    Last year, I started eating Activia regularly because I thought it was good for my diet but then it actually gave me digestive problems, of the worst kind. I thought I was developing hemmorhoids, sorry TMI but ever since I stopped eating it, I've been fine with no problems! I knew something was up with this stuff! :[

    Thing is, pretty much any yogurt can help get you regular again...they just gave their active cultures a special magical name and pretended it was better than the stuff that's in every other brand of yogurt, so they could charge you more for it.

    But I also had a constipation problem. I reduced the amount of milk and cheese I eat (drink a glass of soy milk every day instead), and eat yogurt with granola every morning. Regular as clockwork now.

    It's almost like the FDA's gaping loopholes regarding the claims that people can make regarding drugs and treatments are actually harmful.

    Activia is scary. I don't have digestive troubles but once accidentally ate some. Then I had digestive troubles.

    Yeah, but in the commercial it doesn't REALLY say what it's for. It doesn't say "it makes you poop." It just implies it's good for your belly...so I can see how people are confused. PS...is there a real market for the chronically constipated? Does anyone else know a middle-aged woman with this problem?

    @PoisonPixie: YES, and most sufferers are women (most ads for stuff like this is aimed at women for that reason: they are the market). It really, really sucks. I have literally gone to the hospital with constipation. It is the second most pain I have ever been in and when you consider that the first worst is a chronic neurological syndrome then you know it’s bad. (Also, I'm only 26.)

    In many parts of the world, yoghurt is a savoury accompaniment, used in many dishes, so not at all a girly thing.

    When did yogurt become a strictly female thing? I'm a guy and I friggin' love yogurt. Granted, I only like strawberry and blueberry, but that doesn't mean it's not yogurt.

    @gobblegirl: Yoghurt! "Yoghurt, yogurt, yoghourt, youghurt or yogourt" says Wikipedia. I wanted to see how common the "yogurt" and "yoghurt" variations are in different English-speaking countries and got this long list. I had no idea there were all those different versions of yogourt.

    The way the title of the post is italicized, I thought Yogurt was the name of something. Like the sequel to Milk.

    For some of us, "shoe shopping" is not good. You might as well call it "bra shopping good" or "car's at the mechanic good." And the women in that commercial need to lose their powers of speech. I can hear their smugness even when I use the mute button.

    @beatrixcomet: No worries. Dodai was, in fact, being funny. Those commercials are not. But I hate them with a fiery, all-consuming passion, so I may be a bit biased.


    I have a theory: I think the real message of those commercials is, "see, lesbian relationships are just like any other! It's not all sexytimes and frolicking. Sometimes it's two young, overeducated, underthinking people sitting around playing stupid word games to make each other laugh. AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO FORCE YOU TO WATCH IT MWAHAHAHAHAHA!"
