the image of the yoplait container does not load, someone needs to find a better picture

---

The "Effects of Yoplait on the environment" section is wordy and a bit confusing -- what exactly does it mean for an animal to "infiltrate" a container? Also, that bit could really use some references, as it's not clear why a different shape would be any better.

Yoghurt vs. Yogurt

Since this is about an international product, should't the international spelling be used instead of the American spelling? I changed the link to point to the yoghurt article as yogurt was redirecting there, but the article could be cleaned up. --Walter Görlitz 21:59, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

• No. Yogurt is much more common and well known around the world as the name. Yoghurt will confuse people.
• Uh, I think they're similar enough for people to get what it means either way. 124.178.5.47 05:36, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
• Well, I agree that they are similar, and who says that everything is either "international or American?" It isn't like all English speaking countries except for the USA spell it one way, and Americans spell it a different way.

Does this product contain a live culture?

I first went to the yoplait web site to find the answer, but they don't have anything on the subject. So I came here, still nothing. I'm reffering to a live bacterial culture, apperantly some yougurts have it and some don't. If you know, please share. If you don't know please call yoplait and interogate them. We need action on this matter post-haste. Thank you.

On a different matter; someone needs to add spellcheck to this thing. I can't be held acountable for my misspellings on acounta there is no spellcheck.

Do any other countries have the ads on tv that say "Yoplait - it's french for yogurt!". they used to screen in NZ for a while.

Vandalism

"Yoplait Yogurt does NOT contain Rat Bones in its Yogurt.!!!!!!!!!!!!" Thank you, random vandal, for informing me. I was worried. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 205.201.141.146 (talk) 22:41, 9 March 2007 (UTC).

guava and passion fruit?

specific markets are carrying "new!" guava and passion fruit flavors. 64.91.201.195 01:30, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Innovations and milestones?

This section is a condensed version of a page on the Yoplait Canada site, taken at face value. There is, however, nothing in either the Canadian or U.S. patent registries to corroborate these claims.

As for the claims themselves, the second is of questionable significance, as being "one of the first" rather than the first does not count as being an innovative industry leader. The claim that yop is the first drinkable yogurt is untrue as lassi and ayran predate yop by several centuries.

Let's keep Wikipedia from being another corporate billboard. I move for deletion of the entire list. Ibadibam 02:43, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Since there is no objection, I will proceed with the removal of the secion. Ibadibam 22:38, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Really bad article

IMO poor. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.218.20.4 (talk) 10:17, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

I edited an extremely promotional section on "yoplus". It sounded like someone from the company wrote it. Perhaps someone else can improve it further. - 70.201.128.254 (talk) 03:12, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Market data

I saw the {{citation needed}} tag in the lead and looked around. I found this report ({{cite web}} format: Orgish, Scott (2002-06-12). "Hub Market Report on the Refrigerated Yogurt Market in the U.S.A." (PDF). Swiss Business HUB. Retrieved 2008-06-09. {{cite web}}: Check date values in: |date= (help)), which gives a good overview of the US market, including market share. It says:

Yoplait and Dannon dominate the U.S refrigerated yogurt market. Out of an estimated $2 billion in sales in 2000, all Yoplait flavors combined comprised about 29% of the market with $579 million in sales. All Dannon flavors combined comprised about 18% of the market with $362 million in sales.

There should be some other good info in there for people looking to improve the article. --Ishi Gustaedr (talk) 19:13, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Bad reference link

Reference #2, ("Death by Yoplait Containers", Protect Wildlife. Retrieved on 24 June 2007) is not currently a valid link. I was not able to find the source to correct this issue. W4kda (talk) 13:19, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Product Shrinkage

Yoplait used to come in 8 oz containers. Like many other gorcery purveyors, they have shrunk their container size (currently 6 oz as of 2/23/09) on the sly. Yes, the net wt on the container currently reads 6 oz, but they have done their utmost to sell less product to the consumer for the same price, by keeping the outer dimensions identical while increasing the size of the "offset" on the underside of the container. Yoplait is neither unique, nor particularly egregious in this. But if we're going to list all of the flavors, we should list all of the container sizes as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dawfedora (talk • contribs) 07:06, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Pronunciation

I'm pretty sure I have never heard the final "t" pronounced. It's supposed to be like pseudo-French. See http://www.yoplait.com/spots/default.aspx. I would fix, but I'm not so good with the IPA. (btw, the currently given pronunciations don't actually look like valid IPA anyway.) --Nricardo (talk) 01:12, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

It's not IPA and it should be rendered as such to match the Wiki standard. I don't know how to code the IPA myself, however. Also, according to the TV ads visible on the (USA) homepage, it is pronounced without the final "t". It's not pseudo-French, however: it actually is a French brand name (unlike many Euro-sounding brands in the U.S. :) Un malpaso (talk) 13:49, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

The IPA (based on how the brand name is said in the States) would be /jo-pleː/. I, too, have never heard the final /t/ sound. If this claim is indeed true, Spanish-speakers would likely want to add an /e/ to the pronunciation since words in Spanish don't end in /t/. --Imagineertobe (talk) 07:59, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Yoplait is French for yoghurt

This is the tagline most often associated with the brand yet it isn't in there anywhere. The fact that it is NOT French for yoghurt is of relevance too. Please include this in the article as, surely, an article should have some mention of the thing it is most well known for. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.2.223.96 (talk) 21:31, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
