The only yogurt we had as kids was Knudsen brand, lemon yogurt. My sister and I just called it Knudsen Yogurt, not knowing what the words meant.
Then we saw a cartoon or something with a witch making a broth, and one ingredient was "Eye of Newt."
After that we thought we were asking for Newts and Yogurt.
