Saw a big skunk in my area while on a bike ride. Wandering in circles with the Yoplait yogurt cup on it’s head. Poor thing – I called animal control to help.

the idea of the design of the Yoplait container is only to make money for yoplait. The fake bottom gives the appearance of more than it actually has. the tapered design makes it so u leave some yogurt behind so u want more which makes more money for them. many food containers are designed to only give you a sense you are getting your moneys worth–you’re not. take the large plastic applesauce containers that is sort of “beveled in”-cant scrape it all out-and all that little bit adds up for more sales for the company. Yoplait only cares about your pocket book and emptying it, they dont care about what you really want, it’s useless. Im sure Yoplait will raise that false bottom so you get only 5 ounces soon for the same price-but it will still look the same from the outside.

I’m eating a yoplait yogurt this morning and I’m happy to let you all know that Yoplait has redesigned thier cup. The new design has no lip inside that can get stuck on anything any more than a drinking glass could. Its oval shaped and easier to get the yogurt out of too!

I have written hate mail letters and emails a few times to Yoplait, they dont care. Obvious animal cruelty aside, I get so frustrated getting the yogurt out. Some say the average person doesnt get every last bit out, I say for 75 cents and supporting animal cruelty, I want every last smidgen. The container would be better upside down, at least it would be a cone shape!

Years back, my email addressing the concerns regarding wildlife were excused with a return email telling me how to dispose of my used container. I recently attended a baby shower which provided a brunch where a variety of Yoplait Yogurt was available. Not wanting to create an issue at the shower, I gathered up the used cups, washed and then sliced each one down the side and pulled the bottoms off of every container. When asked, I told the story of how Yoplait disregarded my concern to redesign, followed with disposal directtions. Wouldn’t you think that Yoplait could start a whole new campaign to promote their container with a new design, friendly to wildlife??? The commercial could state…”we heard you America & we care about God creatures just like you do.” But bottom line… Yoplait could care less or they would have addressed this issue years ago. It just makes sense. Wildlife… easier stacking for both storage & disposal. Easier to eat out of & even easier for frozen yogurt cups in the summer. I’ve heard that you can’t freeze the Yoplait yogurt as it will not release from the containers due to the stupid design. Why do they insist on continuing with it? They have everything to gain with an improved design. Their marketing department needs to have their heads stuck in a yogurt container. How can you justify promoting this faulty design? So, I do not bother with Yoplait. There are many other brands that I have used ever since their flipped response to my concern regarding wildlife. One simple little change would increase their sales to new highs. Apparently they don’t need the $$$. So I will take mine elsewhere. I hope you’ll join me by boycotting Yoplait, if you have not already. Thanks everyone.

I recently emailed Yoplait about the container design, suggesting they flip it to prevent animals from getting stuck. I got a seemingly B.S. reply about the design -aside from being “uniquely” shaped- being part of a legal agreement when they bought out the French company. I replied in turn to say I didn’t accept that explanation. Not holding my breath waiting for another response -has been a week or more since.
