And the package includes a forty page recipe book and carbohydrate table. Then another shock on the shocks; they were filled with yogurt and cost $.20 a pint. We knew this shock thing was getting out of hand , but can you imagine 20 cents a pint. Ridiculous! Originally we planned to throw the Yogurt shocks ' in with the other freebies that our enterprising editors had grubbed. However, when we found out how well they worked, and that the manufacturer planned a testing junket to the South of France, we decided to give them an unbiased test.

Take a look at the accompanying charts and graphs and notice how totally impossible they are to understand. Pseudo-science - is a wonderful publishing trick. All things considered the Yogurt shocks must be co nsidered a major breakthro ugh in su spe n sion technology and Franco-American relations [ha-h a], But are they worth the price. Expensive? Yes, but we got a price break down at the dairy and found that non-homogenized Yogurt won't fade in the middle of a moto and can be eaten during Six-day qualifiers. Hey. it's your money.
