Why can"t you buy plain yogurt in small containers?

When I was shopping for ingredients to make a recipe the other day, I needed to buy plain yogurt, something I don"t often buy. In the yogurt isle of the supermarket there were a wealth of options. Even in plain yogurt there was plain, vanilla (pretty close), whole-milk, low-fat, nonfat, organic, and regular. But that kind of yogurt is only sold by the bucketful.


Sure, the flavored yogurt is sold in smaller containers. If I wanted Banana Berry Rhubarb Delight instead of plain, I could have bought individual 8 oz. containers, four-packs, six-packs, whipped, blended, sugar-free, drinkable smoothies, and even freakin" yogurt-in-a-tube. But, no, I needed plain yogurt, and the smallest container they seem to sell is two pounds.


So I have two-pound-minus-a-cup of plain, whole milk yogurt and no idea what to do with it. I"ve made yogurt cheese before, and that worked fine, I just don"t have a lot of use for it. Does anyone have any suggestions?
