Products I Don't Like

1. Any yogurt marketed for kids/babies. I don't eat yogurt but Masher and EG do, and they love plain yogurt. There's no reason to put 20-some grams of sugar into a little kid's yogurt, or into a little kid. Anyone who works at Horizon Dairy in Marketing should babysit for me after giving EG a container of that stuff.
2. Retractable leashes: This might have been a good idea when it first came out and people bought them for microdogs. I don't think it was intended for dogs that aren't trained to walk nicely on a loose lead. I sympathize with people whose dogs pull on the lead because mine was nearly impossible to train out of it. What the retractable leash does is give them 16 feet to build up more momentum when they pull on the lead, making the force on your rotator cuff that much greater. And if they're out of control at 6 feet, they're both out of control and out of reach at 16 feet. Plus they tend to get tangled in other leashes when sniffing other dogs' butts and going in a circle.
