Sitting at my desk the other day, I was enjoying the sweet, sweet goodness of some Very Cherry Yoplait Yogurt. What's not to enjoy. It tastes good, it's a pretty healthy snack, and then bam! WTF is up with the container? Is this thing intentionally engingeered to cause frustration? The fat bottom thing may work on some women, but please keep that design away from my yogurt. For those of you that may not be familiar with Yoplait, the containers are wide on the bottom and narrow at the top (see above). Therefore, in order to get the yogurt out, you are forced to jam your spoon into a tiny little hole, and then dig around the wide bottom as you try to get some yogurt out.
Sure, it's all well and get the first few bites. But, towards the end you really have to work to get that yogurt out. And am I the only one who feels like I'm always leaving some yogurt behind? The container has several ridges, ledges and crevices. No matter what angle I take with the spoon, it is pretty much impossible to get the yogurt to realize it's potential. Come on Yoplait, I know you want to differentiate your product, but can I get a cup that is actually easy to eat out of?
Ok, I think I'll have Key Lime Pie yogurt tomorrow. Don't worry Yoplait, I still love you.
