It's official: Greek yogurt is now the reigning queen of the dairy aisle. New brands have been sprouting left and right, and one of them is Yopa!, by the makers of YoCrunch. It bills itself as "authentic Greek nonfat yogurt," but how did it taste in comparison to other Greek-style yogurts on the market? To find out, we tasted three fruity classics — strawberry, blueberry, and black cherry — complete with an essential, crunchy granola (an added bonus on the package). Find out how Yopa! yogurt fared.

With the weekend coming up, there is no better time to find out what light beer will taste the best. And whether you're having a quiet night in or out celebrating St. Patrick's Day, it helps to feel prepared about the calorie count, carbs, and alcohol content in each of these readily available light brews. We tasted all of these beers at POPSUGAR HQ, where our editors shared their thoughts. Check out how the light beers matched up after going head to head and which one was the crowd favorite.

Burger King Starts Free-Coffee Fridays; How Good Is Its Coffee?

Burger King's Free-Coffee Fridays Are Worth the Effort

Now that Burger King's gone after the breakfast market in a big way, it wants to make sure consumers know all about it.

Now that Burger King's gone after the breakfast market in a big way, it wants to make sure consumers know all about it. So, for every Friday this month, the chain will offer free 12-ounce coffees during breakfast hours — along with a free coupon for a 22-ounce iced vanilla or mocha coffee with the purchase of a value meal.

Coffee is good, and free coffee is even better. But exactly how palatable is Burger King's new Seattle's Best Coffee? To find out, I hopped into our nearest Burger King to sip it. To my surprise, the coffee tasted fresh, with a nice medium-bodied, roasted flavor and a sweet finish.
Coffee that's fast, free, and pretty darn tasty? I'd say that's a good deal.

McDonald's Advertising Tricks Children's Tastebuds

In a recent study performed by Stanford University, young children were given identical snacks in two distinct packages.

In a recent study performed by Stanford University, young children were given identical snacks in two distinct packages. Some of it was in an unmarked wrapper and the rest was wrapped in a McDonald's label. In each and every test, the youngsters concluded that the food in McDonald's wrappers tasted better than the blank labels.

Study author Dr. Tom Robinson said the kids' perception of taste was "physically altered by the branding."

The study included McDonald's chicken nuggets, hamburgers, and fries, as well as grocery store carrots, milk, and juice. Children were asked whether one tasted better or if they tasted the same. Knowing that the ones in McDonald's wrappers were the clear favorites, I have to wonder if establishing controls on products marketed to children is a good idea after all. What do you guys think?
