New York’s homeless masses are sour on Chobani.
The 5,000-plus cups of the Greek yogurt that were supposed to be sent to the Sochi Olympics but were denied by Russian customs will instead be donated to New York City food pantries — but they are a tough sell, workers said on Thursday.
“They look at it and go, ‘Eww’” said Debbie Torres, a kitchen worker at Food Bank For New York City.
“I educate them. I tell them to put some granola in the Chobani… I say, ‘Try it!’” said Torres.
“It’s been a long, cold winter and we’re happy to be able to serve fresh cups of Chobani to those in need,” said Hamdi Ulukaya, founder of Chobani.
