Strictly for science I decided to compare the grocery store brand yogurt with an old stand-by, the Yoplait parallel.
Yoplait original cherry orchard
This yogurt had a good consistency. Creamy, uniform. The fruit bits were already mixed into it. The taste was nice, but nearing the bottom of the 6 ounce yogurt pot I was pretty bored of eating it. Yoplait still had the same, slightly difficult to eat out of, truncated cone shape I remember from decades ago. A recognizable style choice, but not the most ergonomic shape for eating. Noticeable plus: Almost an entire cherry, which was delicious.
Publix fruit on the bottom black cherry lowfat yogurt
For me, Publix is good enough. If I am bothering with cheap yogurt, Publix's brand is usually what I get. Yogurt texture was okay; inferior to Yoplait, though. The fruit is on the bottom which I kind of like, since it compels you to dig through more yogurt to get fruit and you can mix the consistency as you like. But then I was all "why am I bothering?" since the previous yogurt was good as it came. By the end of the 6 oz. of yogurt I was bored of this brand as well. Publix has a more sensible tiny bucket shape to eat from. But I am marking them points off since the yogurt cup no longer comes with a lid. The lid made the tiny cup much more reusable for projects and storage.
Winner: Yoplait. Barely. The price difference is negligible. The initial taste is slightly better and, without an accurate means to determine this, I still want to say the quality was a little better. Maybe I'm imagining that? But maybe that's the point feeling like you are not just eating the generic goo?
