Baffling-I asked several people (many who I would consider very healthy) if they drank Yakult. Every person I asked responded the same way: "What is that?"
Laughing-I was amazed by the size of the "little" Yakult drinks. These pictures I took illustrate the "little" drinks, they are so funny!
Baffling and Laughing-Without any other explanation the commercial states the following "One little bottle of Yakult contains more than 8 billion Lactobacillus casei Shirota". Now, when I heard this I thought, what in the world is that and I why in the world would I want it? I played the commercial for David and he had the same reaction. What in the world is Lactobacillius Casei Shirota?
Additional Information-Further note, that there are two versions of this commercial. In the other commercial it replaces the "8 billion Lactobacillius casei Shirota" with something like "good bacteria" (I don't remember the exact words on the other version).
KT's Question-I wonder how they choose which version of the commercial to play? Do you think they play the "8 billion Lactobacillius casei Shirota" version during Jeopardy and the "Good Bacteria" verison during the Nascar race?

The hubby is in the same boat as you on this one - he watches both Jeopardy and NASCAR. :)
RO! I find it hard to believe that there are 8 billion of anything in those tiny bottles. Or is the actor just a giant?
Drink it Kim drink it! Be healthy!

1. You are the only human I know that can have Lactobacillius Casei Shirota role of your tongue so smoothly
2. Is it like yogurt?
LMAO!
It sounds like that Activia yogurt that's supposed to make you 'regular'. :)
I have seen yakult commercials and have seen the tiny bottles at the store. What commercial do they play during the bachelor?
if it is as yummy as activia, i'd definitely drink it up! but why do they make these good yogurts so dang tiny?!
LOL. Never heard of it. I'm not sure how it's pronounced, but I can confidentally say I would never drink anything named "Yak-something-or-another"

i don't know what this stuff is, but the guy in the blue shirt sure seems to be enjoying his yakult experience! (the kid, not so much.)
:)
I am so glad that you found the name for it. I swear the bottle is too small to read, and I have often thought it was written in a different language. (We call it the Mexican drink). I have never seen the ad, but we have them at the house ALL THE TIME!
It looks like watered-down strawberry milk. We get this because my kids think it is strawberry milk, and since it is so small, there isn't a big mess when they spill.
I don't have the courage to try it, but it's less than a dollar for 5.
I know, their commercials are pretty funny. If I didn't know the product, I'd be pretty mystified too.
Yakult is from Japan...Growing up, I drank one pretty much every day. It's so small because it's not meant to be a "drink" as such, but more like a medicine. It tastes like yogurt. It's pretty good, and it definitely keeps you regular.
