The 5,000-plus cups of the Greek yogurt that were supposed to be sent to the Sochi Olympics but were denied by Russian customs will instead be donated to New York City food pantries — but they are a tough sell, workers said on Thursday.

Chobani has this contract and likely milk subsidy.
When the needy start getting choosey, they aren’t that needy.
3rd world poor people have more in common with middle class Americans than they do America’s “poor”.
yup, follow the money...
Seems like Yiayia didn't approve of the yogurt's "culture"
The vanilla was quite tasty fresh out of the machine.
On the other hand it took years before I could stand the smell of eggnog again.
LOL! What a great episode!
When I was young I worked in a turkey plant. Will not touch any kind of ground turkey to this day.

When I realized everyone was eating Greek yogurt all of a sudden, I tried the different brands and found that Chobani plain was my favorite. It’s sort of like eating sour cream or creme fraiche or mascarpone, which you don’t want to do too often because of the high fat content. Chobani plain gives you that treat without the guilt. It’s wonderful stuff. I don’t like flavored yogurt, but to each his own.
I worked on a peanut truck when I was a teenager. I couldn’t stand peanuts for a long time.
There used to be a yogurt commercial that showed old rural Russian people eating yogurt in the mountains. I think it was for Dannon. Comment from my roommate: If people ate that yogurt that woman in the commercial is eating, their eyes would pop out of their head. Or as I. B. Singer might say, they’d see all the way to Krakow.
The creamy snack caused a stir last week when Russian officials blocked cases of it bound for the US Olympic Team in Sochi, claiming the U.S. Department of Agriculture didn’t have a proper certificate for shipping dairy products.
Buahahahahaha
Wow, I love that stuff. I rarely buy it, though, because it’s expensive and has a lot of sugar in it.
No preservatives in Chobani yogurt.
Interesting.
Have you tried Fage (Pronounced Fa-yeh) Greek yogurt? It’s my absolute favorite. I know you said you don’t like flavored types, but their fruit is in a separate little packet at the top to mix in if you’d like a little or a lot. The honey Fage is my favorite.
Send it to the Hamptons.
I don’t see why anyone should be surprised about this. If they didn’t like muffin stumps, then you known damn good and well they’re not going to like Greek yogurt.
Same here. Was never a huge fan of yogurt until Chobani showed up. The pineapple is out of this world.
Do you have a CVS near you? On occasion they have sales of Chobani at 2 for $3.00. It goes fast at that price.
