Yoplait puts out a line of French-style yogurt, called "Oui." (Whether, it's truly French-style, or not, is anybody's guess. But I like it.)
It's sold in 5 ounce (141 gram), glass jars that have a graceful shape, and just beg to be saved for storage of anything from food items ... spices/bacon grease, etc. ... to hardware, like screws/nails. Anything.
The tops of the jars are heavy foil, that you pull off, and discard. They're not reusable, which means that there were no secure lids for them, if what was stored required a solid cover. I texted Yoplait, when I first discovered "Oui," and they couldn't help me. I've scoured hardware stores, and kitchen stores, looking for plastic lids that would fit. Nada.
Holding out hope, I've saved many jars. And, today, I learned that Yoplait has begun online selling plastic lids to fit the jars. (Profit motive?? You be the judge.
) I would venture a guess so, given that they're sold in packets of 4, for $3.99. But, I sent for some.
Now, I just hope that I can find enough things to store in them.
Hey, I told you that it was obscure.
