You remember the Cold War, thought to have died umpty-ump years ago when Gorbachev’s perestroika and glasnost helped knock down the Berlin Wall and the Warsaw Pact?

It’s back, and the culprit is yogurt. The US Olympic team likes it, so Chobani thought it would be great PR to send them 5,000 containers of the stuff (presumably that’s cups, not actual shipping containers). Ah, but

The Russian government says the American-made yogurt cannot enter Russia because the Americans have not submitted the proper paperwork. The United States says the certification required by the Russians would be impossible to attain.

The yogurt makers are growing exasperated.

Gee, you think?

Now the politicians are involved, and debate is getting more heated. Hopefully the heat won’t harm the yogurt.
