Yoghurt
Being a good little boy for the week, I decided to spoil myself and have some yoghurt – more specifically “Margaret River Pure Australian Yogurt with Strawberry Chunks“.
The label stated that it contained no artificial colorants, preservatives or additives – completely natural. The selling point was ‘Contains live ABC cultures’. Well I was suspicious when I read the ‘ABC’, but figured the real cultures had such complicated names that marketing decided to simplify things – like they always do. How the cultures could still be ‘alive’ after spending a couple hours in the refrigerator was also somewhat debatable.
Then I opened it.
My suspicions were confirmed. This yogurt was serious dead – not one singular live A or B or C culture to be found in the entire 300ml container. My strawberry was missing!!!
Initially I figured the recently deceased cultures had eaten my strawberries but even then the yogurt should have at least have had a strawberry like color? My AU$3 was nothing more than 300ml of a plain white feta cheese like substance. So for the next fifteen odd minutes I mined my way down through this tasteless stuff. A knife and fork would’ve been better choices of utensils to tackle this job!
Finally, I found a couple strawberries. Notice, I said ‘couple’ because there were only two!
It is scary contemplating what this yoghurt would’ve looked like closer to the expiry date.
So, verdict stays the same: Aussie yoghurt is crap!
What I would give for a tub of South African thick and creamy Woolworths Yoghurt ;(
