Signs of the Times?

The yogurt here is different than the Stateside yogurt. The consistency is something like thick milk. Not milkshake thick but thicker than milk. And the flavor is usually strawberry. Everything strawberry! Along with that difference comes the different names that the products have. There is Coke, Sony, IBM. But, some times we find really funny applications of the English language in product names. We've seen: Snob paper towels, Bob napkins, a car battery called Crawl, a drugstore called Fartos, pop (or soda as you will) called Dolly. But as Dawn went for the yogurt today she said, "Do you think that this will be good?" And we all had a good laugh as we thought about the difficulty of milking a BAT!
