Yogurtland 20th Anniversary Froyo Giveaway

Fro-yo girl here. Yogurtland officially turned 20 today and to celebrate, they had a froyo giveaway, of course.

Yogurtland customers received a free 8oz prepacked cup of Birthday Cupcake Batter froyo in a 20th anniversary cup with an in-store purchase today. I heard that the each store prepared 200 prepacked cups of froyo. I also picked up some 20th anniversary and Yogurtland Hoppers sticker sheets.

Happy birthday, Yogurtland, and thank you for 20 years of yumminess!

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

December at Menchie’s

 

Fro-yo girl here. I’m back from Menchie’s Percy Jackson & the Olympians Season 2 celebration. At 3 PM today, the first 50 guests at Menchie’s across the country received 5 oz of free froyo. Thanks Disney/Hulu and Menchie’s. Season 2 of Percy Jackson & the Olympians premieres today on Disney+ and hulu.

To celebrate the premiere, Menchie’s created a new flavor, Percy Jackson’s No Sugar Added Blue Raspberry froyo. Described as “a sweet blue raspberry fruity flavor with a slight tartness,” NSA Blue Raspberry froyo is made with no artificial flavors or artificial colors. It tasted like sweet blue raspberry candy. While the texture was creamy, it was also slightly gritty. I didn’t like it. Recommended toppings: fresh berries and white chocolate chips.

I also spotted new Percy Jackson & the Olympians cups. The other side of the cup features a holiday scene with Menchie and Chip.

The other featured flavor this month is White Peppermint Bark froyo, made with Hershey’s Premier White Chips. White peppermint bark froyo was first introduced in 2016, but it might not have been made with Hershey’s back then. I liked this creamy flavor better – the white chocolate muted the peppermint, so it wasn’t overwhelming minty. The texture was creamy. Recommended toppings: I didn’t see any peppermint candies, so I recommend adding white chocolate chips, waffle chips, and roasted almonds for crunch.

Menchie’s is also offering a free $5 bonus card with a purchase of $25 or more in Menchie’s gift cards.

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

Menchie’s x Disney’s Zombies 4 Event

 

Fro-yo girl here. Thank you, Disney’s Zombies, for another free froyo event. Zombies 3 was supposed to be the final installment of the Zombies movie series, but the Zombies are back for Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires, now streaming on Disney+.

The first 50 guests at Menchie’s locations at 3 PM on July 10 received five ounces of free froyo. Menchie’s in Burbank handled the crowd in an organized fashion, handing out slips of paper to the first 50 guests. I also spotted Zombies 4 posters, cups, and a flavor, No Sugar Added Chocolate.

In Zombies 4, Zed, a zombie, and Addison, a human cheerleader, become camp counselors to two rival factions, Daywalkers and Vampires.

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

Menchie’s New Mystery Swirls Flavors, Contest, & Free Froyo

 

Fro-yo girl here. It’s a busy month at Menchie’s. Let’s start with the new Mystery Swirls, both of which are sorbets. Menchie’s usually introduces new sorbet flavors during July.

There are two mystery flavors, Razzle Dazzle sorbet and Snazzy Jazzy sorbet. Based on the names alone, I would have guessed that Razzle Dazzle would be a raspberry flavor and Snazzy Jazz would be an apple flavor. But looking at the color, my guess would be the other way around.

Razzle Dazzle sorbet: It definitely tasted like green apple sorbet and had a nice tang.

Snazzy Jazzy sorbet: The flavor wasn’t as distinctive, but I’m guessing that it’s watermelon. If you told me it was a berry flavor, I wouldn’t be totally surprised.

Razzle Dazzle sorbet tasted better. Both sorbets are made without artificial colors or artificial flavors, are gluten-free, and contain no high fructose corn syrup.

The new Mystery Swirls contest gives Menchie’s guests a chance to win free gift cards and free Menchie’s merch. To enter, visit Menchie’s in July and take a picture with Menchie’s Mystery Swirls photo frame. Post the picture on Instagram with the tag #MenchiesMysterySwirls.

