container packaging

2 hrs confidence:

yoghurt pot (outside USA); yogurt container (USA)

Explanation:
The results of my research are that if you use the U.S. spelling "yogurt" it is best to put "container", but if you use the spelling "yoghurt" for outside the U.S. it is best to put "pot".

- "yoghurt container": 693 hits; "yogurt container": 47,300 hits
