So, decided to get a yogurt out of the fridge. The little containers that are hooked together, you know, you just snap them apart?
I grab one and try to snap it loose from the rest. Nope, damn the spurts open, out into the fridge and onto my shirt and the floor. Then I manage to step in it, almost falling and smearing it.
Get out the mop bucket. Put it on the floor in front of the sink and pull out the kitchen faucet (the kind with about a 3' hose) and turn on the water. Of course, I missed the bucket.
Finally, get the water and the yogurt cleaned up. Take the bucket outside and dumped it, right on the dog I didn't see. He looked at me "What the hell did I do?".
I apologized to him and went back to the fridge. Looked in at the yogurt.
Got a glass, two cubes and some Eagle Rare.

Modern packaging sucks. As far as yogurt goes, I often reach into the fridge with a pocket knife and cut the dohickeys apart. Doesn't always work well. Once had to get stitches.

Oh, you picked a package of the new diet yogurt. That's not a design flaw. That is exactly how it is supposed to work. A little negative reinforcement goes a long way.
Take you dog for instance. I bet he is a little more leery of you for the rest of the day. Probably will find a new place to hang out in the backyard too.
It's all about clean living. Just do the right thing, and karma will help with the rest.

Just lick it up.

I've done my share of cursing modern packaging. I buy jalapeño cream cheese at my Bristol Farms supermarket. It's excellent, but I need a vice grip pliers AND an ordinary pliers to get the plastic lid off the plastic tub. I don't know how little old ladies manage.
