Wegmans cannot keep cherry in stock.. when I was there last they had just put some out and i grabbed a dozen. I'm content with blueberry as a substitute.

I'm still on my buying local kick.
The "greek" yogurt fad is one of the best things to happen to upstate NY agriculture, and I'm loving it.
Chobani, is rich, smooth and amazingly healthy.


Made in Chenango County, with upstate NY milk

I just got a lemon one to try. The texture is really wonderful. What flavors do you recommend? Although I'm a fan of all things lemon - I'm not crazy about this flavor. I'm willing to try others . . .

yeah, I love them, too.Especially cherry and lemon, I can't get enough of them.
Seems that I'm addicted, too

I think the pineapple is my second favorite - but I can't figure out for the life of me why it has 2.5g of fat when the others have 0. (It contains no coconut - like some other brands like to put in their pineapple.) Ideas?

[Matt]

sometimes they have to add fat to enhance texture, taste, or to add smoothness. The pineapple probably disrupts one or many of those three natural properties of the yogurt and they added fat to get it up to par.

[Kelly]

Makes sense. I'd recommend adding something to the lemon to get it up to par.
Um. . . bacon ought to do the trick!

Was shopping for running shoes. I was happy to see NEW BALANCE manufactures all their shoes in the USA. Bought them.

Not all are US made...a fair percentage of them are though. Mine were made in China. I love NBs....I've been wearing them for at least 10 years. I don't think I have abnormally wide feet...but their wide selection fits me like no other shoe. I have 2 pairs of sneakers and a pair of "water" shoes. I've tried just about every other brand and don't think I ever will again.

ahhh.. i see in their marketing tag they imply that all are.. but clearly are trying to sound more noble than they actually are.
