Products that make me mad -- Yoplait Whips

So I was at Ultra Foods the other day taking advantage of their big Yoplait yogurt sale. They were out of the light cups so I went with "whips," which I'd never purchased before. HUGE MISTAKE. Check this out:

  • Yoplait light yogurt? six ounces
  • Yoplait whips? four ounces

Yes: You get a third less product for the same price -- and it appears to simply be Yoplait light yogurt that they have simply whipped up so it's full of air. Stir, and it collapses like a souffle into four ounces of real yogurt. Nice trick, Yoplait! Not only that, the texture is completely off. I don't like it. The kids don't like it. Good thing I have 10 more cups...

So what products make you mad?

  1. How about tiny candy bars like the 3 Musketeers "lite" or whatever it is. What is that? YOu think you are getting a CANDY bar not a mini!

  2. Well, who pays for this stuff anyway? Rachel, are you pissing about only getting 4 ozs for free instead of 6? Why doesn't anyone comment on the fact that the standard size used to be 8 oz (a full cup - wait, is that phrase trade-marked?) Just hold on, you've got 16 quarts of Chobani coming your way...

  3. If it wasn't for the whips, I wouldn't eat yoghurt at all. I, for one, love the texture. So, to each their own, eh?

    1. I had horrible acid reflux.I suffered for years, until I tried Whips 3 months ago.Acid Reflux gone.People please this yogurt has changed my life no more chest pain.

      1. Does 1 four oz, cup do the trick? I have terrible acid reflux and will gladly eat this stuff if it works.

  4. Thats what "whipped" is though... Like whipped cream, whipped eggs, etc. So it shouldn't be a surprise, really.

  5. The Motts for Tots juices since they are just watered down apple juice. You're getting less juice so you should really just buy regular apple juice and water it down yourself if you want to.

    1. I agree one day I took the time to read the label and saw the first ingredient was water -it's actually just watered down apple juice! So I bought the "regular" and added my own water.

  6. I LOVE Whips...........I'm not a huge fan of yogurt though and this reminds me of a whipped jello my mom used to make. I usually put two containers in a bowl with some nuts and eat away 🙂

  7. Orange juice. Used to be 64oz was standard, now Tropicana and other big names have down-sized to 59oz, but charge the same. Some off-brands are still 64 oz,though, so make sure to compare prices before you buy the stuff on sale that is really only 59 oz.

  8. I have to say that I don’t like this yogurt in the regular flavors, but the chocolate one, that a whole different ball game.
    my daughter and I just LOVE the chocolate whip yogurt.
