In 1993, Seinfeld aired an episode called "The Non-Fat Yogurt." This was when frozen yogurt shops were appearing everywhere nationwide, claiming to taste like ice cream with but no fat.
In the episode, Jerry and Elaine become regular customers at a non-fat frozen yogurt joint, and start gaining wait in the process. They begin to suspect that the yogurt isn't "non-fat' and they have it tested only to discover there's a lot of fat.
Although the writers of Seinfeld hadn't created that episode to claim that frozen yogurt
wasn't as healthy as advertised, that's exactly what came of the episode.
The following year, New York Magazine released a story on false claims made by frozen yogurt companies about the calorie count and fat content of their food. The yogurt companies mentioned in the article are no longer prominent figures in the business.
