Good, I can't believe how manipulative those commercials are, and playing on the word regular by calling the probiotic "bifidis regularis" as though that's a real scientific term. Any yogurt with live cultures does the same thing

Yeah, I khow it's trivial, and just a commercial... so what? That is why these forums exist.
I thought the same thing the first time I saw it.It's like he really thinks it's disgusting-I'm surprised they used it in the commercial.

Yea, what the hell is "bifidis regularis"??? I never heard of it, i'm guessing it's a made up term.
