Must be a plastic saving exercise.
I very much support this but feel that I cannot now rip the newly opened inner film off and lick it with gay abandon, knowing that the main lid will help keep it covered within the fridge.
Some still have them, some don't.
Should we be denied an unhindered lick?

Lick it anyway; then its yours and no-one else's!!!
Have you ever lacerated your tongue on the old tin foil lids ? I did as a youngster Murchies pineapple yogurt
You can buy silicone lids, go to amazon and buy some, been using them for ages for cans, yoghurts and other stuff.
Buy one with a lid and re-use it on other brands. Buying a lid just to throw it away is pretty wasteful.
No more wasteful than the foodstuff going off cos there's no proper lid on it! Bloody ridiculous situation I say.
See also potato salad, coleslaw etc.
The solution is to only buy foodstuffs that will never run the risk of needing lids to be put back on
As advised by Vicky Wood: "they didn't have any yoghurts so I got you a meat and potato pie"
Assumed this was a thread about inappropriate safety equipment choices whilst riding downhill near Guildford. I suppose a full face interferes with loading up on artisan sausage rolls at Peaslake Village Stores.
All those pots share a common lid diameter so I just steal one from a brand that still supplies them and put them on the cheap skate version I’m buying.
Reusable silicon lids is a good shout though.

Hadn't thought of that. I usually get rid of the film lid thing as it doesn't really do much to protect the contents and could create a false sense of lid security resulting in one of my kids shaking it and covering the kitchen in yoghurt. Double layer clingfilm with a rubber band makes quite a good substitute but also ends up in the bin so not good for the planet.

Put it back in the fridge? What kind of weirdo are you - I’ve yet to find a pot of yogurt too big to feasibly be considered more than a single serving.

Yes, but those aren’t the only two possible outcomes, are they.
Make the small, inconsequential changes like these and they really add up.
Reflect for a minute on how many million kids aren’t being manufactured, transported, thrown away - hence transported again.
And yes, bigger changes are needed. Do those too! But make these small easy changes while that’s underway.
I've tried putting a reusable kid on my yogurt pot but their legs stop the fridge door from closing.
I just fold a bit of tin foil over it.

You are literally killing dolphins.
Waitrose have stopped using them on their cottage cheese so I've stopped buying from there. It's made me both angry and vengeful.
Pringles are "once you pop you can't stop" so it seems mad they put a resealable top on them.

Well, their not much use for anything else.
Our yoghurts have tin lids on glass jars that I take back and get money for.

Me too! I assumed a tragic incident at Leith Hill involving a poorly constructed helmet.
one of my kids shaking it and covering the kitchen in yoghurt.
Done that, also done it with milk bottles with the lid put back on, and cocktail shakers and the aeropress. Lids on things is hard.

I think the 8 billionth concurrent kid/former kid was produced recently, but only the likes of Putin would have them transported or thrown away.
Yeo valley were offering reusable lids online recently. A bit more durable than the normal ones.
What happened to Ski yoghurt?
It just went downhill.
The advantages on a catering size yoghurt is that it has a resealable lid and, if you try to eat a whole bucket full you might get to see it all again and you may never want to see or eat yoghurt ever again.

Hold my beer
One of those big pots lasts us a day so no need for the extra lid. I lamented it's loss for about 1 minute when Tesco changed their packaging.
As for eating the load. At uni I once bought a kilo of Onken as it was on offer and ate the lot. The next day I popped to the loo at uni, after pondering why there was no splash I had a look to see what was now a kilo of digested Onken snaking it's way around the bowl. I left it for the next user to admire.
I'd say there is an acceptable limit to how much yogurt can be considered a serving (a kilo is over that limit)

came in here to say the same thing. It’s like how Pringles vine with a lid. Bless them and their naive ways. As an aside a Pringles tube makes an excellent weapon as teenaged me and my friends discovered whilst drunkenly play fighting.
How is 24 hours without a lid a problem? If you are tight/not greedy.Eat half one day and the rest the next or just all of it in one hit.
How is 24 hours without a lid a problem?
A lot can happen in 24 hours.
It could be knocked over. There could be rummaging immediately above causing unwanted additions.
There's loads of problems but I can only think of two slight ones just now.
