"The Non-Fat Yogurt" is the seventy-first episode of the NBC sitcom "Seinfeld". It was the 7th episode for the 5th season. It aired on November 4, 1993.

Plot

Jerry, Elaine and George eat at a non-fat frozen yogurt shop in which Kramer has invested, but gain weight and fear that the yogurt is not as healthy as its purveyors claim. Jerry inadvertently says the word "fuck" (which is censored) while near the shop owner's son, who starts to use the word frequently. Elaine commissions a laboratory to evaluate the yogurt and unknowingly gives her boyfriend, Lloyd Braun (also George's nemesis), the idea to promote name tags for everyone in New York City, which he then suggests to the current mayor of New York City, David Dinkins. Kramer's date with a lab technician produces a very odd cholesterol test result for Dinkins' opponent, Rudy Giuliani.

Trivia

* This is the first appearance by Lloyd Braun. He was played by Peter Keleghan. Matt McCoy will reappear as Lloyd Braun in The Gum and The Serenity Now.
* As the episode was to air just days after the New York City mayoral election, the production crew's solution was to produce two different versions of the episode: one in which Dinkins won, and another in which Giuliani emerged victorious. The cast would record a line mentioning Dinkins, followed by the same line, with Dinkins name substituted with Giuliani's. After Giuliani was declared the winner, the corresponding version aired on television. Giuliani's cameo was filmed on the morning after his victory. Both versions of the episode were included on the Season Five DVD.
* If Dinkins had emerged as the winner, the character of Jackie Chiles might not have existed. As Dinkins declined to appear in person, actor Phil Morris, who was later cast as Chiles in the seventh season, was going to be used as a spokesman for Dinkins in this episode.
