Menchie’s October Promotion & World Smile Day

Fro-yo girl here. Happy World Smile Day! World Smile Day was created by Harvey Ball, the commercial artist who created the smiley face, and it’s been celebrated since 1999. His idea was that each of us should devote one day a year to smiles and kind acts.

Menchie’s celebrated World Smile Day today with a special buy one, get one free offer from 4 PM – 7 PM. It was a chance to grab a friend or loved one and share some quality bonding time over froyo. I swung by Menchie’s and didn’t see the fun activities and prizes that the sign mentioned, but you probably had to ask and they were probably for kids.

It was also a good time to check out October’s feature flavors, Harvest Pumpkin (a fall favorite) and the new Cookies ‘n Cream Cheesecake made with Oreo cookie pieces and real cream cheese.

I enjoyed the spices and real pumpkin flavor of Harvest Pumpkin. I recommend pairing it with graham cracker crumbs, almonds, Heath Bar pieces, and Cool Whip, of course.

The Cookies ‘n Cream Cheesecake that I tried was on the icy side and dark brown (unappealing color). It tasted mostly like Oreos to me with a hint of cream cheese. The combination didn’t appeal to me even though I love Oreos, but I should try it again at a location where the yogurt is creamier. 

I picked up the scary spoons too. They’re identical to the Chip and Mookie Halloween spoons they had last year.

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

Menchie’s Spooky Spoons Have Arrived

Fro-yo girl here. Remember how Menchie’s had color changing magic spoons featuring Menchie in different costumes last Halloween? Well they’re continuing that tradition this year with more collectible Halloween froyo spoons. There are two designs: an orange spoon featuring Mookie with a cute ghost that says Booooo! and a dark purple one with Chip and spiders that says Trick or Trick. The Moochie spoon is larger. The spoons are available while supplies last, so get yours soon.

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

World Smile Day Party at Menchie’s

Fro-yo girl here. Did you know there was a World Smile Day? World Smile Day is celebrated on the first Friday of October (today). World Smile Day was created by Harvey Ball, the commercial artist who created the smiley face, and it’s been celebrated since 1999. His idea was that each of us should devote one day a year to smiles and kind acts.

And what does this have to do with frozen yogurt? Well, Menchie’s, is celebrating the idea behind World Smile Day this year with the Month of Smiles celebration. On World Smile Day, October 7, 2016, Menchie’s locations (including international locations) held a World Smile Day Party from 4-7 PM. During the party, guests enjoyed buy one, get one free froyo, along with fun activities and prizes. Unfortunately, Hurricane Matthew led to the cancellation of the World Smile Day Party at some Menchie’s locations in the Southeast.

I picked up my buy one, get one free froyo and saw the poster for Menchie’s spooky spoons. The spooky spoons weren’t available yet but I did get one of the Smile It Forward cards. The card encourages you to spread smiles. Guests who share their stories about how they spread smiles on social media using #spreadingsmiles have a chance to win prizes like free frozen yogurt for a year and Menchie’s gift cards.

Froyo makes me smile. Thanks, Menchie’s!

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