Advertising.
UK relaunch.
Yoplait comissioned an advert when they re-launched Yop as the "smoother way to start the day" with a campaign through McCann-Erickson in April 2004. The campaign targeted teenagers and the spot featured teenagers singing a parody of the Eddy Grant song, "Gimme Hope Jo'anna", in their sleep. The song has been reworked into "Gimme Yop Me Mama" and the teenagers, who are seen asleep against a toilet-roll holder or propped up in the bathroom, are demanding that their mothers give them the drink.
Availability.
Yop comes within and between countries in different bottle sizes. In some countries the bottle size is indicated in litres in others in grams. Smaller bottles are in some countries called: "Yop baby" (100 g France), "Yop mini" (180 g Belgium and France) and "YOP & GO" (300 g Belgium, 330 g France, 30 cl Switzerland)
