Viral Yogurt? Why Does This Dannon Ad Have Over 1 Million Views?
It's no surprise that everyone wants in on the Greek yogurt game. Whether consumed solo, in flavored form or as a base for granola, Greek yogurt led the pack of breakfast trends in 2013. (And our editorial director thought we were nuts to devote so many pixels to Greek Yogurt Week back in '12.) So of course major corporate food entitites like Dannon are hustling to create product to compete in the increasingly crowded market. Which has now, ultimately and unfortunately, led to this ad for Dannon's Oikos Greek Yogurt, featuring forgotten TV stars John Stamos and Bob Saget, a yogurt mustache and a sexually suggestive femme-bot. Watch it at your peril (and probably not at your desk), and if you truly have nothing to do, click through to YouTube to read the absolutely insane commenst thread, including this gem: "How the hell did full house get involved with greek yogurt?" Touché, Dannon!
