So since Dannon has gone away from the plastic lids, every single time I’ve opened a yogurt, I’ve torn the foil top while tearing it off. Sometimes in half, sometimes in thirds. I end up peeling a strip down the middle and having to pull off the sides.
Rand laughed at me.
“That has never happened to me. Ever.”
Oh, and then there was this exchange:
Me: Does the yogurt ever spit at you when you open it?
Rand: Spit?
Me: Yeah. When you open it, the air forces some of the yogurt out. It happens to me at work a lot. I get yogurt on my clothes.
Rand: I wasn’t even aware that was something that could happen.
Me: *sigh*
So apparently, I’m in a battle with yogurt, and so far, I’m losing.
I am locked in a similar battle with my morning yogurt. I hate wearing raspberry yogurt all over my clothes at work!
Things like that just don’t happen to Rand. It’s like he’s Teflon-coated or something.
I also tear the yogurt but I am not so sure it squirts at me.
Yeah, I thought maybe they changed the foil or something… š
All of that happens to me, too. And it happened even when they had plastic lids, since there was still foil underneath the lid.
THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS!!!!!!!!!!! My yogurt top always tears, drives me nuts. Like this morning.
You have to kind of pull it toward the edge and into the circle, like centripital force. Otherwise, yeah you get strips.
In a moment of free association, I pondered the notion of you covered in yoghurt.
I need to go have a lie-down now…
I hate the yogurt spit. Half the time I remember to point the yogurt away from me, the other half I am wearing it.
I tend to tilt the cup a bit, so that the bit of the foil where you tear is on the upper side. Ok, so I am language challenged and have no idea how to describe this right. But – generally, then it doesn’t “spit” that much š This also works for coffee cream on a plane š
Thank you, Jenn, for introducing me to the phrase (and the image of) “yogurt spit.”

I eat Breyers and Yoplait brands, one a day, everyday. I’m not bragging but I have neither split the foil nor spilt the yogurt. I am thinking there is some technique problem with all of you. I offer a class.
