Yogurt Toss

A few weeks ago, while lying on the beach in Croatia, a group of us invented a new sport (or maybe it's better to call it a game). We were cleaning up after a bit of a picnic and we started throwing our empty yogurt containers (picture a yop bottle) into the garbage cans that were spread along the beach. Being competitive, type-A personalities we got really intense about trying to get them in and ended up playing for a couple of hours all up and down the beach.



We've now imported the game to the happy hours at Oxford's Said Business School. Friday afternoons, when the weather is good, we go out back and get a casual game of yogurt toss going. It' fun, simple and always leads to a great celebration when someone manages to get one in (it's a lot harder than it looks). Check out this celebration from the inaugural Canadian Open:

I have a feeling this sport is going to spread like wild fire. Check out www.yogurttoss.com for a list of the rules.
