Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Rich Smith]

  On Tuesday, the Seattle coffee company announced that it's teaming up with France's Danone (NASDAQOTH: DANOY  ) to begin marketing a "jointly created and developed" selection of specialty yogurt products.

• [By Andrew Marder]

  Yogurt for breakfast is good. Coffee for breakfast is good. Yogurt-coffee might be crossing a hidden line, though. Thankfully, that's apparently not whatStarbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX  ) and Danone (NASDAQOTH: DANOY  ) had in mind when they recently announced a plan to release yogurt together starting in 2014. The companies both get a benefit from the agreement, with Danone using Starbucks to get more exposure in the American market, while Starbucks gets another arrow in its food-quiver.

• [By Rich Duprey]

  What exactly is Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX  ) up to? Is it still a drink experience destination or is it pursuing recognition as a broader food and beverage brand? Analysts may view its deal with yogurt maker Danone (NASDAQOTH: DANOY  ) as nothing but creamy goodness, but I think it risks mixing its message too much and will end up confusing the consumer.
