The YoGo Gorilla Mascot
YoGo has a well-known mascot. It is a fun cartoon character called the YoGo Gorilla. A person named Paul Johnstone provides the voice for this gorilla.
Changes to Packaging
In 2018, some people suggested a change. They thought the YoGo Gorilla should be removed from the packaging. This idea was part of a bigger effort. The goal was to encourage healthier food choices for children.
Brownes Dairy's Yogo
In Western Australia, there is a similar yogurt snack. It is also called 'Yogo'. This version is made by a company called Brownes Dairy.
Brownes Yogo Advertising
The Brownes Yogo had its own unique advertising. Their ads featured a purple bird as a mascot. This bird was famous for saying, Gimme Yogo!.
Brownes Yogo Flavours
Brownes Yogo is still sold in a chocolate flavour. In the past, they offered other flavours too. These included strawberry and banana. They also had a creamy rice flavour.
Discontinued Flavours
Some special chocolate versions were also available. These were called "Dirt Dessert" and "Double Decker". The "Double Decker" range had chocolate and strawberry layers. It also featured a marshmallow topping. All these special flavours were stopped in 2013.
