Fro-yo girl here. Yogurtland’s new Real Rewards mobile app version 2.0 has just launched. Like the old app it has a flavor finder feature, store locator and social sharing tools to share your pics on the app, Facebook or Twitter.You can register your gift card, view the balance, reload and use your phone to pay. The most exciting feature is the new loyalty program. You get one point for every ounce you purchase and you earn your way to a higher reward level. There are three reward levels:
- Green: 3 ounces free for signing up (registering), 3 ounces free on your birthday
- Raspberry: 3 ounces free for every 36 ounces purchased, 5 ounces free on your birthday
- Platinum: 4 ounces free for every 36 ounces purchased, 16 ounces free on your birthday
The ultimate goal is to reach 520 ounces which entitles you to an unlimited cup (anything that fits into the 16 ounce cup).
YL Real Rewards was launched and tested first in Colorado, Louisiana and select Nevada locations. The app is free and can be found in the Apple App store and Google Play app store.

Fro-yo girl here. I received a request to reveal my frozen yogurt spoon collection. I didn’t include all the plain Yogurtland pink and green spoons I have and I misplaced my Berry Chill spoons (I know I didn’t lose them). I'm so happy I saved my sno:la wooden spoon.

Fro-yo girl here. RIP Yogurt Circle, which first opened at Westlake Center in September 2008, has closed for good. They started out serving eight flavors of self-serve frozen yogurt a day and over the years added other offerings, including crepes, a case of Mitchell’s Ice Cream, soft serve ice cream, and beverages.
The shop has seen better days though. During my last visit, the walls were dirty and the flavor signs were crooked.
Their 4 Taylor soft serve machines are now available for sale (contact 10locations@gmail.com).

Fro-yo girl here. Every summer my good friend, Yee Gan and his teddy bear, Ted, visit the US from across the pond (i.e., England) and we go out for frozen yogurt together. This year they brought a Snog spoon. These limited edition spoons were designed by Tomas Alonso of the Royal College of Art.
Snog spoons come in one color, hot pink, and they’re made out of shiny anodized aluminum. They’re only available when you purchase a Snog special or on its own for 60 pence.
There was even a Snog spoon contest where entrants posted photos of Snog spoons from around the world in 2012. Winners received limited edition prints featuring the Snog spoon and a week’s worth of free Snogs.
Isn’t it a pretty spoon? Thank you Yee Gan and Ted!

Fro-yo girl here. Pinkberry’s autumn flavor, butter pecan which they describe as “a light and refreshing reinterpretation of a coveted ice cream flavor. It features a smooth and creamy buttery swirl with hints of maple and roasted pecans that create just the right balance of sweetness.” To accompany the new flavor, they introduced a new topping, caramelized pecans.
I had a cup of Butter Pecan Pinkberry and the texture is definitely lighter and airier than ice cream. It wasn’t as creamy as I expected but it wasn’t icy either. I liked the lighter texture.The flavor is quite buttery, much more so than nutty. The nuttiness hits you after the buttery notes. It’s a sweet flavor, not as sweet and rich as ice cream but also lacking in real yogurt (tangy) flavor.
I did like the crunchy caramelized pecans. I wish there were other new toppings to complement the butter pecan flavor.
Rumor has it that Hot Chocolate will be Pinkberry's October's new frozen yogurt flavor.

Fro-yo girl here. Taz, the last Looney Tunes character in the “Flavors with Character” promotion, inspired a new frozen yogurt flavor, Devil’s Food Cake, a new froyo spoon, a new cup and dark chocolate shavings (called Tasmanian Devil chocolate twirls). His frozen yogurt is rich and creamy and tastes like chocolate cake batter. There’s no lack of chocolate cake flavor. I really like those crunchy thin chocolate twirls.
Remember to scan the QSR code. Collect 4 codes and get 4 free ounces of fro-yo, 6 codes gets you 6 ounces of free fro-yo.
The Looney Tunes Flavors with Character promotion made my summer. I have six new frozen yogurt spoon designs and I earned my free frozen yogurt. Which Flavors of Character frozen yogurt flavor was your favorite? My favorite was Tweety's Lemon Cream Cookie and my favorite spoon was Marvin the Martian’s.

Fro-yo girl here. My local San Francisco Yogurtland did not have the new Devil’s Food Cake frozen yogurt flavor today (sad face) but they did have Taz’s dark chocolate shavings, cups and the spoooooons. Getting the spoons helped alleviate the anguish of not being able to try the new frozen yogurt flavor today.
I did check the Yogurtland mobile app to find the Devil’s Food Cake flavor. The app said that SF had the flavor...but the app was wrong (sad face).
Here’s a closer look at my Yogurtland Taz frozen yogurt spoons. They’re available at Yogurtland while supplies last. The Flavors with Character promotion ends on September 15th.
