Yogurt! Is There Anything It Can’t Do?

1. Funny. At least we don’t have to listen to a litany of side effects while we watch the yogurty arrow flush out Jamie Lee’s innards.

2. I’m not a lady and I love yogurt. Am I OK?

3. Ha ha, Sarah Haskins is funny.

4. I eat yogurt nearly every day. I buy it in the largest container available, mix it with cheerios and slather it with honey or maple syrup.

   I think the yogurt people are hurting themselves by leaving out a whole demographic by being “women’s diet food.” I also think those little packages are horribly bad for the environment and only contain about a quarter of a serving. And usually way too much sugar.

5. Hm, just like how marketeers hawk beer & pizza as “man food”…

6. Sometime I would just love to see a yogurt or tampon commercial when I’m watching the Daily Show, instead of ridiculous boy commercials.

   They should start packaging the single-serving yogurts in “fiber cups” that you could eat if you need an extra boost.

7. Never heard of Sarah Haskins — I guess now I can see why…that’s 3:31 of my life I will never get back…

8. @4. And high fructose corn syrup, which alot of the “light” brands use.

9. Seattle man food is humus and whole vgrain chips washed down with wine from Trader Joe’s.

   Then they sit down to pee it out.

10. ladies love yogurt because it looks like spooge, and tastes better.

11. Just TRY to find a yogurt that DOESN’T have high fructose corn syrup, and doesn’t cost $10.99 for a tiny little carton.

12. more women eat yogurt than men do, hence the marketing towards said women. get over it.

13. I live off of Nancy’s NonFat Organic… I am a male, but then again, I too sit around in my comfy grey hoodie with my gal-pals, all of us laughing about happier times while Coldplay underscores the background. I mean, what could be better? Oh – wait. Alcohol.

14. My favorite Target Women will always be the one about the birth control pill, but you know maybe it’s not that great – “I am just a lady, with a simple lady mind.”

15. Complaining that TV commercials are dumb does not help women. Faux feminism.

    Somebody has the Boo Hoo Hoo’s

17. Is that the chick from the L Word in the yogurt commercial?

18. @11
    tillamook yogurt doesn’t have high fructose corn syrup. if i remember correctly.

19. All I know about yogurt as a lady product is that I have met 6 people, independent of each other, that all had a high school health teacher who advocated blueberry yogurt as a healthy and delicious way to douche.

20. @17 That’s what I was wondering. Is there an imdb for commercials?

    Um…what’s her name? The one in love with the one who died of breast cancer. Alice?

21. Did anyone not LOL at the “I’m gonna shit my pants” part?

    ZOMG.

    And yes… I did just use LOL as a verb.

22. I don’t know what part of town you hang out in @9, but for this Seattleite, “man food” is a 15 lb. smoked beef brisket and a keg of ….

23. There are tons of yogurts without HFCS. Where do you shop, the suburbs? Gross.

24. Just bought some Blue Sky Cola and Jamaican Ginger Ale.

    Pure cane sugar. Pricey, but good, and easier to get than mexican coca-cola.

25. @17 and 20 – yes that is Leisha Hailey from L Word.

    My dog eats yogurt. She is female, so I guess she’s the right demographic.

26. I come into the city to buy all sorts of obscure products just so I can brag about them on Slog!

    I douche with Mrs. Stewart’s Bluing, and weave my own Tampons from organic cotton harvested by Costa Rican lesbians, which is only available at a store in the Rainier Valley on alternating Tuesdays from 6am-6:15am where English is a third language.

    Instead of Coffee, I drink Icelandic “Fjor!” , which is made from the pituitary glands of mature yaks who have been weened on sheep placenta. With a dollop of clotted Nicaraguan Soy milk, and some Tibetan sugar subsitute, it’s almost as good as Folgers!

27. @25. I’ve heard yogurt is supposed to be good for dogs with sensitive stomachs. I let my dog lick the empty containers, but that’s about it…

28. @26: Yogurt without all the extra shit in it is not obscure. It’s extremely easy to find if you’re willing to take two extra minutes to read the ingredients.

29. Food that wasn’t made in a chemical plant 3000 miles away is hard to find for people who live in the suburbs. They even need chemical combustion machines to get anywhere, kind of like in Wall-E.

30. 15 – Didn’t you ever read the Feminine Mystique?

31. Cheez, you guys. I thought this was fucking hilarious.

32. Plain yogurt isn’t hard to find in multi-serving containers.

    The yogurt marketed towards kids is disgustingly sweet.

    You don’t want to use sweetened products for inserting in your vagina. Some people advocate that as a way to treat yeast infections. I’ve never seen it work.
