i found a new kind of passion fruit yogurt so i don't need to buy chobani unless i am in a passion fruit yogurt emergency.
now you know!

do you still call it "chobani time?"

Hahaha. Is there a special song for Chobani Time?
― Orson Wellies (in orbit), Wednesday, 15 January 2014 22:44 (ten years ago) link
god, no! it's just an alarm that goes off in my head when i feel the shame of eating chobani brand yogurt, like an air raid siren.

THinking of passion fruit I just made a bread with pineapple & passion fruit juice not from concentrate as the liquid element. Wondering if I'm making things too sweet but just come across this new non-concentrate juice in ALDI this week. May be in there all the time but I'm not so it's new to me.

a by-product of this thread is that i now cannot pass by the chobani section of the supermarket without thinking fondly of la lechera.

Yogurt itself is actually a thing that makes me kind of irrationally embarrassed, come to think of it. I like it but never eat it in public. Maybe it's that "not manly" connotation.

I eat yogurt every morning at my desk at work. My manager dropped by my desk one day when I was eating coconut Chobani, and I got the distinct feeling he wasn't comfortable with the whole situation and was silently judging me. Maybe I'm just paranoid...

Of course, this is the same manager who informed that most men would be uncomfortable driving a mazda because they aren't manly cars. I guess my parents or whoever just forgot to give me any manliness advice when I was growing up, so I tend to make these social faux pas without really caring too much.

I think he's thinking of the Miata, which gets some guff as a girly little car, but it's actually a traditionally-styled casual sports car, unlike the overcompensating muscle cars of late americana

mazda 3 pretty sweet imo

Pretty sure he meant mazdas, which struck me as strange as that's a particular brand I'd never heard mentioned in a gendered context

― mookieproof, Thursday, 16 January 2014 00:58 (ten years ago) link
For sure.
Anyway, the lesson I've learned from all this is that I'm not particularly embarrassed to engage in unmanly activities, but I get extremely embarrassed to have to discuss such a topic. Embarrassed for the person who'd bring it up, that is.

I make fancy pour-over coffee in my office that I bring in, along with one other dude. I still always feel absurdly embarrassed whenever I explain it to anyone, and I definitely get funny looks from older guys in the office.

1. There's been a Chobani (blueberry) in my work fridge for a week or so. I'm pretty sure it belongs to the laid-back dad-dude sports fan partner. I've only ever seen him consume Diet Coke and yogurt, but the Chobani is a new development.
2. On some thread LL said something along the lines of "I've had a stressful day and I need some Chobani time" and it made me snortol and want to give her a hug.

Carl and I were on the train on the way to a Star Trek convention, we were sitting behind this guy eating yogurt. After finishing he proceeded to lick the cup to get the last remnants of yogurt out.
I eat yogurt all the time at my desk at work. No shame. But I don't like the cup.

Do you lick the lid?

LL, were you aware of Chobani Champion Tubes?
http://chobanichampions.com/addons/themes/chobani_champions/images/site/products/product/tubes/jammin-strawberry-lg.png
I bought a lot of them before my tonsillectomy and they keep popping up, e.g. I found one today in the fridge at work.

though really it would've been better if they were champion tubs
wow that is so gross! i don't like food that is squeezed into the mouth.
― mambo jumbo (La Lechera), Wednesday, 22 January 2014 19:36 (ten years ago) link
to be fair, they aren't the first company to market squeezable yogurt tubes by a long shot, although the ones I've seen are mostly marketed to children
― Evil Juice Box Man (Moodles), Wednesday, 22 January 2014 19:50 (ten years ago) link
you mean Champions
gogurt is one of the grossest snacks i have ever watched a child consume
― mambo jumbo (La Lechera), Wednesday, 22 January 2014 19:51 (ten years ago) link
like technicolor mayonnaise
Having learned to enjoy good plain yogurt, actually, I find the prevalance of super-sweet yogurts and the difficulty of finding good unsweetened yogurt to be really sad for America

Like this for example, goddamn:

but expensive and only available at ultra-bougie stores. OTOH if I go a little out of my way the Israeli grocery has a lot of options.

I open this thread for the first time in like a year and you guys are still talking about yoghurt. Have you been talking about yoghurt this whole time?

those yogurt tubes, so much cringing

you're still putting the yogurt in your mouth, right? why do you need a tube, it is a mystery

kids like tubes
I guess today's kids, once they are adults, might still like tubed food
