Manufacturers should come up with a new shape for these plastic containers, to enable the consumer to get right into every nook and cranny with a spoon. There always seems to be some part of the moulding, usually at the very bottom, that the spoon can't get into. Whilst we're at it, how about a foil
lid that doesn't tear and comes off in one?
(?) Sqeezable Yogurt is Baked.

Weren't Ski yoghurt pots like this. If I recall correctly they were made out of two pieces of plastic glued together. The top (and significantly larger part) contained the yoghurt and was curved and spoon-friendly at the bottom. The bottom half was a small inverted cup that was horizontal-surface-friendly at the bottom. Don't know if they still make them or if they were ever sold outside the UK. Come to mention it I'm not alsolutely certain that they were Ski. |

[Rods]: Doesn't help with your tongue problem, though. |

Contact [benfrost], see if he can come up with something. |
|

The mind boggles. Well, not completely, nor unpleasantly, but I do think that whatever benfrost suggests would not be sold except in those funny shops with the painted-over windows. |

<aaghs! at the various mental images that Dog_Ed created...> |

This is baked, anyway, Dannon's 'Go-Gurt'. Don't even need a spoon. Or the drinkable kind... |
|

I remember when Rods Tiger was a cardboard actor. A very early memory. |

The 'Corner' range of yoghurts (as in, Fruit Corner, Crunch Corner) are pretty good for this kind of thing. Nice shallow, curved pots. |

i saw something similar to this at a baby-products show. it was a bowl and spoon combo for feeding the little ones. the bowl had a small bulge near the bottom edge which matched the radius of the spoon, so that you could get every last bit of food out of the bowl. it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to make yoghurt packaging witht the same bulge. sorry no link, i can't remember the name of the company or the product. |

yack! UnaBubba, my friend, you've had some unsettling ideas, but methinks 'Yo-Worms' beats em all. *shudder* |

The "toothpaste" type yoghurt tube wouldnt work, the lumps of fruit would get stuck... Yo worms indeed!!! |

Sorry DaveSt - 'tis baked. Allez to France and you will find yaourt (sp?) pots in real glass with a nice smooth curve between the wall and the base. Just read this then went down to the fridge, not thinking about it at all, and there were the four pots we just brought back with us. Works fine with a teaspoon (but not a dessert spoon which is what we just used!) |

And - amazingly - they have heavy duty foil lids that come off in one piece without tearing as well. (And superb vanille flavour.) |
|

Shucks - I would have liked to give a croissant, but... |

Baked. In Japan you can buy yogurt in any "conbeenie" (convenience store) that has slightly squarish, slightly rounded interior corners. It comes with an unfolding spoon pressed into the lid which has edges to match the corner. By the time you are done with the yogurt, the container's so clean you could, uh, eat off it. |
