Am I Right Ladies? Yoplait! French For Lose Five Pounds

Every week, intrepid reporter Gail K. takes on advertising aimed straight at the heart (and you know where else) of women.

Yoplait? Yo-PLEASE, am I right ladies? As in “Yo, please pass me another Black Forest Cake Yoplait Light and make it on the double!” As in, two. Double the amount of Yoplait Light you are currently handing me, thereby making it two yogurts total. Ladies, if you’re anything like ladies, you LOVE yogurt. And if you’re anything like me, you love eating multiple baked goods in one day, heck one sitting! But you hate dieting (boooo). Thank heavens for companies like Yoplait (pronounced yo-playyy), that give you all the satisfaction of a Triple Berry Torte in a 6 oz, 100 calorie container of fermented milk!  Yummers! And now, you can even lose weight on the ‘plait with their two week tune-up plan! There is a god(dess) after all and her name is yogurt.

The Reunion

Sometimes I think what I really need is a two-week EMOTIONAL tune-up, am I right ladies? Oh I’m just yoplaiting with you girls. My landlady would say that unhealthy relationships with food usually come from a deeper place, to which I would say she hasn’t tried the two-week tune-up from Yoplait Light!  I’m on my third try, and I just know this fortnight is going to be the one where I drop a pant size instead of gain one.

Here’s the thing, apparently a “fruit and a grain” does not mean a fruit roll-up and half a dozen oatmeal cookies.  Advertising sure can be misleading!  Anyway, it’s beyond me how anyone can have just one. I need to eat at least six cups of Lemon Cream Pie Yo before it starts to feel like I’ve eaten a mere slice of LCP.  And I usually have three!
