Advantages: Packaging and price not too bad
Disadvantages: See review
I spotted Asda Light yoghurt range yesterday, and I thought at 38p for a large Muller-sized pot, I couldn't go wrong.
Unfortunately, I was mistaken.
This morning I had some fruit for breakfast and was still peckish, so I managed to avoid the temptation of crisps and reached for the yoghurt (mistake #2).
It looks ok from the outside - whitish packaging, foil lid like a cheaper version of Muller, obvious title of 'Asda Light'. The lid says that it is fat free and 98 calories per pot. It's also described rather Americanly as 'Smooth Raspberry and Cranberry yogurt'. So far, nothing to complain about.
I opened the lid and saw it look very watery with random lumps of yoghurt in (not fruit, just weird looking yoghurt). I stirred it thoroughly, expecting it to get thicker, but though the lumps mainly mixed in, it very still very watery. Even now I can see flecks of white and bits of lump in it, and it worries me slightly because I have no idea what the white bits are.
Still semi-fooled into thinking it might taste okay (mistake #3), I tried a watery spoonful. Quite frankly, it tasted absolutely disgusting. It takes cram packed full of sweetners and chemicals, though looking at the ingredients there's nothing incredibly bad in it, just a list of random things including carrot concentrate and chicory extract (?). The aftertaste is even worse, it tastes like they put bleach or toilet cleaner in it of some kind, just in case the initial taste isn't bad enough for you.
There is very little I won't eat once I start, but this is one of the most disgusting things I've ever tasted (reminding me of a terrible hot dog I had in Eastern Europe once - god knows what I was thinking or what was actually in it). I've had two spoonfuls and I feel sick to my stomach. I've had half a wholemeal roll to try and take the taste away, but it's still lingering and now even the smell is making me want to heave.
Unfortunately I bought another yoghurt in this range and though I hate throwing food out, I am tempted just to chuck it to stop myself being ill.
Summary: I wouldn't eat this again except for a million pounds in cash.
