Yogurtland’s Giant Hunter Green Holiday Spoon

 




Fro-yo girl here. On December 9, Yogurtland thrilled froyo spoon collectors with the free gift with purchase, giant hunter green Yogurtland holiday spoons. To get a spoon, you had to make a $12 in-store purchase, with a maximum of 4 spoons per transaction.

The hunter green giant spoons are mostly likely the last new collectible spoons to be released in 2024. It’s also the third giant spoon Yogurtland released this year. The spoon is 12 inches long and says Yogurtland on the handle. It doesn’t say anything on the back.

I took my spoon to Descanso Gardens for a photo shoot.

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

New Froyo Spoons of 2022

 

Menchie's 15th birthday spoons

Fro-yo girl here. You know I love my froyo spoons. So, froyo spoon collectors out there, these were the new froyo spoons that were released in the US in 2022. I’ve noted the shop, spoon color, and theme.

New spoons:

  • Menchie’s, green, Spring for Froyo! Chip with a skateboard
  • Menchie’s, teal, 15th birthday, Let’s Celebrate spoon with Menchie wearing a party hat
  • Menchie’s, grey, Mellow Hooked on Books
  • sweetFrog, pink color-changing, Gabby’s Playhouse
  • Yogurtland, green, Sour Patch Kids
  • Yogurtland, giant turquoise spoon for National Spoon Day
  • Yogurtland, red, wrapped Christmas present spoon

There were seven new froyo spoon designs, the same as in 2021. One of the new spoons was a giant spoon.

I noticed Moyo in Mexico introduced a new spoon for the new Minions movie.

Check out all the fancy froyo spoons on the Pinterest board, Fancy Froyo Spoons.

History of Menchie’s Spoons

 




Fro-yo girl here. Since Yogurtland and Menchie’s are responsible for most of my froyo spoon collection, I couldn’t cover the history of Yogurtland spoons without also covering the history of Menchie’s spoons. Menchie’s first introduced their Menchie’s green and berry colored spoons in 2011. The very first limited edition Menchie’s spoon was the brown Chip spoon back in 2012.

Menchie’s has yet to introduce a giant froyo spoon but they’ve had many spoon designs over the years: 76 designs, even more than Yogurtland. Back in 2013, they had color changing spoons for all 8 Sweet Friends and each design was available in 5 colors. They’ve had spoons for movies, Halloween, Christmas, etc. 

And here's the list of Menchie's spoons, with the year of introduction.

Limited Edition Menchie's Spoons


  • Chip, 2012
  • Merry Mixing, 2013
  • Mookie Sweet Moosic, 2013
  • Sweet Friends Color Changing (40 designs), 2013
  • Kiwi Mix It Up, 2014
  • Pan, 2015
  • Alvin & The Chipmunks, 2015
  • Color Changing Halloween (3 designs), 2015
  • Ice Age (2 designs), 2016

New Menchie’s Cake My Day! Spoons


Fro-yo girl here. It’s been awhile since Menchie’s released new collectible froyo spoons. The last new ones were the Best Friends spoons for summer 2020. The new summer 2021 spoons are light purple. The spoon features Menchie holding a cake on the handle. There’s an image of a cake slice where the bowl is. On the handle it says Cake My Day! The back of the spoon shows the back of Menchie and the back of the cake. Very cute!

Menchie is reminding you that froyo cakes are a delicious way to celebrate graduations and Father's Day. And any day...

These collectible spoons are available for a limited time only, while supplies last.

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

New Best Friend Spoons at Menchie’s




Fro-yo girl here. Two new collectible Best Friend spoons are coming to or already at your local Menchie’s. The Best Friend spoons feature Menchie (magenta spoon) and his best friend, Chip (green spoon) – Menchie’s colors. The spoons look like two pieces of a puzzle and they fit together. Menchie’s spoon says Together and Chip’s spoon says Forever. On the back, the spoons have a rainbow, the Chip spoon says Best and the Menchie’s spoon says Friends. Very cute!

Also, Menchie’s has a froyo spoon photo contest. To enter to win a $100 Menchie’s gift card for you and your best friend, pick up a Menchie or Chip spoon, take a picture with the spoon, post the picture to Instagram, tell Menchie’s why you chose that spoon in the caption, and tag your best friend, @mymenchies, #BestFriendSpoon. The official Menchie’s account hasn’t mentioned the spoon photo contest yet, but many Menchie’s locations have mentioned the contest.

The spoons are available for a limited time only, while supplies last. Wish there was a mini version made into a pair of necklaces, one for you and one for your bff.

The last new Menchie’s spoon, the yellow Sprinkle spoon, was supposed to be handed out during the March 21 Hello Sunshine froyo party. But then the coronavirus hit and many Menchie’s locations were closed on March 21. The Hello Sunshine Spring Party was postponed (no new date has been announced) but I did get the yellow Sprinkle spoon.

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

Menchie’s New Spring Froyo Spoon



Fro-yo girl here. With Menchie’s Hello Sunshine Spring Party postponed until who knows when, I wasn’t sure what the status would be for the new spring spoons that they had planned to hand out at the party. But, I’ve been seeing the new yellow Sprinkle spoons on social media. I found some at Menchie’s Valley Village, CA, the first Menchie’s location.

The Spring Sprinkle spoon features Sprinkle holding a watering can on the front. The front of the spoon says “let it grow” and is adorned with flowers and the sun. On the back, you can see the back of Sprinkle and a pot with a flower growing out of it. The color is a cheerful yellow. Very cute!

