They're horribly unhealthy, the second ingredient after yogurt is fructose. I was tucking into a vanilla one last night and thought eww so I looked at the ingredients.

Fructose with fibre in fruit naturally is fine, but as a refined chemical added to food fructose is sweeter than sugar and reacts in the liver just like ethanol (alcohol). Have a look at Dr Robert Lustig's video Sugar: The Bitter Truth on YouTube (more than 2m hits) if you're interested.

But those fudges ones did taste good..

A bit of fructose isn't horribly unhealthy on its own unless like anything it is consumed in excess and is certainly no worse than having a sugar in your tea (half of which ends up as fructose in your blood anyway). Its metabolism is also nothing like alcohols except that eventually it is used to provide energy.

@Edwardia WW - Weight Watchers. pp in my world is "pulse pressure", but it might mean something completely different in WW talk (e.g. per person, pater paulatinus, perpertual, ....).

Suggest you watch Sugar: The Bitter Truth on You Tube. Fructose is metabolised in the liver exactly like alcohol.

These Muller yogurts are always on offer of some sort. I think the offer prices reflect the actual price per pot. The price for an individual pot quoted on the shelf edge is, in my opinion, inflated to make the 'deals' look better.Very few will buy one or two at 60p (or whatever it is) when they can get 5 for a pound. By doing this the manufacturer 'forces' you to buy more than you otherwise would. Their sales increase along with their profit.
Opticians do the same with their 'buy on pair get a second free'. No company could exist giving 2 for the price of one for long unless the price for one is inflated to make it seem a better deal (which means you are ripped off when buying one pair) Basically, if you only want one pair of glasses, they are making you buy two.
Clever but annoying that a company feels it OK to manipulate it's customers in this way.
It's about time somebody campaigned against these fake offers (Martin??)

I think you are spot on aderussell.

Our household does buy quite a few Muller products, but we never pay the 'full price' for them.

Where we live, we are only a short distance from Sainsbury's, Morrisson's, Tesco and Asda and you can virtually guarantee that when a Muller offer has finished at say Tesco's, it will start in Asda or another outlet.

I agree with you that this is wrong - but with the so called half price wine offers and in particular, furniture stores with their 'continuous' half price sales - it seems that until legislation changes, these companies will continue to provide 'offers' that in effect are just marketing ploys aimed at deceiving the customer.
