I have been an admirer and consumer of Cabot Greek Style Yogurt ever since I discovered it at the PUBLIX dairy department. It is the only kind of yogurtI would accept, and a favorite for a midnight snack.
The last time I purchased two containers I must have been in a hurry, and unaware that PUBLIX had begun stocking other than the usual plain kind of Greek Yogurt. When I got home I found I had bought a Low Fat Vanilla flavored version by mistake.
Toight I decided to try it. I can only say it is disgusting. Watery instead of thick, and a stomach- turning sweetish taste instead of the unique flavor of the plain Greek style. I could not wait until morning to Google you and let you know it is inedible.
