[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait, yogurt can stay out without being refrigerated?[/quote]

For quite awhile. In ancient times that was  the idea, making it into yogurt (basically a preferred culture instead of something yucky) keeps other bacteria at bay. It also keeps longer in the fridge than other foods with similar moisture--you wouldn't be able to hang on to a container of mashed potatoes for 3 months but a container of yogurt can do just fine.

My son gives me his expired yogurt because he's OCD. I tell him it's fine, it was already intentionally rotten and it's still the same kind of rotten.[/quote]
I love this post! Years ago, one of my coworkers expressed absolute horror when I was about to toss a yogurt from the back of the work fridge that had been expired for 9 months.  She told me when she worked in the Peace Corps, they routinely distributed yogurts that had expiration dates past a year.  She dared me to eat it.  It was absolutely fine, and tasted the same as fresh. I no longer worry about the dates.
