Here Comes 'Brogurt'

Back in August, the Wire's Rebecca Greenfield predicted an oncoming Greek yogurt backlash. While this hasn't quite happened yet, the knowledge that our world is now inhabited by something being deemed "brogurt" implies perhaps the end of days for this thick, creamy snack.

Yes, Grub Street today informed us of the existence of "Brogurt."  Simply called "Powerful," the brand promises "a new Greek yogurt specifically suited to address the unique health and nutrition needs of the most neglected consumers in the category: men." Their tagline? "Find Your Inner Abs." Who are these men that eat this brogurt? Why they are gods, based on the pictures featured on Powerful's site:

And the flavors just seem like normal, you know, fruit flavors. So basically it was totally necessary that this yogurt be developed lest men degrade themselves to actually eat a product whose main advertising target seems to be female. (This blog post indicates that women can in fact eat this brogurt too.)

The concept of "brogurt" is not entirely new. In fact Conan even featured a commercial for Brozen Brogurt the show's "sponsor."
