Georgetown Cupcakes).

If you eat it plain it tastes like bland sour cream.

here is the truth, The healthiest yogurts are the ones that are sugar free with splenda.

Fat. Be wary of Greek yogurt's fat content. In just 7 ounces, Fage's full-fat Greek yogurt packs 16 grams of saturated fat—or 80 percent of your total daily allowance if you're on a 2,000-calorie diet. (That's more than in three Snickers bars.) Dannon's regular full-fat yogurt has 5 grams of saturated fat in an 8-ounce serving. Saturated fat raises total and "bad" LDL cholesterol levels, increasing the risk for heart disease. Read nutrition labels carefully. If you're going Greek, stick to low-fat and fat-free versions.
