YOP Bottles

GreeBo

I noticed recently that Yoplait have redesigned their YOP bottles, so why oh why is the lip still the sharpest object known to man?

Why not use a straw?!?

Most shops that sell YOPs dont sell straws.
Why not make them smooth like all other bottles?

Yoghurt through a straw.
Sounds like hard work to me.

By aggravating your lip with the sharp plastic whole realms of as of yet undiscovered tastebuds are revealed and the yop tastes that much better.

Alright, I haven't a clue.

I agree, it has an orgasmic effect. I seriously advise anyone to try yop when you really hungover , works wonders.

I find it a pain the way when I go to remove the plastic ring which holds the lid on that it normally pulls the whole lid off and splashes yop everywhere, hope the new one has improved upon that.

Actually I have found the way to do it is to buy the cheap tesco ones, they taste better and dont assault you with yoghurt when you open them.

Tell Yoplait!
Be sure to open your letter with a load of flattery before you dive into comments about how the lip is so sharp that you once saw McGyver cut a suspension bridge cable with one of them.
Mention the spashes too (might be too much lid glue).

There was a letter to the Irish Times a few months back from an old dear describing her difficulties in opening packaging these days, her dexterity not being what it used to be. She'd hate the Club Sport bottles with the cover over the cap AND a foil-like lid over the bottle, under the cap.

The splash problem comes from the fact that the lid is only held on by the sealing ring, and when you pull on it to remove it it takes the whole lid with it, is bad design, the tesco ones also have a sealing ring BUT they have a screw top too.

Do Aldi sell that scrumalicious drinking yoghurt in Ireland? It slaughters Yop.

skywalker

was on holidays in spain recently, you could get litres of yop like material there. yummy stuff. a litre of this yop like fruits of forest flavoured substance defeated any hangover.

dont ever put it in coffee though. :eek:

Anyone else suffer from the 'sucker' effect from yop bottles where it seems to suck your lips into it, until its stuck on your face... causing even more discomfort than the sharp edge thing.

For a laugh, I once wrote a letter of complaint to Tayto about how skimpy their bags of crisps were and enclosed an unopened bag that must've contained about 3 crisps. I signed it with my missus' name, because I realised how sad a thing I was doing was. Anyhow, got an apology letter,saying it was a rare machinery malfunction that may have caused it (my arse) and 8Euro postal voucher. Result!!

Thats all you got?

When I was younger I found a raisin in my whole nut bar of chocolate so I sent it off to Cadbury to see what they'd say. Sent me back a big box of chocolate and a couple of the big bars. They also sent a quite rude letter with it which I wasn't impressed with. But I consoled myself with my free chocolate

Sorry a bit off topic.

thetrickykid

Feel a bit cheated now. 'Suppose I could scour local supermarkets at the weekend for under-weight packets of Tayto and write a second letter telling them how furious I am that this has happened again despite Mr.Tayto promising it wouldn't happen again.

That ought to be worth a box or two of crisps. Is Watchdog still on tv? I'm sure they'd love it...."man left 4 grams short of specified crisps weight".

The important thing is that the ability to squeeze the bottle to send the lid flying like so many a childhood make-shift missile launcher is retained, right?

simu

Oh people, you're doing it all wrong. I pour drops of Yop into the cap and sip it out of that. Tastes exquisite and lasts for ages.

I hope this is still possible with the new cap design. :eek:
