I've been off the Chobani train for a while (except we use the 0% plain instead of sour cream). But booo! to sneaky retailers.
I've been curious to try apricot, and liked blackberry when I tried it recently-ish, but I haven't totally recovered from Chobani-overload over the summer. I'm not ready to go back yet
I'm also scared of the sugar in fruit yogurts, since I started MFP. For a while my usual breakfast was another brand's plain greek yogurt, with frozen berries dropped in, and I'm not sure I can do normal fruit yogurt after that.
Bullshit! I stopped getting the little packets and just get a big container of plain and mix frozen fruit in. Not as good, but less sugar and I think cheaper, but I'm not quite sure. They make big containers of the strawberry so that is probably cheaper.
THIS POST IS NOT TO SUGAR SHAME ebeth Y'ALL. THIS POST IS ABOUT THE SCAMMING OF AMERICA BY CHOBANI.
normally, I do the buy the big pack of fage (pronounced fa-yeh) at costco and put some frozen berries in my bpa free plastic and blah blah blah. I have some leftover chobanis from when my MIL and SILs were staying with us.
I WILL SCREAM WITH YOU!!!! I noticed this a few weeks ago and it pisses me off when I buy yogurt. I want to buy a different brand, but Mr. GT is like a 5 year old when it comes to yogurt and only wants Chobani.
This is how I felt when regular yogurt went from 8oz. to 6oz. like 7 years ago, so from 120 calories to 90. I used to have to search for the 8oz ones. Ugh.
They have also done this with ice cream - as in, it's not a quart anymore, for the same price. NOT OKAY!

this isn't a problem for me because I make my ice cream at home with local organic cream from free range grass fed BISON.
you hear that suzyp? I care nothing for your ice cream plight.

I hate it when food producers do that. If your costs go up, just raise prices instead of trying to sneak by with less food. Signed, still upset my regular yogurt comes in 6 oz instead of 8.

Yep that's why I won't eat them. I did like the fage that had a separate fruit compartment so you could control how much of the sugar/fruit you put it in. I used to skim off the yogurt in the chobani and add in a little bit of the fruit from the bottom to do the same.

fine! I'm just going to start to sugar shame you and hang out with keweenawlove while eating 8oz yogurts, if we can find them.

Breyer's used to make this amazing 8 oz cream savers flavored ones that were AMAZING! First they went down the 6 oz, now I can't find them anymore. Damn the sugar haters!
Oh, I this enrages me! My poor DH has the saddest looking little granola bars in his lunch. They're almost fun-sized! One day, after an enraging trip to the grocery store, we also realized that this happened to our coffee. YOU CANNOT SHORT PEOPLE ON COFFEE!! Dh wrote a strongly worded letter. lol We got coupons!

I used to have to drive to specific grocery store because I knew they still carried 8oz. yogurts...and then they stopped.
I noticed this too, though I rarely buy individual yogurts. I usually buy a big container. Probably 1/2 the time I buy plain & mix in fruit, and otherwise I succumb to the temptation & buy the sugary stuff that's on sale / cheapest.
Though, I will say it's getting harder & harder to find yogurt WITH FAT. I want at least 2% to tide me over a bit longer as a snack. In our local grocery & even larger stores more and more of the selection is fat free. I tried Müeller brand Greek last time because it was the only one I could find with fat. It was delicious, but not cheap. And I LOVE the Greek Gods strawberry, though it's almost too rich even for me. I believe it's whole/ full fat. Anybody else not on the 0% wagon?

That is downright villainous! I will have to watch my coffee beans & see if they are getting downsized.

YES to fat in my dairy products. Although I also eat 0% because I like the flavors.
I heard about this last week. I stopped buying Chobani once I found Muller yogurt. Is it as good for me? Probably not. Is it absofreakinlutely delicious? You bet!

Yes! I love that the 2% (or more) is so much more creamy!

I wonder if it's a Midwest thing or just a new product. I'd never see or heard of it until it showed up in my Sam's Club a few months ago. They also used to carry the most delicious Brown Cow Greek. Though that was actually billed as a dessert I think.
