The opening as it read in 2005
Yoplait Yoplait is a General Mills owned brand of pre-stirred yogurt in a variety of fruit-based flavors that comes in a nearly cylindrical container sealed with an aluminum foil top. The fact that the container is not perfectly cylindrical and is more like an inverted cup results in a design which is both unique and dangerous to wildlife (as described below). The yogurt is described on its company's homepage as being: " delicious blended creaminess ." Another tagline, used in an early 1990s TV ad campaign asked consumers, "Why dip a spoon into anything less?"1
