YoGo is an Australian yogurt dessert snack made by Bega Dairy & Drinks. It comes in a yogurt tub filled with chocolate yoghurt or custard sealed with a plastic lid. Its mascot is the YoGo Gorilla (voiced by Paul Johnstone). There were calls in 2018 for the YoGo Gorilla to be removed from packaging in a push to reduce the promotion of unhealthy products to children.
Brownes Dairy
In Western Australia, a similar yogurt variant, 'Yogo' is produced by Brownes Dairy. Unlike the original YoGo, the advertising for Brownes variant revolved around a purple bird with the slogan Gimme Yogo!.
Brownes Yogo is sold in chocolate flavour, but previously also included strawberry, banana and creamy rice, as well as chocolate variants "Dirt Dessert" and a "Double Decker" range with chocolate and strawberry and a marshmallow top, which were all discontinued in 2013.
