Most people who know me probably think I am about to talk about wine, but oh no YooHoo!YooHoo, in a box or glass bottle. YooHoo is nostalgic to me and many other 40-somethings from New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. A little history about it, promotions for YooHoo were done by Yogi Bera and the Yankees in the 1950's and 1960's when the company went nationwide. So I broke down and decided I am going to splurge a little at the shore and buy some YooHoo for the kids. I took it a step further, while sitting on the beach, I decided I am drinking one of these myself. As a Mother, I am constantly holding back for calories or saving snacks for the kids. I thought, I am down the shore, I'm drinking a YooHoo. I reached in pulled out what I thought would rocket me back to my childhood- hot days and a cold YooHoo. I took off the straw, punched the box, and ... With pursed lips I sipped it through a tiny straw. At first I thought yummy (because that is what I thought I should think). However, the taste was there but the feeling was not the same. The small straw meant no gulping. The size meant that it was finished before I got started. It left me unfulfilled and wanting. So, DrPepperSnapple Group, I do not agree with your decision to use juice boxes for YooHoo. I'm not even sure if it can even get cold enough in a box. There needs to be chill from the glass bottle. So while it may be good enough for my children, who don't know any better, I definitely think I cannot take the disappointment again.
By the way, if this blog had been about wine, there is no debate. Bottle every time.
