...Pam had so many yogurt lids stock-piled to use as medals? She doesn't strike me as a pack-rat.

Maybe they were the brand where you send in the lids and they donate money to breast cancer research!

if they're dannon, you cna send the lids in to help support breast cancer research or something. maybe she was saving them for that, but figured that the office olyimpics were just as good a cause as that. **shrug**

Maybe she just really likes yogurt...

MIXED BERRY!... yeah, I'm on to her...

Maybe her and Jim ate them all before the olympics.

I think that the real question is:
if mixed berry is her favorite flavor, why didn't she have any red lids? For bronze.

I am so sad that I thought that.

Hmm... I guess Season 3 brought us the answer. Apparently Pam is aware that yogurt lids are the secret ingredient in winning The Man of Your Dreams.

I love all the connections made to previous episodes in this show.

P.S. I'm still organizing older threads into sub-forums and every now and then a little gem like this comes up for sorting...

This was pretty cool, the way that it came full circle.

My theory: She was saving them for an undetermined art/craft project. Hey, they are shiny and could be useful later. You know, for Olympic Medals or something much more important.

Yeah, don't think Pam is much of a pack rat, so I think she had probably been saving them for a while for this event.
