Oui by Yoplait French Style Yogurt Review
Oui is the new line of yogurt from Yoplait, and it is actually incredible. The French-style yogurt is individual made within the jar it's packaged in. If that sounds pretentious, it is. This is not your standard yogurt. The texture is closer to a custard, and is insanely good. You would not guess this to … Continue reading Oui by Yoplait French Style Yogurt Review
