Right? But, hey, maybe these flavors will prove themselves a good substitute for when you want some only to find that you\u2019ve missed all the cookie sales.<\/p>\n<p>For the purpose of this review, I procured some Thin Mints and Caramel Delites from a neighborhood Scout for comparison. <\/p>\n<h3>Yoplait Original Caramel Coconut<\/h3>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Yoplait-Original-Caramel-Coconut.jpg.jpg?resize=526%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Yoplait Original Caramel Coconut jpg\" title=\"Yoplait Original Caramel Coconut.jpg.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"526\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The latter are my favorite Girl Scout cookie so I decided to start with Yoplait Original Caramel Coconut flavored yogurt. Ahhhh, the first Caramel Delite of the cookie season&#8230;dry toasted coconut bits, crisp shortbread cookie, light milk chocolate flavor, chewy burnt caramel coating. Yum. I start to eat another and remind myself that I\u2019m reviewing the yogurt, not the cookies.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Yoplait-Original-Caramel-Coconut-2.jpg.jpg?resize=415%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Yoplait Original Caramel Coconut 2 jpg\" title=\"Yoplait Original Caramel Coconut 2.jpg.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"415\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I wasn\u2019t sure what Yoplait\u2019s rendition of Caramel Coconut would look like, but I was surprised to see that it was so boring. The yogurt was a pale caramel color and peppered with salt-sized coconut bits. The taste was more disappointing than the appearance. I imagine this is what \u201ccaramel color\u201d tastes like in its pure form, astringent and chemical-forward. <\/p>\n<p>There was a tinge of coconut, but it was off-putting and overpowered by the caramel notes. Nary a hint of chocolate was detected, despite the chocolate stripes depicted on the cookie on the label. This knockoff flavor will leave you wanting to eat multiple Caramel Delites to cover up the cloying flavor that lingers long after the last spoonful of deception. <\/p>\n<h3>Yoplait Whips! Thin Mints<\/h3>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Yoplait-Whips-Thin-Mints.jpg.jpg?resize=526%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Yoplait Whips Thin Mints jpg\" title=\"Yoplait Whips! Thin Mints.jpg.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"526\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Next up, Yoplait Whips! Thin Mints. I spotted some chocolate ingredients on the label of this yogurt, so I had high hopes. It had a dark chocolate color and the usual spongy Whips! appearance. The chocolate flavor was quite strong and authentic. The mint flavor was good but more pronounced (and more artificial tasting) than in real Thin Mints.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Yoplait-Whips-Thin-Mints-2.jpg.jpg?resize=337%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Yoplait Whips Thin Mints 2 jpg\" title=\"Yoplait Whips! Thin Mints 2.jpg.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"337\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s hard for me to get past the texture of the Whips!, though. This probiotic-laced sugar bomb is not a bad choice if you\u2019re in the mood for chocolate mint yogurt, but it\u2019s not nearly as satisfying as a serving of Thin Mint cookies, if that\u2019s what you\u2019re hoping for.<\/p>\n<h3>Yoplait Whips! Peanut Butter Chocolate<\/h3>\n<p>Finally, I wish I could say that the Yoplait Whips! Peanut Butter Chocolate was more remarkable that its Thin Mints cousin, but it wasn\u2019t. The chocolate flavor was milder and the peanut butter flavor was reminiscent of a scratch-and-sniff sticker and not of actual peanut butter. At least the mint in the Thin Mints one tasted like mint. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Yoplait-Whips-Peanut-Butter-Chocolate.jpg.jpg?resize=369%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Yoplait Whips Peanut Butter Chocolate jpg\" title=\"Yoplait Whips! Peanut Butter Chocolate.jpg.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"369\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Tagalongs that were the inspiration for this flavor feature a dime-sized nugget of peanut butter, so I was expecting this to be nuttier than it was. Another disappointment.<\/p>\n<p>Bottom line: Eat these if you\u2019re eager to try a new Yoplait flavor and you prefer some yogurt cultures with your 20+ grams of sugar. Otherwise, just eat the Girl Scout cookie you\u2019re craving (or 2 or 4) and be happier.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; <b>Caramel Coconut<\/b> &#8211; 160 calories, 3 grams of fat, 2.5 grams of saturated fat, 10 milligrams of cholesterol, 110 milligrams of sodium, 27 grams of carbohydrates, 20 grams of sugars, and 6 grams of protein. <b>Thin Mints<\/b> &#8211; 160 calories, 4 grams of fat, 2.5 grams of saturated fat, 15 milligrams of cholesterol, 100 milligrams of sodium, 26 grams of carbohydrates, 22 grams of sugars, and 5 grams of protein. <b>Peanut Butter Chocolate<\/b> &#8211; 160 calories, 4 grams of fat, 2.5 grams of saturated fat, 15 milligrams of cholesterol, 100 milligrams of sodium, 26 grams of carbohydrates, 22 grams of sugars, and 5 grams of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Purchased Price:<\/b> 60 cents each<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 4 oz.<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> Food Lion and Walmart<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 2 out of 10 (Caramel Coconut)<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 4 out of 10 (Thin Mints)<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 3 out of 10 (Peanut Butter Chocolate)<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> Probiotic yogurt cultures.
