What is the point of layered yoghurts?

[ringo]

I've never had one that didn't taste better all mixed up. Does it cost less to manufacture, but somehow look exotic so a higher price can be charged? I bet transparent pots are cheaper too.

Presentation and perceived added value. Plus, some people prefer not to eat both bits in the same spoonful.

Flipping heck.

Just guessing. Similarly, there are people who eat pots of trifle layer by layer.

Layered yoghurt is a metaphor.

The purpose of layered yoghurts is to cause existential despair in those who contemplate them.

Now we're getting somewhere.

It's multi-culturism gorn mad!

What is the point of trifle?

What is the point of lasagne?

What is the point of cake with icing in the middle?

 

[ringo]

This is a perfectly respectable yoghurt thread. Don't start bringing your cake into it.

 

[Yetman]

What is the point in a full english breakfast where the entire contents are not all thrown onto the plate in a heap like my Mum used to do?

Cos it makes every mouthful taste the same, thats why. You need varying ratio's per mouthful, it's what keeps food interesting. Which is also why pasta is boring and you don't just eat a massive bowl of peas for dinner.

I love layered yoghurt. They taste better freshly mixed up. They wouldn't be so nice premixed.

What's the official line on the fruit corner, then?

Bleugh.

Fun when you're a kid but then you learn to buy fuck off big pots of plain yogurt and add spoonful's of your favourite jam etc.

 

[bi0boy]

Someone should bump a lasagne thread or even start a new one. I'm well up for correcting the lasagne-related errors of peoples' ways

There's always room for another lasagne thread.

It's like a zebra and a horse: they taste about the same; but one looks a lot prettier.

 

[Sirena]

I'd completely forgotten layered yoghurts existed.

 

[Orang Utan]

I like the crunch corner yoghurts, even though the portions are mean

I love these yoghurts.

They're not exactly layered but they have yoghurt + filling. They're delicious.

Mmm. The fudge and the lemon ones are lush. And they come in a decent sized pot.

Why do so many yoghurts come in tiny pots?

How do you explain soup then, eh?

Because that's a normal sized portion.

Look at the nutrition on that thing: 18g of sugar per 100g, and there's 150g in a pot. That's well over half the recommended daily intake of sugar.

 

[Fez909]

Wait, I got that wrong....They're 500g pots!? That's almost double your daily recommended intake...in a single yoghurt!

So? Who worries about that sort of thing?

Overweight people with diabetic people in their family

Yoghurt, the silent killer.
