We have been doing it for years.  It really does work.  Cottage cheese
and sour cream both keep longer upside down, well past the expiration
date.  If on occasion we forget to invert them, the lifetime does
decrease significantly.  I'm not sure why it works, but I'll bet it has
something to do with sealing the lid from air circulation.
