DANGEROUS Yeo Valley yogurt pots

Hello everyone. Firstly let me introduce myself. My name is Denise, and I am a grandmother of three. I have registered with the site today, to warn parents of the hidden dangers of Yeo Valley yogurt pots. I use the word hidden, as after having contacted them about a serious cut to my grandsons tongue at Xmas, they wrote back and said they was aware of the situation with the sharp pots, but still have no intention of putting a warning on the packages. They then had the audacity to send me £2 in vouchers as a way of an apology! My 3 year old grandson simply licked the pot like children do. The problem is the extremely sharp plastic that's there once the pots are separated. This is clearly a case of putting profits before the welfare of their customers. SHAME ON YOU YEO VALLEY!

One of my greatest pleasures in life is licking the lid of a Longley Farm Hazelnut Yoghurt.

Please tell me I can still do that.

It's dangerous stuff, Exit. Contains nuts and everyfink.

For a quick moment I thought there should be steps on that bridge, in case someone slipped!

At least the paramedic didn't "yeodel" up her Valley!

For those in leafy shires contemplating DMsadface, I think you have to get your pins, or endless pins (if you flash your bum) out, and pour your curves into a Boden dress.

BlueSmarties76 · 08/01/2016 17:03

TrinityForce · 08/01/2016 17:03

that's a different thread. a mocking of this I think.

VenusRising · 08/01/2016 17:07

Sleeponeday, MnS do a lovely Greek style yog.
I have to forewarn you .....
It has millions of bacteria in it though Shock Millions of them.

As if that wasn't enough, they also do them in little pots, for those crazy risk takers amongst us.....
Sporks at the ready!

You're not late. I've just found this on Pinterest.
This boy definitely had a worse trauma than a yogurt cup cut!

That photo reminds me of last Halloween. Our local soft play centre had to put away the zombie figure they had standing by the reception desk as some parents complained it was scaring their kids. Grin

The only dangerous think about Yeo Valley yogurts is how moorish they are. didn't just eat a whole big pot for lunch in pregnant hunger haze. Honest

MintyBojingles · 08/01/2016 17:27

Moreish, not moorish! Hmm

Debenhams have a new level of health and safety I noticed today. I was browsing the end of sale stuff and spotted a sign saying that they would ask for ID from anyone wanting to buy a knife who appeared to be under 30!

At 30 do you suddenly become more responsible and able to operate a carving knife without endangering yourself or threatening others?

Maybe yoghurts should not be sold to the under 30s

fastdaytears · 08/01/2016 17:41

I think it's maybe just a thing to get people to enjoy their twenties and not try to be all grown up and domesticated. Debenhams is obviously worried and wants the under 30s to buy pretty underwear and false eyelashes. After 30 though it's all knives

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 08/01/2016 17:43

under 30s will need IDs in Debenhams?

That's why mums go to Iceland! Grin

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 08/01/2016 17:46

Can you buy them if you are only 28 but have one of those mature personalities?
Or if you believe in reincarnation so really you are several hundred years old?
Or just feel that you are an old soul?

I think I should get OAP discounts everywhere on those days I feel about 92

VenusRising · 08/01/2016 17:47

Ain't that the truth fastdaytears Grin

Longley Farm cottage cheese is absolutely in a class of its own though. It has totally spoiled me for bog standard cottage cheese.

originalmavis · 08/01/2016 18:42

They've just randomly emailed me 20 yeokens. (I think we are being monitored).

PersephonePitstop · 08/01/2016 18:46

I want some Yeokens! Envy

shinynewusername · 08/01/2016 18:49

Where are my Yeokens? I wrote a haiku! Angry Envy

alltoomuchrightnow · 08/01/2016 18:51

I've just had some random Yeo tokens too!
I recently cut my tongue, quite nastily, on the foil inner lid, of I think it was Total yogurt. It bloody hurt and I won't be doing that again grubby habit for a 44 year old 'child'
