 I don't know what the use is in having a container of yogurt unless it is at 
 least 125 grams for a single serving.  When you start cutting the size down 
 to 100 grams or less...who will want to buy it? 
  
 For your information, all yogurt single serving containers were 125 grams at 
 one point.  I remember they used to go on sale for $3.99 for a case of 12. 
 Then I started noticing some companies reducing the size to 100 grams, yet 
 the price stayed the same. 
  
 If it bothers you, e-mail the company and tell them you're not happy.
