Kroger's BzzAgent Campaign



My newest campaign I am participating in from BzzAgent is the Kroger Good-For-You campaign. In my BzzKit I received a $10 Kroger gift card to purchase Kroger Greek and CARBmaster yogurt as well as CARBmaster milk, coupons to pass to my friends and family, and a brief introductory card.

My BzzKit
Using the gift card. I made a few, separate purchases of the Kroger yogurts, but the first one I made was with the gift card, with which I got a few of the yogurts and the Vanilla CARBmaster milk.

CARBmaster Yogurt. They were my favorite. There is a great variety of delicious flavors! The consistency is better than the Greek yogurts. Some of the flavors, the texture was similar to the Greek yogurt (see below) but most of the CARBmaster yogurts were creamy, smooth, and not too thick/thin. Some of the flavors I have tried: Caramel Spice Cake, Strawberry Colada, Strawberry Pomegranate, Cherry, Cinnamon Roll.

Greek Yogurt. Will not purchase again. The consistency is gritty and chalky and thinner than what I expect Greek yogurt to be. The flavors weren't that good. And after eating the yogurt, I had a thin film covering my teeth and tongue. Some of the flavors I tried: Vanilla, Blueberry, Pineapple Mango. A note about the Greek Yogurts: mix well before consuming. The yogurt is chunky and visually unappealing when first opened (see picture below).

CARBmaster Vanilla Milk. Watery but delicious. Sweet but nutritious. I tried adding it to cereal, but the vanilla flavor didn't work with the cereal; however, the watery consistency was less noticeable with the cereal added to it. I am curious to try the regular, unflavored milk.

Bzzing 'bout it. I've talked with a few people. Out of those I spoke with, only a couple seemed interested. My sister was interested in trying the yogurts, but sounded disgusted when I told her what I thought of the milk ("ewww"). I actually got my mom and step dad to test out a few of the yogurts. My mom agreed with me about the texture/consistency of the Greek yogurts. She tried out the plain flavor of Greek and was unhappy about it, saying it was gross and that she didn't like the film on her teeth/tongue. I haven't handed out any of the coupons yet, but am planning on getting those passed out very soon.
