Remedial Design: A Yogurt Container Drainer
Get that last drop
The cartons used to package yogurt in Scandinavia are convenient for manufacturers and retailers, but not so much for the end user. Swedish inventor Jan Åkerlind reckons 5-10% of the contents are thrown away with the packaging, as gravity keeps them in the bottom of the carton. Thus he designed this Yogurt Holder:
It has nearly the same footprint as the carton, so fits neatly in a refrigerator door. And the inverted arrangement means even those last dregs of yogurt "quickly flows into the breakfast bowl." (Note: Scandinavian-market yogurt has a more liquid-like viscosity than the American stuff you're thinking of.)
These run 39 Swedish Kronor (USD $3.81).

That looks like something that could be pressed out in cardboard and sold with the original container as a topper, maybe with a U-shaped cut out to facilitate access to the cap, but still allow the package to be placed upside down, like flat-top mustard/ketchup condiment containers. It could even be used to make the overall package more of a rectangular box to add to the ease of shipment.
