Dear Sons, This is why I don’t buy Yogos

Or, I regret to say that I did indeed do harm to the planet while making this post

Yogos are a tasty treat, this much is true. I put them the category of things that are candy but have plausible deniability of their candy status, much like fruit roll-ups or the little gummy fruit shapes with cartoon characters on the box.

I think I paid $1.88 for this box at Target, on sale. They are pretty expensive but not out of reach for most families. Like most name brands they go on special a lot and there are coupons, so there is no need to ever have to pay the regular retail price.

Sorry the picture is lousy, if you can’t make it out the box is 3.75 inches wide and 7 inches tall, more or less. Depth, not pictured, is about 2 inches.

6 individual pouches come in a box.

This is what they look like all poured out.

And poured back in the box.

We counted counted 166 Yogos, but this could be off by 5 or so either way, as we did this outside and it was windy and the porch slopes and my assistants are inexperienced.

Nutrition information for those interested, click thumbnail for full size. There are two different panels, because 2 of the flavors have different values than the 3rd. It’s not great stuff, but as I said, it’s more or less candy.

I have to admit I make several less than optimum choices a day when it comes to the environment, nutrition, budgeting, so this is not to get up on my high horse. It’s just good sometimes to really look at what we are buying and go hot damn, that’s pretty freaking absurd.
