A green screen with the Dannon Activia logo on it splits across so that we're left with green banners on top and bottom. A woman, in close-up is talking somewhat awkwardly about being irregular. A caption reads, "Helps relieve temporary symptoms of bloating and irregularity." The conversation shifts to different groups of women, but continues along the same trajectory. A caption now reads, "Scientifically proven to help with slow intestinal transit when enjoyed daily for two weeks as part of a healthy diet and balanced lifestyle." There's two women on the street, then three in a hair salon under dryers. Then, two women sitting close on a couch. The caption shifts to say, "Up to $12 will be reimbursed. Offer valid from 3/15/07 through 7/31/07 on specially marked packages. For full rules go to Activia.com". We see a woman eating some Dannon Activia yogurt. We see two young girls walking on the beach. The final shot shows a multi-pack box of Dannon Activia with a caption that reads, "Take the Activia challenge. activia.com"

posted 26-Nov-2008 1:17pm I was wondering if the date that is on the dannon yogurt that I bought is ok after the date. Could you email me back? I never would eat them after the date. Is that ok or what?

posted 2-Feb-2009 7:05pm where are the request forms? Why aren't they on this sight? what good is a challange to try your product if you don't follow thru ? By the way, it doesn't work any better than any fiber food, which don't work either.

posted 5-Feb-2009 11:25am To "anonymous" of Feb 2, 2009: Try actually going to the Activia website. This isn't it. Go to "www.activia.us.com/activia_challenge.asp." Then, go to the rules and order form box and you will then obtain exactly what you wanted.

posted 7-Feb-2009 10:39am I went to web site www.activia.us.com/activia_challenge.asp and there was no web site under that heading. Nor was there any rules and order form box. why do you make things so difficult? perhaps you don't want anyone to enter. check it out.

posted 23-Aug-2009 4:06pm dannon, Please, make a activia without a lot of sugar 17g is over the top. I buy the low fat. I don't use artifical sugar, I don't like the taste. Help us lower our waist lines.

posted 1-Sep-2009 5:40pm I read all these quotes and I agree with most of them. I have been on Activia for two months now, taking it every day. Doesn't do anything for me, still constipated every day with days I now have diarrhea, never had that before. I have tried for the last 3 days to call the 800 number to ask for a refund but the number does not work, I to feel this is all a big SCAM.

posted 22-Sep-2009 11:16am I love the smoothness of Activia, but I have to let you know how great tasting the Key lime is. It has the best Key lime flavor out of all the other brands I have tried,and when you love Key lime as much as I do you know whats good. Every morning I have plain oatmeal and top it with the various Activia flavors. Its a great way to start my day. If you can come up with an orange flavor I would be in heaven.

posted 27-Feb-2010 5:34pm The ad states that if Activia does not work you will get your money back. How do you prove that it didn't work? Get a X-ray of your digestive tract from your doctor,and show it to your grocer? Dumb ad.

posted 21-May-2010 11:23am I've been having activia with the fiber cereal everyday for 3 weeks and OMG what a difference! I'm finally able to have a normal bowel movement almost everyday! Thank you dannon!!!!! I guess everyone is different bc I see a lot of negative feedback on here. I'd suggest seeing a gastro intestinal doctor to make sure everything is okay. I did that first and was told that I was fine, and that it was all diet.

posted 8-Jun-2010 10:45am I have been buying the 4-pack strawberry drinks for 2 months and it really works, bowel movements are now normal daily. However I have going to 4 different stores, and the 4-pack drinks are not available. This is the first week I have miss a drink. I hope it will not be discontinued. For all the negative comments, if you did not get a bowel movement then you may have bowel obstruction, please see your doctor.
