Fro-yo girl here. My dear froyo spoon collectors, I’ve created a list of all the new collectible froyo spoons that were released this year. The list is alphabetical and organized by shop.

S’mores froyo is made with Hershey’s Milk Chocolate and graham cracker crumbs. It’s lowfat and contains no artificial colors, no artificial flavors, and no high fructose corn syrup.

History of Yogurtland Spoons

 




Fro-yo girl here. I’ve written lots of posts about my Yogurtland spoon collection but never one about the entire Yogurtland spoon collection. Since I’ve been collecting Yogurtland spoons since 2008, it feels like time for a comprehensive list of Yogurtland spoons.

Yogurtland started out with generic froyo spoons in 2006. The first Yogurtland spoons that had their name on the handle came out in 2007 in pink and green. The logo has changed since the early days and they’ve had many versions of their signature pink and green spoons. Notably, during their 10th anniversary year, the spoon handles had interesting facts about Yogurtland.

There have been many limited edition Yogurtland spoons over the years. The designs were inspired by their partnerships with video games, movies, National Frozen Yogurt Day, National Spoon Day, National Ice Cream Day, Valentine’s Day, and Yogurtland’s own anniversaries (5th, 10th), new products, etc. If you had one spoon each of the limited edition designs they’ve come out with, your froyo spoon collection would include over 60 different froyo spoons.

The first Yogurtland character spoons were introduced in 2009 when Yogurtland partnered with Tokidoki. Tokidoki Loves Yogurtland featured four spoon designs with Tokidoki characters.

Regular Sized, Limited Edition Spoons


  • Tokidoki (4 designs), 2009
  • Sanrio/Hello Kitty (4 designs), 2011
  • Purple 5th anniversary spoon, 2011
  • Sanrio/Hello Kitty (4 designs), 2012
  • National Frozen Yogurt Day, teal spoon, 2012
  • Looney Tunes (6 designs), 2013
  • National Frozen Yogurt Day orange spoon, 2013
  • National Frozen Yogurt Day Color Changing spoons (2 designs), 2014
  • Ultimate Summer spoons (5 designs), 2014
  • National Frozen Yogurt Day Hershey’s spoon, 2015
  • Candy Crush (5 designs), 2015
  • Kung Fu Panda 3 (5 designs), 2016
  • Nintendo (5 designs), 2016
  • Trolls (2 designs), 2016
  • 10th Anniversary, 2016
  • Joy (2 designs), 2017
  • Hope (2 designs), 2017
  • I Love Ghirardelli, 2017
  • National Ice Cream Day, flip flop spoon, 2018
  • Waffle Cone, 2019
  • Abominable (2 designs), 2019

Giant Yogurtland Spoons


  • Green
  • Orange
  • Pink
  • Platinum
  • Purple
  • Raspberry
  • Red

“Y” Logo Spoons


  • Berry
  • Green
  • Orange
  • Pink
  • Teal

While the heyday of froyo spoons is over, I’m still hopeful that I'll continueto add to my froyo spoon collection.

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

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 Froyo Spoons of 2020


Fro-yo girl here. Froyo spoon collectors, I’ve been tracking the collectible new froyo spoons that were released this year (there weren’t that many because it’s been a tough year) and here’s the short list:
  • Yogurtland logo, berry color
  • Yogurtland giant spoon, red color
  • Menchie’s Spring Sprinkle spoon, yellow color
  • Menchie’s Best Friends spoons, Chip, green color
  • Menchie’s Best Friends spoons, Menchie, magenta color

The Spring Sprinkle spoon was supposed to be handed out during Menchie’s Hello Sunshine Spring Party. Most locations postponed or cancelled the event due to the COVID-19 outbreak though. There were seven new froyo spoons last year and just four this year. Yogurtland is still handing out giant pink and green spoons for special promotional events like National Spoon Day. 

The giant red Yogurtland spoon was a Valentine's Day promo. It was given out on Valentine's Day with a minimum $10 purchase after 5 PM.

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

Yogurtland Abominable Froyo Spoons




Fro-yo girl here. Since it’s been three years since Yogurtland came out with new character froyo spoons, I wanted to have a separate post about the new Abominable spoons. There are two designs that are supposed to be in stores on September 2, 2019.

The light blue spoon features the blue yeti named Everest. The light purple spoon features a girl named Yi. The spoons are cute but they feel thinner. The back of the spoon isn’t detailed. It’s hard to hard to make out the designs. They don’t have the biodegradable marking on the back. They’re not as nice as they used to be.

