yoplait yogurt review
It was almost as good as they say in the commercials! I had a Yoplait nonfat thick and creamy cherry cobbler yogurt. yum! i loved the thick and creamy texture. the nice light cherry taste did seem to have a hint of a crust flavor. so no, not like a real cherry cobbler but delicious nonetheless.
