People Are Just Discovering Petit Filous Isn't Actually Yoghurt

People are just realising that the beloved childhood 'yoghurts' - Petit Filous - aren't actually yoghurts after all.

Yep, our minds are blown too.

So what are they? Well, although they taste and look like yoghurt, it turns out that Petit Filous are in fact made from fromage frais, which is made using a cheese culture rather than a yogurt culture.

The difference is in the taste, and also the consistency, with fromage frais being thicker than yoghurt and essentially a 'soft cheese'.

If you're struggling to believe that Petit Filous is in fact fromage frais, the Petit Filous website explains: "Petits Filous fromage frais provides your child with the goodness of Calcium and Vitamin D."

Meanwhile on the Petit Filous pots, the main ingredient reads as: 'Fromage frais (Pasteurised semi-skimmed milk, Cream (Milk), Lactic Cultures (Milk))'.

Our minds are truly blown.

Others are shocked too, with one person writing online: "MY WHOLE LIFE HAS BEEN A LIE."

While another said: "Mind blown it's not even yogurt!!!"

And a third added: "Childhood ruined 💔."

Meanwhile a fourth wrote: "One of the only ‘yogurts’ I like and it’s bloody fake 😂."

And a fifth added: "Nah wtf, I used to scoop these up every day as a kid and never liked cheese, still don’t, unless it’s melted. That’s a madness tho, I wasn’t even eating yogurt."

Others said it was obvious, however, with one writing: "Well, yeah. It literally says cheese on the pot 😂 🧀 🇫🇷."

While another said: "Fromage means cheese. Common sense."

"I mean they do literally have fromage frais on the packaging 😂🤷‍♂️," added another.

While a fourth wrote: "I'm sorry, worrying how many people thought this was yogurt 😂."

And a fifth said: "Why are people so triggered cheese and yoghurt are both just dairy products it’s not that deep."

Well, you learn something knew every day.
