Something this good must be shared

I saw a tv commercial the other night that stopped me in my tracks. It was for Yoplait Whips. While I am a devout consumer of Yoplait Light (White Chocolate Strawberry-flavored, please, and only 100 calories per container), I'd never heard of this Whips stuff.

Post-processing: 1. Crop; 2. PW's Boost action at 34%; 3. MCP's High Definition Sharpening action at 16%

The tv lady said that the Whips could be eaten refrigerated or frozen. Frozen? Hmmm. I might have to try that, I thought. Advertiser's dream that I am, on my last trip to Walmart, I picked up a few containers of Yoplait Whips – the Orange Cream and Key Lime flavors – and stuck them in the freezer.

But before we go there, how is it that Yoplait at my Walmart used to cost 74 cents but for the past few months costs only 58 cents? That makes no sense. I'm not complaining, because spending 74 cents on six ounces of anything makes me feel guilty no matter how good it tastes, but now that it's only 58 cents, well let's just buy a whole case. Where were we? Oh, yeah. The Whips. Despite the fact that Smooch has her own yogurt treats to snack on, I always let her lick my yogurt container once I've extracted as much as I possibly can with my spoon. And we're both here to tell you that this frozen Yoplait Whips stuff is stinkin' good. (And Yoplait has no idea who I am and is not paying me to say this.) The texture, the taste, the price ... it all adds up to our new favorite snack. Smooch and I wanted to share this news so you could enjoy it, too. Bone appétit.
