10. This "Greek yogurt" is disgustingly fake.

I've eaten Greek yogurt in Greece and it tastes completely different -- full of cream (not this low-fat crap they sell in the US), full of flavor. If you see "Greek yogurt" that's made with anything less than whole milk, don't buy it.

"Low-fat Greek yogurt" is an oxymoron. They're forced to thicken it with gelatins to reproduce the creamy real stuff.
