The jist of it...

Minnesota based General Mills buys Yoplait and realizes Yoplait is part of a French cartel of yogurt and dairy companies colluding to drive up prices in French supermarkets.  General Mills notified the French authorities.

     General Mills is a hero to the French people. Let's add their name to the calendar, so now we can get kids named General Mills Martin. Wink

More likely General Mills just didn't want to deal with it.  By exposing it, they are immune to fines.  Still, a win for French consumers.
