#ChotallyAwesome

Last month I received an email from Chobani telling me they were going to travel across the country to meet some of their fans, and they wanted to make me one of their stops.

Say wha???

I emailed back enthusiastically willing to participate!

Well….the day was today…and it was #ChotallyAwesome!

I didn’t have a large group of people who were able to come…but two of my new running friends, Kevin and Cathy, were able to come by and participate in the fun!  We were sitting in my living room and heard what sounded like a large truck.  We went outside and saw the Chobani truck parking outside my house!

That’s right…the truck came to me!

IMG_7545 I met Lee and Joe, the guys behind the wheel of the Cho Truck (if you’re reading…hi guys!)  They were awesome and let me be a dork and take pictures with the truck (I took some with them but they turned out to be too dark) :(

We chatted a bit along with Kevin and Cathy, and then Joe and Lee gave me a goody bag from Chobani complete with a signed card welcoming me to the Chobani family, a beanie, a bracelet, water bottle, and glass Chobani cup along with FOUR CASES OF CHOBANI!!!  I was overwhelmed and surprised!

Then Joe took me over to do a quick little interview for a video they’ll be putting together once the Cho truck is done with its tour.  I was a bit put on the spot so I was all over the place, but I trust that Chobani has excellent people that work in their media department and won’t make me look like a babbling Southern girl! :)  I’ll make sure to post the video when I know that it’s done!

Kevin and Cathy didn’t walk away empty handed – they also got 4 case to take home and enjoy!

Not too long after we bid farewell to our new friends as they headed off to get some rest…they have more events in Atlanta to share the Chobani love with tomorrow and Wednesday!

Now it was time for me to make some room in the fridge for all this goodness!  I got Strawberry, Blueberry, Orange Vanilla, and Key Lime flavors…yum!

I know the hubby and I wouldn’t be able to get through all this so I’ll be taking some to work to share with my coworkers, some to my parents house this weekend to share with them, and enjoy some for myself.

My favorite part was receiving the card from the employees of Chobani – I’ll be hanging this in my cube at work tomorrow -

Chobani – a HUGE THANK YOU for stopping by my house and sharing Chobani with me and my friends.  You guys rock and I look forward to working with you in the future!!

Have you tried Chobani?  What’s your favorite flavor?

Until next time,

  1. WOW that is too cool! They are really good to their fans! You mentioned a couple of flavors I have not tried yet... Key Lime and Orange Vanilla. Those sound so yummy - does the orange one taste like a creamsicle?

    1. Same here...it's a great substitute for sour cream...I just used the plain yogurt in a Spinach dip recipe last week and you couldn't tell the difference

  4. Love this! So awesome! I really wish that I could have yogurt but being lactose intolerant doesn't lend itself to being #ChotallyAwesome :( But so fun that you were able to be part of this. Can't wait to see the video :)

  5. That is awesome! Wished I lived closer so I could have been there for the stop. I love their stuff. Um.. can they make a detour to Kentucky?
