It was hard to find a picture of a Yo-J carton. I guess the idea hasn’t taken off yet. I saw the commercial, and the company that makes it was nowhere to be seen. Apparently, it has been released in limited quantities. How fortunate I am to get Yo-J anytime I want. Maybe the company that makes it is embarrassed they have been making this for the past 10 years and nobody likes it except for me.

Yo-J is the next big skateboarder drink. That’s what it tries to be anyway, competing with industry heavyweights such as Capri- Sun and Sunny Delight. Don’t forget THE BIG MAN!

The commercial shows cow skateboarding on the carton. TOTALLY EXTREME!!!!!!!! I don’t know what they were thinking when they came up with this idea. Its liquid yogurt. Easier to drink than those Danimals, and still has the same great taste of Trix Yogurt. (I know my yogurt) Yo-J is not yogurt. Nor is it juice. Its just…there.

The Yo-J I tried was Raspberry-Orange. If there has been one thing I have learned after drinking a Yogurt and Juice hybrid, its “Keep raspberries and oranges away from each other. Its weird. You think your tasting raspberry, then you taste orange. Then you’re just confused. It’s a bad feeling to be brought into a stupor by yogurt and juice. It’s also very hard to recover...but you always come back FOR MORE!!!!!!!

Rather than buying Yo-J, you can just make your own…

TOP SECRET RECIPIE FOR YO-J

1. Take some yogurt. It doesn’t matter what kind.
2. Put the yogurt into your backpack/purse/pocket.
3. Be sure to allow exposure to heat and the sun.
4. Leave the yogurt where you put it for about a week.
5. When the week is up, refrigerate the yogurt for half an hour.
6. You will find that the yogurt is no longer thick as it once was, and it now runny and drinkable.
7. Enjoy your homemade Yo-J!

You will get the same taste and thickness as you would with store bought Yo-J. I’ve probably saved Yo-J enthusiasts 10’s of dollars.

It may be bizarre, but you have to admit you will feel totally extreme when you drink this. Just like the cow in the commercial. Such is the life of one who drinks Yo-J, which is TOTALLY EXTREME. (I’m sure the process to make Yo-J isn’t the same as mine…or is it?)
