Because I love yoghurt, you see, but the delivery system is less than ideal1. Utensils are only acceptable in a dinner context – having to use a spoon every time you fancy a fruity snack is nonsense. If you had to use a knife and fork to eat a banana, the entire banana industry would collapse in on itself in one great big lickety-split of a jiffy2. Let that be a lesson.
Of course, with a banana it’s easy to get away with using your hands. Not so much with a yoghurt. Seriously, you try eat a yoghurt with your fingers and you end up looking like some kind of crazy yahoo. Uncouth doesn’t even begin to cover it. Rascalous is closer, but that’s a made up word and who in their right mind has time for those in this day and age.
Anyway, this has all been a roundabout way for me to say that I really like Yop. I had one a minute ago and it was delicious. Forest fruits 4 lyfe, yo.

- I’m ignoring mashed banana, which pretty much necessitates a fork. Sure, you can mash it up by beating it with your fists, and in a pinch you could justify that to onlookers by saying it slept with your girlfriend or whatever, but I guarantee they’ll get suspicious when you start pouring on the sugar.

Have you never drunk proper yogurt out of the pot, then? Totally manageable with a little squeezage.
Yeaaah, but it all kind of sticks to the edges. Which I suppose it probably does with Yop as well, but you can’t see into the bottle properly so you don’t mind so much.
i have been known to drink yoghurts from the carton at my desk, too lazy to fetch a spoon from the kitchen. it works best if you’ve neglected to put them into the fridge and the sunshine has made them a little warm and runny… i sometimes run a finger around the inside when i’m done, if nobody’s looking.
also, you can (if you’re careful) mash the banana in its skin, carefully open the top and then squeeze it out in tatsy mouthfuls. this too works best if you’ve neglected to put them into the fridge and the sunshine has made them a little warm and runny…
i’ll get my coat.
Oh wow. That banana thing is like homemade Froobs. But how do you stop the skin from splitting when you’re squeezing it?
I’ve just realised that a lot of your comments involve fringe cuisine. This is something you should capitalise on.
i meant “tasty mouthfuls”. tatsy mouthfuls would be unpleasant. but you have a point. i should think about this.
it’s goof, cute and good
I always liked Frubes to be honest I need to get some of them today. I really enjoyed these. Great for the 11 o clock break in the CBS or BNS
Oh and as for bananas there is only one way to eat a banana and I’m the only person that knows how to correctly open a banana (dont open from the stalk thats the handle fool)
Like some kind of banana lollipop.
I’m not a big fan of drinking yogurt but at least you do it for the pleasure. I can’t stand people who drink that Acti-mal shite and then try to extoll the virtues of Biffo-does-active.
I once made a hash pipe out of an apple (seen it in a movie, but it works none the less) and then ate the apple. What a pracrical fruit, I’m working on my coconut pint glass as we speak.
Um, I don’t remember leaving that comment. And if I did then I think I mant “good” not “goof”. I wouldn’t use a word like “goof”, not in that context.
Anyway, next post, hey.
ha. what Annie said. and write one for me while you’re at it.
I think we put too much pressure on him
Or maybe he’s just planning something big.
NB: No, he isn’t.
