New June Flavors & Chuck Spoons Arrive at Menchie’s Inspired by The Angry Birds Movie





Fro-yo girl here. The last of the new Angry Birds Menchie’s spoon designs was released today. The new spoon features a yellow bird named Chuck. The limited edition spoons are available while supplies last.

I was finally able to try the two new flavors inspired by the Angry Birds Movie for the month of June: Fresh lime mint sorbet and Strawberry Greek.

Strawberry Greek froyo is Matilda’s favorite. It’s a nonfat frozen yogurt made with real strawberries. It seemed thicker than their other flavors. The texture was nicely dense and creamy. The frozen yogurt is sweet and it tastes like strawberries plus you can taste the yogurt flavor. However, I found that the aftertaste was slightly bitter.

Recommended toppings: Strawberries, cheesecake, condensed milk, graham cracker crumbs

Fresh lime mint sorbet is the Piggies’ favorite. Though I’m usually not a fan of sorbets, I do like lime and mint, especially together. The Fresh lime mint sorbet tastes mostly like lime and I like lime – but where’s the mint?

Recommended toppings: Condensed milk, graham cracker crumbs, mochi

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

New Angry Bird Spoons: Matilda



Fro-yo girl here. It’s a happy day when a new limited edition froyo spoon is scheduled to be released. Some shops will sometimes have new flavors and new spoons out before the scheduled date. I found the Matilda Angry Birds spoons at Menchie’s Alhambra (9 E Main St., Alhambra, CA 91801) a few days before the scheduled release. 

Matilda’s spoon is white. The back of the character is the mirror of the front. She’s a white bird and one of the original Angry Birds.

With Matilda’s release, there’s only one Angry Birds Menchie spoon design left: Chuck (June 12).

The limited edition spoons are available while supplies last.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

New Angry Bird Spoons Arrive at Menchie’s: Bomb


Fro-yo girl here. Oh happy day, froyo spoon collectors: the newest Angry Birds froyo spoons have arrived at Menchie’s. The Bomb design is a black bird. When you turn the spoon over you’ll see the mirror image of the front of the Bomb character. The feather on top of his head is supposed to look like a bomb fuse. He’s known for his temper and apparently he hates when his froyo melts. I agree with him there. Melted froyo is horrible.

Bomb is the third Menchie’s Angry Birds spoon design. The limited edition spoons are available while supplies last.

There are two more spoon designs:

Matilda (release date: June 5 which is also National Frozen Yogurt Day)

Chuck (release date: June 12)

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

New Angry Bird Spoons Arrive at Menchie’s: Pig



Fro-yo girl here. I’m not familiar with Angry Birds but I am a froyo spoon collector and it’s an exciting day when a new batch of limited edition frozen yogurt spoons is released. The latest Angry Birds spoon design features Pig. He looks like a pig but I guess he’s a bird without a beak? Oh wait, he isn’t a bird. He’s the enemy of the birds who tries to steal and eat their eggs.

Judging from the size of the spoon, Pig is a successful egg stealer. He’s one big (wide) spoon. The back of the spoon looks like the mirror image of the character on the front. His favorite froyo is Rich ‘n’Nutty Pistachio.

Menchie’s will release five limited edition spoon designs featuring different characters from the Angry Birds Movie. There will be a new spoon released every week. Here’s the schedule:
  • Red (May 15)
  • Pig (May 22)
  • Bomb (May 29)
  • Matilda (June 5)
  • Chuck (June 12)
That’s three more spoons to collect. I found the other Angry Birds cup design. Menchie's will release two new Angry Birds inspired flavors in June: Strawberry Greek and Fresh Lime Sorbet.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

The Angry Birds Movie Spoons Arrive at Menchie’s





Fro-yo girl here. Froyo spoon collectors, make room in your drawer for a new batch of collectible, limited time only froyo spoons from Menchie’s. Menchie’s will release five limited edition spoon designs featuring different characters from the Angry Birds Movie. There will be a new spoon released every week. Here’s the schedule:

  • Red (May 15)
  • Pig (May 22)
  • Bomb (May 29)
  • Matilda (June 5)
  • Chuck (June 12)

For the promotion they also have four new flavors: Strawberry Smoothie Sorbet and Freshly Squeezed Orange Sorbet in May and Fresh Lime Sorbet and Strawberry Greek in June. Top them with Angry Birds fruit snacks. I picked up one Angry Birds cup design and still need the other one.

Is it just me or does the Red spoon look funny because when you turn it over, you don’t see the back of Red? I'm not used to seeing a face on both sides of the spoon.

Some of the flavors are designated as the favorite of certain Angry Birds. Matilda’s favorite is Strawberry Smoothie Sorbet, Red’s favorite is Freshly Squeezed Orange Sorbet, Bomb’s favorite is Vanilla Snow and Chuck’s favorite is Pure Chocolate.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

New Flavors Arrive at Menchie’s Inspired by The Angry Birds Movie




Fro-yo girl here. Happy National Orange Juice Day 2016! It also seems like the perfect day to talk about the new Menchie’s flavor that I just tried, Freshly Squeezed Orange Sorbet. It’s part of the new Angry Birds Movie promotion at Menchie’s.

Finding the two newest flavors, Strawberry Smoothie Sorbet and Freshly Squeezed Orange Sorbet, in my area hasn’t been easy. Several locations are waiting for other flavors to run out before offering the new flavors. And the Menchie’s app doesn’t have a flavor finder nor do those locations regularly update their Facebook page. Sigh.

The Freshly Squeezed Orange Sorbet tastes like orange juice concentrate – the orange flavor is quite intense. Yogurt would mellow out the flavor (everything’s better with yogurt).


Recommended toppings: Whipped topping, strawberries, white chocolate chips

I haven’t seen the two new Angry Birds cup designs yet but I did get some Angry Birds stickers. The Menchie’s that I visited had Angry Birds gummy toppings. The employee had a Red (the bird) t-shirt on.

Two new flavors will be introduced during the promotion, fresh lime sorbet and strawberry greek during June. Birds seem to prefer sorbet.

The new spoons should start arriving on May 15th with five Angry Birds represented.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
