Why do only women eat yogurt in commercials? They don't just eat it, either; they look at it longingly, delicately pick up as if they're about to consume something no less than equisite, and then SAVOR each bite slowly.
Yogurt doesn't fool me. You know that commercial where the woman is on the phone and is all like, "Oh, yeah I ate apple pie for lunch and later on there's a huge vat of custard with my name on it," and the unknowing husband looks in the fridge, past all the custard-flavored yogurt and finds nothing? Why is yogurt treated like some secret that only stay-at-home or irregular women are in on?
What really burns my biscuit is how this cultured goop is treated like a fucking delicacy (Laura, I know you posted a yogurt video sometime back and I'm thinking of it, and I feel like it fully encompasses the ire found in this post). Personally, I refuse to even try yogurt because the smell alone, combined with the texture I can only imagine it is, severely grosses me out. the word itself (or at least the last syllable... guuuurt... guuuurt) is putrid. Yeah yeah, it's good for you. But seriously, 1) It's not good enough to merit the attention it receives and and 2) Why the fuck do only women eat it?
On that note, 3 more days left at Hangover Insurance and then it's Into the Wild for me.