Save the date for free froyo and the premiere of the Disney Channel’s Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires. To get your free froyo, visit Menchie’s on Thursday, July 10th. The first 50 guests at 3pm will get their five ounces free.

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

Menchie’s Disney Wizards Beyond Waverly Place Free Froyo Event

 

Fro-yo girl here. Disney Wizards Beyond Waverly Place is now streaming on the Disney Channel and will be available tomorrow on Disney+. Thanks to the new movie, Menchie’s had a free froyo event on October 29 at 3 PM. The first 29 guests in line received a free trick-or-treat bag and 5 ounces of free froyo.

I went to the Menchie’s in Burbank because they’ve been very organized during previous free froyo events (other locations are not so organized). This was a smart move because they were organized again, handing out 29 slips of paper to the first 29 guests.

The trick-or-treat bag was a plastic bag with an image from Wizards Beyond Waverly Place on one side and a cup of Menchie’s froyo on the other side.

I’m having a hard time finding the new Falling for Froyo Chip spoons, but I’ll keep looking. I’m going to finish the Smile Challenge app game tomorrow.

Golden Spoon Grand Opening in Tustin

Fro-yo girl here. I attended my first froyo shop grand opening of 2024 today, April 7, at Golden Spoon in Tustin, California. Golden Spoon was founded in Tustin in 1983 by Jeff Barnes, so it’s nice to see it return to its place of origin.

For the grand opening, guests were treated to free minis (up to two flavors, with toppings) from 12 PM – 1 PM. Choose from ten froyo flavors a day. There was one non-dairy and one no sugar added option offered today. I also spotted milkshake machines, though I didn’t see shakes on the menu today. The number of toppings offered was typical for a froyo shop. There were a few warm sauces offered.

Prices: Mini ($4.75)/ Regular ($5.75)/ Large ($6.75)/ Quart ($15.50)

The mini was a generous size and the yogurt texture was smooth and thick. The shop had a soft opening last week. It looked new and clean inside.

Fro-yo girl here. Thank you, Candy Cane Lane, for sponsoring Menchie’s froyo giveaway on Friday, December 8. The first 50 guests at participating Menchie’s received 5 oz of free froyo.

Candy Cane Lane is a new holiday movie starring Eddie Murphy and Tracee Ellis Ross that’s now streaming on Prime Video. Eddie Murphy plays Chris, a man on a mission to win the neighborhood’s annual Christmas decorating contest.

Menchie’s December Featured Flavors and Promotions

Fro-yo girl here. Happy December! It’s a busy, festive month at Menchie’s. I think there are new red Menchie’s holiday cups but I didn’t see any during my visit this week.

The new froyo flavor, Peanut Butter ‘n’ Chocolate Fudge is made with Reese’s peanut butter. Peanut Butter ‘n’ Chocolate Fudge froyo is nonfat and contains no artificial colors, no artificial flavors, and no high fructose corn syrup. Who doesn’t love the combination of chocolate and peanut butter? Anyway, I enjoyed the flavor, which reminded me of Menchie’s Reese’s® Peanut Butter Cup froyo. The peanut butter flavor is much stronger than the chocolate fudge flavor, so that’s a plus for pb lovers. And it was creamy and smooth. Recommended toppings: Nutter Buter, Special Dark chocolate chips, and Butterfinger.

Menchie’s Holiday Eggnog froyo flavor returns this month but it’s called Holiday Elfnog, in honor of the new holiday movie, Candy Cane Lane. Holiday Elfnog is gluten-free, lowfat, and made without any artificial colors, artificial flavors, or high fructose corn syrup. It wasn’t there on my last visit to Menchie’s.

On December 8, Candy Cane Lane is sponsoring a free froyo giveaway at Menchie’s. On December 8, the first 50 people at 3 PM will receive 5 oz of free froyo. Candy Cane Lane is a new holiday movie starring Eddie Murphy and Tracee Ellis Ross that’s now streaming on Prime Video. Eddie Murphy plays Chris, a man on a mission to win the neighborhood’s annual Christmas decorating contest.

