CHICAGO — YoCrunch, the original yogurt packaged with fun, mix-in toppings, has launched a new yogurt with CHIPS AHOY! cookie pieces to expand its industry-leading yogurt topping offerings. The new addition means YoCrunch yogurt is now available with the top two best-selling cookies — OREO and CHIPS AHOY!.
New YoCrunch with CHIPS AHOY! cookie pieces features smooth, creamy low-fat vanilla yogurt with pieces of 'America's favorite chocolate chip cookies'. Each cup is 190 calories, with 5 grams of protein and provides 20 percent of the daily value for both calcium and Vitamin D (based on a 2,000 calorie daily diet).
"The addition of CHIPS AHOY! topping to the YoCrunch line of yogurts offers crunchy mix-ins in a portable yogurt package, and delivers on our promise of 'Great Yogurt. Real Fun!'," said YoCrunch Senior Vice President of Marketing Ralph Tschantz.
Suggested retail price for the YoCrunch yogurt with CHIPS AHOY! cookie pieces is $0.79 to $0.89 per six-ounce cup. This summer, YoCrunch will introduce a multipack of four, four-ounce cups with a suggested retail price of $2.99.
