@stella: Congrats on getting published! I had no idea you wrote for them…and I miss you too.

@gé: France has their own Pinkberry? Preposterous! At the same time, they must be rich. I must find a country that hasn’t imported the dessert, yet…

I worked in the food business for some time, just found your article hilarious, thinking back of our crazy marketing people trying adapt american products to the European market -)
Here in France the legislation is quite tough with the “yogurt” label, no fancy formula allowed, they went through months of formula development to keep the fruits on the top, and ended up with something quite… original-tasting: granulous and spongy, quite unexpected….
But hell, customers like it!

@kboy25: I’ll have to try snowberry. Real yogurt, you say? Haha.

I still don’t know how they’re able to sell this.. without any nutritional facts anywhere.

I don’t care much about the composition, I just want to know how much sugar/calories I am getting per serving.
