Quebec language watchdog investigating yogurt spoons

MONTREAL—Quebec’s language watchdog has issued a statement insisting that it has not banned a certain type of frozen-yogurt spoon.

It has merely opened a yogurt-spoon investigation.

The Office québécois de la langue française confirms that it has opened an investigation after receiving a complaint about the plastic spoons served by the American frozen yogurt chain Menchie’s.

Someone complained that the plastic pastel-coloured spoons contained the words, “Sweet Moosic.”

That's what is corrupting the French youth in Quebec...those bloody yogurt spoons...

People blaming that cheap beer at their local corner store need to get their heads checked.
