cups-pyramid-with-new

We kinda feel for Chobani. The “Greek” yogurt company only wanted to amplify the good will earned by its sponsorship of American Olympians and this cool follow-up to its Super Bowl spot by sending product samples to U.S. athletes in Sochi…but Putin’s “regulators” were like, “Nyet” due to arcane “customs rules”, something something.

Chobani rightly suspected that this move had nothing to with the recent Whole Foods decision to stop selling its products or any lame jokes you might make about degenerate Western “cultures” entering the former Soviet Union.
