On the way back from vacation we stopped for lunch at Panera. Michael ordered the grilled cheese off the kids menu, and it come with an organic yogurt in a tube, what I call Go Gurt. (I know Go Gurt is a brand like Kleenex, but it's just easier.) (And, I've made Michael grilled cheese hundreds of times and he's never eaten them. But Panera's, he devoured.) (No this is not an ad for Panera) (Yes, I will stop with the parentheses.)
This was Doug's first experience with Go Gurt. He had major issues with it. First he couldn't open it. Then, he couldn't understand why anyone would give a toddler yogurt in a tube and expect them not to make a mess. "Worst product I've ever seen. Worst idea I've ever seen. That's not usable" I heard over and over again. Doug is a little bit like the Paul Reiser character in Mad About You and obsesses about crazy ridiculous things. I for one, never, ever do that.
Yesterday we went to one of the many preschool transition programs and met with his teachers. One of the teachers explained that we should try to pack as many things as possible in Michael's lunch that he could open himself. (See my fears were not unfounded.) And, she specifically pointed to Go Gurt, that it is impossible for kids to get those tubes open and they make a mess.
Hours later Doug was still "uh uh, uh uh, uh. Told ya." Like I'm constantly buying the stuff or something.

Too funny. I hate go gurt too, though. It’s a mess and kinda grosses me out. I can hardly open them.

I agree that Go Gurt is impossible for kids to open and sometimes messy…but to help with the messy side, try freezing them…
They make great Popsicles…the kids get a kick out of the novelty of eating them like Popsicles, and they are tasty and healthy too.

I don’t understand GoGurt either. Mostly because yogurt itself grosses me out. It’s the consistency of it. And then you put it in a tube and there is just something wrong with that.
