Yoplait sounds like - Yo! Play!
Yoplait (pronounced yo-play) is a company owned by two French holdings, SODIAAL and PAI Management, and is the second best selling brand in dairy products.
In 1964 , over 100,000 French farmers merged their regional dairy co-operatives in order to sell their product on a national level. In 1965 , two of these co-ops, "Yola" and "Coplait", decided to merge, becoming "Yoplait". The logo they chose was a six-petaled flower, each petal representing one of the six main co-operatives that founded the company.
The development of this brand was based on the dynamics of local entrepreneurs, to which the brand is franchised. In 1969, the first franchise was allowed in Switzerland. Yoplait is now present in almost 50 countries in the world. In the United States, General Mills is the sole franchisee.
In 2002, SODIAAL, a group of dairy co-operatives sold 50% of the firm to PAI Management, a private equity fund.
Yah, I know. Way more information than you asked for.
