Eureka! I've solved the mystery!

Everyone that's ever opened a plastic carton of yogurt with the foil on the top knows about the problem- its impossible to pry up the foil to get to the tasty yogurt without the first bit of yogurt going 'spurt' onto your shirt. Or tie. Or slacks. Whatever.

I've been trying really hard to stay away from the sweets so I'm eating yogurt once or twice a day instead. And until yesterday it always went 'spurt' on me no matter how careful I was. The solution- if you didn't know this already, is a ball point pen. Just pop the sharp tip of the ball point through the foil first, thereby removing the built up pressure. Now peel the foil with no worries about getting splatted and enjoy the tasty treat inside.

Just be careful about the sharp hole when you lick the inside of the foil cover!
