Like most people who first saw the new Oui by Yoplait yogurt, the first thing I thought was "I need that glass jar... I don't know what for yet, but I need it!" I didn't even know how the yogurt even tasted. I thought that I could use the jar to store my custom spice mixes, small amounts of crafting material I can't let go, or meta-ly my own homemade yogurt.
Sidebar: Oui is creamy, so good texture, but I've gotten so used to plain yogurt, it was too sweet for me.
Of course, they're not as useful without lids, or at least in many of the ways I was envisioning as I bought my 3-for-$4-I-make-my-own-yogurt-this-is-slightly-ridiculous-to-be-buying jars. After much Googling, I found a lot of reviews of the yogurt itself and how the jars are cute, but not a lot of direct info on liddage. Wading through some comments; however led to some better results. The jars are very similar to the small German Weck canning jars, including the ever important opening measurement. They are not a perfect match, so some of the lids, especially the ones that use the sealing ring with traditional clamps might not fit. So I wanted a tight fit that either sealed by "going into" the jar, or a silicone cap that fit over top of the jar which could be stretched
Some Amazon searching later led me to Blossom canning jar caps for small jars. (NOT AN AFFILIATE LINK!) I figured I'd give them a try and see, most importantly, if they'd leak. So far, I've got to report, these caps are champs. They fit tight, and I've even put liquid in the jar and it hasn't leaked. I'm pretty satisfied with the lids so far. Now, to go forth and eat more yogurt!

ReplyDeleteGlad it could help!
DeleteThank you!!! Same wavelength over here! Haha!
ReplyDeleteThe jars are just too adorable to pass up! :)
DeleteThe perfect lid: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0169G5U3U/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They snap on like they were made to the purpose.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors too.
ReplyDeleteThank you!! I was thinking those weck lids might work but i think this is a better option.
ReplyDeleteOMG! Thank you! I knew there had to be someone out there who had already figured this out! Haha! Great minds think alike! So glad the yogurt’s yummy!
ReplyDeleteSo, where can you get these lids?
ReplyDeleteAmazon is out of stock and does not know when they will restock. So I just ordered 12 of Wreck's small (60mm) lids from Wreck Jars https://www.weck.com.au/ for $25.40 with normal air shipping. (The 5 lid order worked out to almost $5 a lid. The 12 lid order works out to a little over $2.)
ReplyDeleteIn case anyone is curious, Oui makes lids for this yogurt! I have no idea how long they've been doing this, but I just found it today! https://oui.2020brands.com/
ReplyDeleteGuess if you wait long enough, something becomes cheaper. Probably make them for ten cents China importers online or Alibaba.
ReplyDeleteok . what about the lids ? can i purchase them ? also they should come with lids . that foil is a bitch to get open and off the top of the jars
ReplyDeleteThe moment that Oui yogurt appeared on grocery shelves, I wrote to the company and suggested they make lids, since I knew folks all over the world would be repurposing these awesome little jars. They wrote back thanking me for my suggestion and saying what a great idea it was. Then months later, the Oui lids became available, four for $3.99, not including shipping which almost doubles the cost of the lids. One would think that the company would write me back to offer me a royalty on my idea, but no! (kidding of course)
ReplyDeleteSize 32 corks work well, too, but aren't leakproof unless you use wax to seal them or ribbon to hold the cork in tightly.
ReplyDeleteNow you can find them on eBay, seller tmtowie