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

Rarest Froyo Spoons From My Collection


Fro-yo girl here. I recently organized my frozen yogurt spoon collection and in the process, saw some rare froyo spoons that I hadn’t seen for years. I know there are other froyo spoon admirers and collectors out there. This post is dedicated to them.

My rarest froyo spoons:

(1) Fru:yo elephant spoon

Fru:yo Factory had several locations in Hong Kong. At the shop entrance, a giant elephant holding a cup of froyo with his trunk greeted guests. The same elephant is shown on their froyo spoons. I believe all the locations have closed and that the elephant found a new home.

(2) Berry Chill color changing spoon

Long before Pinkberry and Yogurtland opened in the Windy City, Berry Chill was the place to get tart froyo. They even had a cute white bear mascot. They had color changing cups and spoons. Berry Chill gave me my first color changing spoon. The spoon features the Berry Chill logo. Berry Chill opened several locations in Chicago, filed for bankruptcy in 2010, and closed their shops.

(3) Snog spoon 


This rare spoon is my only metal froyo spoon. The limited edition Snog spoons were designed by Tomas Alonso of the Royal College of Art. Snog spoons came in one color, hot pink, and they were made out of shiny anodized aluminum. My friend from the UK gave me the spoon.

(4) Menchie’s test spoon

This orange Menchie’s spoon that features Chip was a test spoon for a run of spoons. The test spoons aren’t available in stores. It looks like a test spoon for the brown Chip spoons.

(5) 7 Eleven froyo spoon

In Norway, 7-Eleven locations have self-serve froyo and there’s even a 7-Eleven froyo truck. The 7-Eleven froyo spoons have extra long handles and they’re imprinted with the words, 7-Eleven’s Frozen Yogurt.

(6) Sno:la spoons

These are compostable wooden spoons. The larger one is from their Beverly Hills shop that closed. The smaller one is from their Tokyo shop. Everything is smaller in Japan, or bigger in America.

(7) Tutti Frutti light up spoon 

These unusual spoons have a built in light. To activate the light, you have to twist the top of the spoon sideways. These are the only light up spoons in my collection. 


(8) Yogurtland original logo spoons 

The first Yogurtland logo spoons were clear pink and green. They still had the old logo. Later, they decided to switch to compostable spoons. 

(9) Yogurtland 5th anniversary spoon

When Yogurtland turned five in 2011, they handed out the limited edition purple spoon – for one day only!

If you missed my earlier post, I am selling some of my froyo spoons. See

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.

Mystery of Yogurtland’s Generic Pink Yogurt Spoons


Fro-yo girl here. About three weeks ago, I noticed that my Yogurtland switched to generic pink yogurt spoons. These generic spoons do not say Yogurtland on them. I thought they ran out of spoons and were waiting for a new shipment…however, it’s been three weeks, they still only give out generic pink spoons. Not only that, but I went to another Yogurtland location which only had generic pink spoons. 

A quick search on Instagram revealed that most of the recent Yogurtland pictures feature generic pink spoons.

Could this be the end of the Yogurtland’s custom spoons? 


The trade war with China is driving up costs of yogurt cups and spoons, according to my packaging source.

Somehow my froyo doesn’t taste as good with a generic spoon, and it certainly doesn’t look as nice. But I do have to ask myself whether I'd rather pay more for froyo or have generic spoons. I guess generic spoons are okay if they have special spoons for campaigns. But what if the Yogurtland cups go away too? Hmm...


In a 2012 interview with Yogurtland founder, Phillip Chang, he said:

"Fifteen million spoons are used a year in our stores. So we made our spoon really substantial. All the customers notice the spoons and they keep them. … They have them in their kitchen drawers.

Chang says the fact that Yogurtland’s signature spoons are reusable makes them “green,” something that he says is important to his business fundamentals.

“I can’t accept something that is used once and thrown away,” he says. “It doesn’t go with my philosophy of frugality.”

Another bonus: “Little kids love the spoon,” Chang says, making the one in the kitchen drawer a constant reminder of Yogurtland."


Speaking of cups, I wonder why Yogurtland is still using the Joy cup design? That Joy promotion was last summer’s promotion. The Joy cups have been around for a year now. 

Thanks, Yogurtland, for reaching out to tell me that Yogurtland custom spoons will return. The Joy cup design became the standard cup design because they liked the design so much, but a new cup design will be released in 2019.

