tasty memory flash, maybe

I take my first taste of this:
strawberry banana
So Delicious
Dairy Free
coconutmilk
yogurt alternative

and think "It's like that Dannon!"
(re: the strawberry banana flavor)
the memory of which must be from between 1980 and 1986

and I remember again
the yogurt cups back then weren't plastic;
they were wax-coated paper
with rolled lips at the top
that you could unroll
and chew with your teeth.
I don't remember how they were sealed shut on the top.
Aluminum foil like now, or something else?

That sudden memory may even be false.
Was it really Dannon I ate back then?
Did they have this flavor?
I'm pretty sure there was a vanilla flavor I ate.
I think the vanilla came in blue containers. But maybe yellow.
Not sure I really had strawberry banana way back then,
that might be from more recently.

There's this which mentions them using paper-wax cups in the past:

According to this photo, they did have vanilla in a blue container.

But I wasn't able to find out how long ago they started making strawberry-banana.
