Daily Mail: When it comes to yoghurt lids there are typically three types of people: the 'licker', the 'spooner' who scrapes the remaining yoghurt back into the pot, and the 'waster' who throws it away. But a new kind of lid will unite these groups.
Called Toyal Lotus, the technology is inspired by the water-repellent nature of a lotus leaf and uses microscopic bumps to stop liquids from sticking.
Maker Toyo Aluminium's technology won silver place in the 2013 Du Pont awards for packaging innovation and the German firm has teamed up with Japan's Morinaga Milk Industry to bring it to consumers.
Yoghurts in Morinaga's product line can be opened and the lids peeled off without any liquid left on the surface.