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

Fancy Froyo Spoons: Qoola




Fro-yo girl here. I’ve actually been to Qoola before, when I visited Vancouver, Canada. However, this was quite some time ago and they hadn’t introduced Qoola spoons then. I first learned about the new spoons, which feature the beaver mascot, Qoover, last April (2016), so they are relatively new. Qoover is adorable and he obviously loves hockey, since he’s wearing a hockey jersey and he’s the team captain. He’s clearly a proud Canadian. You can see his tail on the flipside and his jersey says Team Qoola 08.

They seem to come in four colors: yellow, pink, orange and green. It doesn’t look like all the locations have the spoons, based on Instagram photos.

My friend brought back a few spoons for me, from Vancouver. Thanks, S!

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

Yogurtland Ultimate Creation Event Recap





Fro-yo girl here. I couldn’t miss the first ever Ultimate Creation event, even though I find it difficult to build an unlimited cup when it’s crowded. Ideally, I would have the place to myself so I could swirl, add toppings, swirl some more, etc. But there were plenty of enticements – like the new “Made With Ghirardelli” flavors, Frozen Hot Chocolate frozen yogurt and Dark Chocolate Blueberry sorbet, new toppings, new sauces, new spoons and new cups.

During the event on November 14 from 4 PM – 9 PM local time, 16 oz cups were just $5. My creation was 32.5 oz (after the weight of the cup was deducted). I took some Ghirardelli cups and spoons home.

I tried the new Dark Chocolate Blueberry Sorbet which was “inspired by Ghirardelli’s Dark Chocolate Blueberry square…this sorbet provides delicious dark chocolate flavor from Ghirardelli cocoa, followed by notes of sweet blueberry.” It delivered on the promised flavor and wasn’t icy. It was an interesting flavor but I’m personally not a fan of the chocolate and fruit combination. Recommended toppings: blueberries, Ghirardelli chocolate chips, graham cracker crumbs.

I’m happy that they brought back Pumpkin Pie froyo! Thanks, Yogurtland!!!

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

Yogurtland’s NEW Giant Platinum Froyo Spoons




Fro-yo girl here. There’s something so satisfying about cute collectible froyo spoons. They’re practical, long-lasting, and adorable. So, I’m definitely excited about the giant Platinum collector’s spoons at Yogurtland.

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.

To get your own giant 16” Yogurtland spoon, spend $15 or more in one transaction, after any discounts have been applied. Do it soon because the offer is for a limited time only, while supplies last.

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

Menchie’s August Flavors, Emoji Movie Promotion, American Heart Association Fundraiser





Fro-yo girl here. There’s a lot going on at Menchie’s this month. First, there are two new flavors, Original Strawberry and Pina Colada Sorbet. Some locations are offering a Pina Colada float (mine wasn’t). Next, they’re promoting The Emoji Movie with a limited edition cup design and two new limited edition Emoji spoons. The spoons feature two characters from The Emoji Movie. Finally, Menchie’s is accepting donations for the American Heart Association. If you donate, you’ll get a paper sign that they’ll post on the wall and a coupon for 20% off a future purchase.

New flavors:

Pina colada sorbet: It’s made with real pineapple, real coconut cream, no artificial colors and no high fructose corn syrup. The coconut cream gives it a richer, creamier texture. The tangy pineapple flavor is dominant but then the coconut cream is the flavor that lingers. Recommended toppings: maraschino cherries, pineapple, Nilla wafers.

Original strawberry: It’s made with real strawberries, no artificial colors, no high fructose corn syrup and no artificial flavors. I didn’t taste the yogurt and it seemed very sweet, creamy and heavy even though it is nonfat. Recommended toppings: Cool Whip, strawberries, sprinkles

The new cups feature three characters from The Emoji Movie.

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

Menchie’s New Mookie Spoon


Fro-yo girl here. 2017 is finally looking up a bit for froyo spoon collectors. First, Yogurtland finally came out with new spoons inspired by two of their new JOY flavors, Watermelon Sorbet and Mud Pie. Now, Menchie’s has released a new Mookie spoon. It looks like the purple Mookie spoon from a couple of years ago, but it says something different. The original spoons said Sweet Moosic. The new spoons say Born in the Moo-S-A. The new spoons are available for a limited time only.

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

New Yogurtland Spoons: Watermelon and Mud Pie




Fro-yo girl here. Yogurtland started their new JOY Share the Fun promotion on Monday, June 5. It included two new froyo spoons, Watermelon and Mud Pie. The spoons represent two of the new JOY flavors.

These are the first new limited edition, collectible froyo spoons of 2017. This year has not been a good year for collectible froyo spoons so far; there have been more collectible froyo cup designs than collectible spoons.

The spoons are available at Yogurtland while supplies last.

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.