Grand Opening Celebration at Yogurtland East Pasadena on October 14

Fro-yo girl here. Froyo shop grand opening celebrations have been rare these days, so I was excited to attend Yogurtland East Pasadena’s grand opening on October 14. During the grand opening, froyo and toppings will be $0.30/oz. The special price will be available all day on October 7. DJ Vicious Lee was also there from 11 AM – 2 PM.

Customers received a giant green Yogurtland spoon and a coupon for 3 oz of free froyo at Yogurtland East Pasadena.

Froyo flavors included Pumpkin Pie and the new Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie froyo. I didn’t see the new topping, mini stroopwafels, though.

Pinkberry My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 Promotion

Fro-yo girl here. September 7 was My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 Day in New York City and Los Angeles. In NYC, various restaurants and businesses offered Greek-inspired treats, products, and gift cards. Five NYC Pinkberry locations gave away My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 froyo special: mini original froyo with granola, honey, and blueberries.

In Los Angeles, six Pinkberry locations participated in the My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 froyo giveaway and The Great Greek in Sherman Oaks served a free MBFGW lunch special. The participating Pinkberry locations were: Torrance, Long Beach, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Marina Del Rey, and Burbank.

Pinkberry Burbank had My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 signs and they gave out 250 mini cups of original tart froyo with granola, blueberries, and honey. The taste did make me think of Greece.

The movie is in theaters on September 8 (today). Tickets are available at www.MyBigFatGreekWedding3Tickets.com

I wonder if Pinkberry shows up in the movie?

FYI, Pinkberrygreek was launched nationwide ten years ago. It was a non-frozen refrigerated yogurt that they served in Powerbowls and used to make smoothies.

Free Froyo at Menchie’s AGT Event

Fro-yo girl here. NBC’s America’s Got Talent sponsored a free froyo event at Menchie’s today. The first 50 guests at Menchie’s at 3 PM received their first 5 oz of froyo free. I arrived at 3:02 PM and was told that the event started early, so the first 50 people had already gotten their froyo. Pretty lame, Menchie’s Eagle Rock.

FYI, there’s still time to enter the NBC America’s Got Talent sweepstakes. The prize is an all-expense trip to Los Angeles to attend a live taping of AGT. To enter, scan your Menchie’s app in-store from now until August 31. AGT tapings occur at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium. I’ve seen the banners many times.

AGT is on NBC on Tuesday nights. When you order Menchie’s delivery from DoorDash on Tuesdays in August, you’ll get $3 off your order of $20 or more.

Menchie’s August: New Flavor, New Contest, DoorDash Offer, Free Froyo

 

Fro-yo girl here. Happy August! It’s a busy month at Menchie’s again, with two featured flavors, a new contest, free froyo event, and a DoorDash offer.

S’mores froyo made with Hershey’s chocolate and real graham crackers is back by popular demand. FYI, August 10 is National S’mores Day. The flavor is lowfat and made with no artificial colors, no artificial flavors, and no high fructose corn syrup.

Sweet Plum froyo is a NEW flavor. The flavor is nonfat, gluten-free, and made with no artificial colors, no artificial flavors, and no high fructose corn syrup. It was smooth and creamy, fruity (tasted like berries), sweet, and slightly tangy. But it didn’t taste like plum. The fruit flavor was muted and slightly bitter. Recommended toppings: fresh berries, Fruity Pebbles, peach rings.

Menchie’s featured flavors are available for a limited time, while supplies last.

The winner of Menchie’s new NBC America’s Got Talent sweepstakes will win an all-expense paid trip to Los Angeles to attend a live taping of AGT. To enter, scan your Menchie’s app in-store from now until August 31.

Also, when you order Menchie’s delivery from DoorDash on Tuesdays in August, you’ll get $3 off your order of $20 ore more. Enjoy Menchie’s while you watch the new episode of AGT at 8/7c on NBC.

Finally, save the date, August 29. The first 50 guests at Menchie’s at 3 PM on 8/29 will get their first 5 oz of froyo free, thanks to AGT.
