\"Yoplait<\/a><\/p>\n

I remember when yogurt came in two types: fruit on the bottom you had to mix-up yourself and the premixed fat-free gloop that left you disappointed. <\/p>\n

Fast forward to 2013 and we now have yogurts that are whipped, yogurts specifically made to assist with cleaning your bowels, yogurts for kids, drinkable yogurts, yogurts with granola crumbles, lactose-free yogurts, fat-free yogurts, frozen yogurts from trendy named outlets where you can add chocolate covered potato chips and tapioca beads, and please don\u2019t even get me started on those disgusting Greek yogurts that taste like rancid cheese.<\/p>\n

There used to be a fine line between breakfast and dessert when it came to yogurt. The flavors available today guarantee some head scratching. Trust me, this becomes more apparent at 5:30 a.m. when you gulp down a chocolate silk pie-flavored yogurt. To ensure the waters stay muddled, Yoplait has released its new Fruplait line of niche yogurts.<\/p>\n

Looking at Yoplait\u2019s yogurt empire, I can understand why there has not been a yogurt like Fruplait before. It\u2019s so elementary, it\u2019s a wonder no one thought of it. <\/p>\n

“You know what we need? More fruit in the yogurt,” Yoplait Brand Developer Number 305 screams. “We need a yogurt equivalent to a Michael Bay film stuffed with an Aerosmith soundtrack!”<\/p>\n

The rest of the table asks, “Can we have Ving Rhames in it?”<\/p>\n

“Sure, what the heck is he not in?”<\/p>\n

“Yayyyy!!!” screams no one.<\/p>\n

“Booooooo\u2026” says Michael Clarke Duncan\u2019s estate.<\/p>\n

Because I love strawberry and peach, I bought both varieties. Plus, I have an indecision problem. I cannot just pick one. Like most Roman emperors, I needed them all. You can\u2019t miss these because they are sold in a “convenient” four-pack with reserved white packaging. <\/p>\n

I say, “convenient” only if you tend to buy four at a time because if you just want to try one and purchase maybe\u2026I don\u2019t know\u2026one, like hoping for world peace, you\u2019re out of luck Sunshine. Those miscreants at Yoplait made sure you have to have at least three in the fridge no matter how you like Fruplait.<\/p>\n

\"Yoplait<\/a><\/p>\n

Unlike your Uncle Choy, who owes The Dragon of the Black Pool<\/a> more than chicken fried rice and is now resting on the bottom of some retention pond, the fruit are in pockets, swirled in the middle and throughout the yogurt. As for the jammy goodness of the fruit, it has ample flavor and fruit.<\/p>\n

Way more fruit. <\/p>\n

Of course, that makes sense since the packaging tells you “2X the fruit of the leading yogurt.” With the strawberry flavor, it’s almost as if someone took a container of plain yogurt, went to an ice cream shoppe (with a soda jerk who speaks that 1920\u2019s hoiky joiky lingo), and asked for extra strawberry topping. Creamy yogurt with an addictive sweet and syrupy fruit mix? Now if it sounds like I\u2019m describing a dessert rather than breakfast, it\u2019s because I am.<\/p>\n

These yogurts add more haze to an already foggy patch the yogurt industry purposely created. I\u2019m fine with it but trust me when I tell you that there is no way these are for breakfast. Both Fruplait varieties are the ubiquitous 99 percent fat-free, low fat yogurt, chock full of live and active cultures which have me imagine I\u2019m drinking my plastic Sea-Monkeys tank.<\/p>\n

Fruplait Strawberry is, as it says on the bottom of the package, “sheer joy in a cup.” The joy I got from this yogurt was a close second to the joy I get when my pee is so clean that I won\u2019t violate probation. This yogurt is pretty damn good but I know it\u2019s not the yogurt; it\u2019s the sickly sweet strawberry pie like filling. If you love fruit-on-the-bottom strawberry yogurt, you will French-kiss and play Thompson Twins all night with this one.<\/p>\n

\"Yoplait<\/a><\/p>\n

First, there are big chunks of strawberry flesh that’s encased in that bright red jam. Second, you can mix it all you want, but it seems you will have a higher fruit to yogurt ratio. That\u2019s good because while the yogurt is creamy, it has a slight chalky aftertaste that most fat-free yogurts have. The yogurt mutes the sweetness of the sundae-like strawberries, which is a good thing. However, the aftertaste ruins it just a bit.<\/p>\n

Fruplait Harvest Peach must be peaches foraged from Candyland farms where trees grow whipped cream and bon-bons ripen in the orchards. The peaches, like the strawberries, were kick-started and chunky. They taste a little bit like the canned peaches you pretend are healthy but know the syrup says otherwise. But I like that, so if you\u2019re not a fan of the tinned fruits, you should avoid. Harvest Peach is not as sweet as the Strawberry one and it seems the weird chalky aftertaste is tempered. The yogurt itself is as smooth and creamy as what’s in the Fruplait Strawberry.<\/p>\n

\"Yoplait<\/a><\/p>\n

Low-fat, live and active cultures, and vitamins aside, we\u2019re not eating Fruplait for that nonsense. We\u2019re eating these because we are too lazy to make an actual sundae or parfait. That\u2019s fine with me because every time I stick a spoon in one, I\u2019m giving the middle finger to anybody who said, “You can\u2019t have dessert for breakfast.” <\/p>\n

Yes, I can, jerks. Yes, I can.<\/p>\n
