Plain yogurt is an acquired taste, like coffee or beer. Except it’s better for you. I have to be careful about how much sugar I eat, and plain yogurt is very good for your digestive system (live cultures, live cultures, rah rah rah). I started because it was good for me, but now I’m addicted. ---

They make organic whole milk yogurt for babies and my son LOVES it. Go figure, I always thought yogurt was kind of an acquired taste. ---

(Quoting Rick Moranis in "Spaceballs:) Yogurt! Yogurt! I hate Yogurt!!! I really, really do. I’ve tried plai yogurt and vanilla yogurt and fruit yogurt. The problem is that no matter what you do, it still tastes like YOGURT! And I hate yogurt. The only yogurt I like is frozen yogurt – an not even all of those. Columbo frozen still tastes like yogurt. I loved TCBY, which convinces me that, whatever that stuff was, it wasn’t yogurt. (I even liked the fat-free, sugar-free version. What the hell was in it? Must be solid chemicals.) Unfortunately, almost all he TCYB stands I know of are gone. (You can still get it at rest stops on the N.J. Parkway, though.) But, as I say, I like it, so it can’t REALLY be yogurt. Remember those old Dannon commercials about the peasants in oviet Georgia living to ungodly old ages by eating yogurt? Well, if the price of immortality is eating yogurt, it ain’t worth it. What could be worse than an eternity of eating yogurt? ---

I love the stuff. Try some plain on your potato. If you’re a freek, try strawberry yogurt on your potato. If you’re clinically insane, try peach yogurt in your pocket. Eddy…good cereal and yogurt tip…I’m gonna try that with some nutty granola. Yummy. ---

What’s the old joke? Yogurt improves your sex life, if you eat that, people think you’ll eat anything. Something like that. But I really love Dannon coffee flavored yogurt. Eat it everyday. Sure, it sounds like it would gag a maggot, but it’s yum. Can’t stand the stuff with chunks in it. It reminds me of, uh, stuff with chunks in it. ---

My darling wife adores yogurt. She raves about yogurt. She buys and eats yogurt by the gallon. She acts disgusted when I drink buttermilk. I think she is deranged. ---

Layered (think Peanut Buster Parfait from Dairy Queen) like this from the bottom to the top: plain yogurt, granola, plain yogurt, granola…on and on till the top (ends with layer of granola) topped with whipped cream and sliced fruit including but not limited to; kiwi, strawberries, pineapple, apple, grapes, or whole/half blueberries. Give me a lifetime supply of this and Boone’s Farm Snow Creek Berry or Strawberry Hill (or both) wine and I’m set. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/yogurt/24095.md?page=1)