The spoon is collectible and available for a limited time only. It’s the first new Menchie’s spoon of the year.

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

New Menchie’s Spoon: Surfing Chip and the Spoon Contest


Fro-yo girl here. Menchie’s has introduced the first NEW collectible froyo spoon of 2019, the blue Chip surfing spoon. The spoon says Splash into Summer on the front. On the back, you can see the back of Chip and it says Chip.

And there’s a Menchie’s spoon photo contest! There are four $100 Menchie’s gift cards up for grabs. One winner will be selected by Menchie’s each week in June. To enter, (1) take a picture of the new Chip froyo spoon in your Menchie’s mix, (2) post your pic on Instagram and tag @MyMenchies and #MenchiesSpoon #froyo from a public IG account.

While I was at Menchie’s, I also spotted new stickers. They feature Chip with a suitcase, hat, sunglasses, and a cup of froyo and say “Ready for Summer Vacation.”

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

Menchie’s 2018 Halloween Color Changing Spoons


Fro-yo girl here. My World Smile Day visit to Menchie’s was a bust because the location that I went to did not have any of the three October feature flavors or the color changing collectible Halloween spoons. I’ve tried all the feature flavors before, so I’m not too concerned about finding those, but I have been in a frenzy trying to collect all 4 color changing spoons before the Menchie’s shops around here run out. I keep running into blue rock star and pink wizard spoons, but not pink rock star and blue wizard spoons. Hmm.

The four spoons all feature the mascot, Menchie. The Menchie wizard spoon comes in pink and blue. The Menchie rock star spoon comes in pink and blue. If the designs look familiar to you, Menchie’s did have wizard and rock star color changing spoons in 2015. Back in 2015, the wizard spoon came in green and the rock star spoon came in pink. In other words, the pink and blue wizard spoons are NEW and the blue rock star spoon is NEW.

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

Dino Spoons from Frozen Solutions




Fro-yo girl here. I recently attended the Southwest Traders Product Show where I ate lots of froyo, including crazy flavors like Mermaid and Unicorn. The show recap will be posted on internationalfrozenyogurt.com later this week.

The purpose of this post is to share the new additions to my personal froyo spoon collection. Color changing spoons from Frozensolutions.com were all over the the SWT Product Show. I saved one imprinted with Southwest Traders as a show souvenir.

Frozen Solutions also had Dino Spoons. These extra long color changing spoons have long “necks” and the top of the handle looks like a dinosaur head. The spoon is 7.87" long with four variations:

  • White to light blue 
  • Blue to purple 
  • White to pink 
  • Pink to purple 

The eyes are a little hard to see but they are on each spoon. There are a limited supply of these spoons.

They also have color changing Easter spoons and Easter cups.

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

At 16 inches, the new spoons are even bigger than the other giant Yogurtland spoons. The trophy design makes it feel very special. The message on the back of the spoon made me smile too. Love you too, Yogurtland.

Yogurtland & Nintendo Game On New Spoon & New Flavor: Yoshi’s Honeydew & Yoshi Spoon






Fro-yo girl here. There’s a new Nintendo froyo flavor at Yogurtland stores today: Yoshi’s Honeydew. According to the flavor card, “Honeydew melons are sweet, juicy, delicious and packed with vitamin C, just like Yoshi’s creamy honeydew flavor yogurt.” Yoshi’s Honeydew froyo is non-fat, gluten free and vitamin C fortified.

* Yoshi’s Honeydew: The yogurt was very thick and creamy (and yes, it’s non-fat). It does taste like honeydew melon (and the honeydew flavor is strong, there wasn’t any natural tangy yogurt flavor) and it’s sweet but it had a bitter gum like aftertaste that might have been the guar gum. It’s also strange to experience a creamy, rich honeydew dessert. Maybe a sorbet would have been better? Multiple people told me that they really like the Yoshi's Honeydew so it could just be my sensitivity to guar gum. Recommended toppings: Popping boba, honeydew, mochi

The new green Yoshi spoons are adorable. The spoon only shows part of Yoshi.

Yoshi’s Honeydew is available while supplies last. The next new flavor is Goomba’s Iced Coffee which comes out on July 22.

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

Menchie’s Partners with Twentieth Century Fox for New Ice Age: Collision Course Promotion








Fro-yo girl here. The summertime froyo/movie partnerships continue with Menchie’s latest, which promotes the upcoming animated fim, Ice Age: Collision Course, opening in theaters on July 22.

The Menchie’s Ice Age: Collision Course promotion launched on July 1st. The promotion includes two new flavors, two exclusive cup designs, two limited edition spoons featuring Sid and Scrat, Ice Age stickers, Ice Age toppings, and Sid’s Alaskan Adventure Sweepstakes.

New flavors:

Ice Age Blue Blast Sorbet: Scrat’s favorite flavor is blue raspberry. The bright blue color is as fun as the flavor, which reminds me of blue raspberry ICEE only not as sweet. Recommended toppings: White chocolate chips, popping boba

White Freeze Sorbet: Sid’s favorite flavor is described as a fruity and frosty flavor. It tastes like a sweet combination of white grape and apple. It’s white. Recommended toppings: Nerds, peach rings

The Ice Age chocolate asteroids look like white, silver, ice blue and light purple chocolate pearls.

The Sid spoon is white and the Scrat spoon is ice blue. They’re detailed spoons and when you turn them over, you can see the back of each character. One cup is black and shows Scrat in outer space. One is blue and shows the movie characters with glaciers and a volcano. The stickers feature five characters from the movie.

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
