Well, Pumpkins, it’s happened. The Big Apple has legislated a nibble bill declaring yogurt the official snack of New York state.

Details on the role of an official bacteria bill are running thin. Is it enforceable? And, the most pressing question that pops to mind - why? Rumours are swirling of tubs of yogurt being legislated at cocktails. Bars? “Hey, Fred, hold the pretzels and toss me a fist full o’ that nice probiotic!” Nacho flavoured Greek style at tailgate parties.
I imagine BrandUSA marketing dollars will be all over this lacto-bacillus puppy. “The Yogurt Snack Capital Of The World!” Porter better top up capacity.
