To eat 'corner' yoghurts like this?

51 replies

CrohnicallyInflexible · 06/03/2015 18:42

DH, DD and I are eating yoghurts. DH has tipped all the crunchy flakes out of his corner into his yoghurt and mixed them in. He has taught DD to do the same. So DD told me to 'tip it in!'

However, I much prefer to eat mine by scooping a few crunchy bits on the spoon first, followed by yoghurt.

My reasoning is thus: crunchy bits might go soggy by the end if they are premixed. You get a fuller flavour, of crunchy bits and of yoghurt rather than crunchy-yoghurt-bits. You can vary the composition of each spoonful. And why would they have invented yoghurts with a separate pot of fruit compote if they were intended to be mixed? Surely they'd just put the compote in a layer at the bottom of the yoghurt like the Lidl Greek yoghurt ones!

To avoid any possible accusations of drip feeding, I quite possibly have Asperger's syndrome, so I would be interested to hear if this has any bearing on the method of eating yoghurt, and I couldn't be bothered to do a search to see if this exact AIBU had been asked before!

How I eat them will boggle your mind. I eat the parts separately!

TittyBojangles · 06/03/2015 18:44

I eat all the crunchy bits then the yogurt separately so in probably not the best person to comment but YANBU.

FuckItBucket · 06/03/2015 18:45

I eat few spoonfuls of flakes dipped in yogurt then get bored and tip the rest in

Showy · 06/03/2015 18:45

What a ridiculous question.

Scones, jam or cream first or how do you layer lasagne, now they're questions worth asking.

Grin

Seriously, I sometimes tip, sometimes don't. Depends on my mood.

Yanbu.

CrohnicallyInflexible · 06/03/2015 18:48

DH is shaking his head in disgust at the first 2 replies! Grin

I think YANBU, if they were supposed to be tipped in and soggy then why are they segregated at all? I keep them separate and eat a lot of the yoghurt on it's own until I get a more appropriate ratio and then combine them at the spooning stage.

PotatoLetters · 06/03/2015 18:50

Yanbu, your dh is madcrazy.

Lydiand · 06/03/2015 18:51

Yogurt first, crunchy bits last.

fairgame · 06/03/2015 18:52

YABU your DH is doing it the proper way Grin

Passmethecrisps · 06/03/2015 18:52

I eat most of the yogurt first then tip in the crunchy bits ensuring that the crunchy bit to yogurt ratio is high.

londonrach · 06/03/2015 18:52

Yuk. Yabu to eat them full stop!!!!!! Grin

CrohnicallyInflexible · 06/03/2015 18:53

I am always right love DH??

My two both have autism.

One won't eat those corner yoghurts at all because he doesn't like the mix of textures. Nor will he eat yoghurt with bits in,chunks in, stuff on the top, stuff on the bottom or in any flavour other than strawberry.

The other tips them in, mixes them up and eats in about 2 seconds flat.

kaymondo · 06/03/2015 18:54

The pot is designed to flip and tip! Your DH is clearly correct.

CrohnicallyInflexible · 06/03/2015 18:55

That was meant to be a kiss smiley- he's never been on MN before and couldn't work the smileys!

If I'm eating a fruit corner, I put a wee bit of fruit on the spoon, then a big dollop of yoghurt, in such a way that some of the fruit streaks through the plain yoghurt still in the pot.
Then when there's no fruit left the yoghurt's nice and fruit streaked (like raspberry ripple) and it's delish.

YANBU at all OP Smile

LittleBearPad · 06/03/2015 18:56

I only eat the fruit ones but mixing them is wrong!

I spoon a little fruit into the top of the yoghurt then take a scoop so that I have yoghurt topped with fruit, like the picture on the lid. I may be a bit sad Smile

TheFogsGettingThicker · 06/03/2015 18:58

YANBU. Eat them exactly as you like. That's the beauty of them.

Each to their own

MumToFourCats · 06/03/2015 18:58

Spoon of yoghurt then a bit of the crunch/fruit on the tip of the spoon.

CrohnicallyInflexible · 06/03/2015 18:59

I have to go out soon- any further replies before 10pm or so are highly likely to be DH trying to discredit me!

Yoghurt first, topping last. Always separate

PurpleSwift · 06/03/2015 19:04

I totally agree with you! :D

thegrowlygus · 06/03/2015 19:07

Depends on whether fruity or crunchy. I totally agree - you can't risk the crunchy bits going soggy. Whereas I like to use the hinge for the fruit. Grin

Showy · 06/03/2015 19:11

I don't think the if they're meant to be mixed why keep them in separate compartments argument is valid. Plenty of things you buy are kept separate until the point at which the consumer is meant to combine them.
