To think yogurts must be magical?

I have seen them on the telly and yogurts pretty much magically fix everything. But they can only be consumed by women.

Although Fromage Frais can be consumed by both genders till the onset of puberty.

And they had added "stuff" that does things that you need to be all glowingly thin and produce vitality and things. This stuff cannot apparently be added to Brie or monster Munch though. It's all about the yoghurt.

Yogurts amazing and you can eat them with friends instead of the usual cake and wine,as long as its a coconut yoghurt.

AIBU to think yoghurt are a bit mystical with actual superpowers, and can replace all foods?

PrincessC do you vitally glow and have excellent bowels? Do you invite your equally pretty friends round for gooseberry yoghurt?

No doubt here foslady - yoghurt just isn't worth eating because of the way it affects my innards Blush. Glad to let you know you're not alone though.

You have to leave weetabix for a good 10 mins so that it turns to sugary stodge. Nom nom

Weetabix challenge was bollox, you don't need variety.

Beastly · 07/11/2013 22:39

willyou banana choc corners are the king of yogurts

HoneyDragon · 07/11/2013 22:41

Yoghurt does not upset your innards! It is magic and used that biffidy digestum stuff.

You've obviously being dipping sausage rolls in it?

I'm a grown man, I eat yoghurt :(

It's great stuff, protein and sugar part digested by all the bacteria, the bacteria itself, it's a great food, everyone should eat it (although I normally drink it...)

Honey, yogurt helps your hair grow.

runs away

Howstricks · 07/11/2013 22:44

Agree with your weetabix synopsis Honeydragon. We all eat yogurts in this house but the general consensus is that it doesnt count as a pudding..sort of a disappointing half cousin to pudding for when i've forgotten to make anything else (angel delight!) Smile. Tried to look seductively and moan appreciatively at dh when eating my greek style muller corner but he asked me if i had indigestion. Teen dd has been eating activia but although slim and beautiful is not experiencing the tons of energy and get up and go i had expected. (Similar to when i tried using Bodyform ..no desire to wear white jeans and roller skate at all)

HoneyDragon · 07/11/2013 22:44

Fred

You realise you are rebelling.

The rules clearly stare that yoghurt is for women. You have to eat HP Sauce and pot noodles.

That is correct Beastly I don't know why the other yoghurty bastards even bother trying.

I used to be partial to a toffee crisp "yoghurt" but haven't seem them for years.

I've never tried it but I always think lemon yoghurt is an abomination. That can't be nice surely?

I hate that Pearl De Lait (sp?) advert where they're all like "So what's her secret" and she smiles smugly and says "Ladies!"

It always makes me think she's advocating rampant lesbian sex as an anti-aging treatment

Not that there's anything wrong with rampant lesbian sex Grin

Just seems an odd way to sell yoghurt

Jolleigh · 07/11/2013 22:49

No sausage rolls here Honey

Also, may I get the following on record:

Biffidus my arse Grin

NoArmaniNoPunani · 07/11/2013 22:49

DH eats yogurt. He's not terribly manly though.

HoneyDragon · 07/11/2013 22:54

It might not be lesbian sex, one of those ladies could be Fred. Grin

HoneyDragon · 07/11/2013 23:14

Yoghurt makes you a brilliant Ice Skater.

Jane Torvil is the second skater to endorse yoghurt so it must be true Grin

Strumpetron · 07/11/2013 23:29

Love this thread. Hate yoghurt adverts.

Dp eats Muller crunch corners.

Not sure they classify as yoghurt though with all the sugar and chocolate.

And he definitely does not exude manly vibes whilst eating them.

..... I'm not sure where I'm going with this point actually Confused

ScarletLady02 · 07/11/2013 23:40

I hate the one where Nicole ShitSinger is going on about balls of deliciousness...

It make me a little bit sick in my mouth...

Oooh and what about the Nell McAndrew ones where she was always "BLUUUUUUUUUUUUURTED"

KalevalaForMePlease · 07/11/2013 23:41

Ooh, Muller crunch corners! The strawberry shortcake one was lovely, tasted too nice to be any good for you though.
