The Fuming Fuji is outraged at the marketing of toxic food, especially when it’s aimed at the small fry. This week, the Fuming Fuji has decided to have a serious problem with Gogurt.
But, Fuming Fuji, you ask, isn’t calcium on-the-go better than a popsicle?
The Fuming Fuji says no!
The claim: Apparently, kids can’t get enough of the cool wonderfulness of flavors like “Cool Cotton Candy”. Yoplait says – and the Fuji quotes – “wholesome goodness.”
The catch: Gogurt is like crack for youngsters, only sweeter.
The comeback: Oh, come on, it’s better than a popsicle.
The conclusion: The Fuming Fuji tried to ignore your popsicle comparison the first time you asked it. Just because yogurt is not quite as bad as a popsicle does not make it healthy. Gogurt is a sugar-laden, chemical-filled joke!
The catchphrase: Gogurt – just like yogurt, only really terrible.
