History

Yop is a product originally from France, and is produced by the yogurt manufacturer Yoplait. Later Yop was marketed to different countries worldwide. Yoplait claims that Yop was the first drinkable yogurt in Canada.{{cite web|url=http://www.yoplait.ca/yop/en/yop.aspx|access-date=12 October 2012|title=Products|publisher=Yoplait|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120622233421/http://www.yoplait.ca/yop/en/yop.aspx|archive-date=2012-06-22|url-status=dead}}

Advertising

=UK relaunch=

Yoplait commissioned an advertising campaign, from McCann-Erickson, when they re-launched Yop as the "smoother way to start the day" in April 2004. The campaign targeted teenagers with the television advert featuring teenagers singing a parody of the Eddy Grant song, "Gimme Hope Jo'anna". The song was reworked into "Gimme Yop, Me Mama" and the teenagers, who are seen asleep against a toilet-roll holder or propped up in the bathroom, demand that their mothers give them the drink to wake them up.[McCann relaunches Yoplait Yop drink http://www.campaignlive.co.uk/news/207362/][The clip: Yop - Me Mama https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCpeIKVIHbY]
