Public beware! I have been a daily yogurt-consumer for all of my life, preferring Dannon to other brands. Dannon has — Always — provided 8 oz of Fruit on the Bottom yogurt in their containers. Well, over the past few months I've been noticing a new trend!
Dannon is now putting out 6 oz containers of Fruit on the Bottom yogurt at THE SAME PRICE as their formerly-8 oz containers. How unfair, right? Wait, it gets better! These are only 6-oz containers! They do not contain 6 oz of yogurt! They contain only about 4 oz of yogurt, with a statement on the front of the container that says "room in every cup for your favorite mix-in". So they are leaving 2 oz of empty space in their already-decreased portion size and justifying it by saying you can add in your favorite mix-in. Yuck!
So, not only are they ripping off the American yogurt-consuming population by decreasing their portion size from 8 oz to 6 oz, they are only providing 4 oz of yogurt along with 2 oz of EMPTY SPACE and trying to justify why they are doing so! All the while charging the same exhorbitant price as they have always charged!
I have attempted to rectify this directly by calling the toll free number on the back of the yogurt container, but to no avail. They will not say or do anything to help their customers, not even send them coupons good on their yogurt. I might as well have been talking to a squawking banshee on the other end of the phone!
I say we all band together and form a yogurt-boycott! Dannon's behavior as a yogurt capitalist is truly disgusting and should not be tolerated! I hope that they are one day caught by the appropriate officials and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law!
