We pride ourselves on being responsive to our customers and welcome all feedback, both praise and constructive criticism. The dialogue helps us to make a better product and to become a more responsible company.<br> <br>We started making the large size yogurts early on in our history, when we were a very small company. At that time, with our low volume production, we could not get any assistance or attention from US cup suppliers. So we bought our cups from a Canadian supplier who was much more willing to work with start-up companies. The most common large size cup yogurt in Canada (and actually in the rest of the world), is the 750g cup (26.5oz). That is why we ended up with a 27oz large size yogurt rather than the traditional 32oz size. Since that time we have grown, and are now able to buy cups from a U.S. supplier, which has reduced the shipping distance. <br> <br>Your point that the 27oz size can be deceptive to the consumer is well taken. That was never our intention. We have recently been taking steps to change our processes, so that we can produce a 32oz size. We are close to having completed these adjustments and in the coming months will convert our 27oz products to 32oz sizes. Wallaby should be available in 32oz sizes by this summer. <br><br>Thank you again; we appreciate your feedback and hope you will reach out to us in the future, should you have any comments regarding our products.<br><br>Sincerely,<br><br>Jerry Chou<br>President<br>Wallaby Yogurt Company Dear Scott,
