Want Want QQ Kitty Paw Gummy Yogurt Candy Review

 



Fro-yo girl here. Weee! is currently selling Want Want QQ Kitty Paw Gummy candy for $1.79 each. One pouch is 45g. The paws are yogurt-flavored gummies imported from China.

Each pouch is resealable. One serving (1 packet) is 145 calories. Each paw has two layers, a bottom white layer and a fruity top layer. The candy is squishy but very firm. The white yogurt- flavored layer is a bit spongier and sweeter. The yogurt flavor tastes like Yakult.

Available flavors: grape yogurt, orange yogurt, strawberry yogurt

  • Strawberry yogurt: similarly sweet, firm, and chewy with mild artificial strawberry flavor
  • Grape yogurt: very sweet, very firm yet chewy, hint of fake grape flavor
  • Orange yogurt: the yogurt flavor seems stronger, but that’s not a good thing. The orange flavor is very faint.

It’s candy, so I can understand why the flavors are artificial, but the flavor is too sweet with little tang, and the candy is too firm. The strawberry was my favorite flavor.

3 out of 5 stars

Revisiting Coconut Cult in 2026

 






Fro-yo girl here. I first tried and reviewed Coconut Cult in 2022. I tried the Original Coconut Yogurt and found the texture to be grainy and the fermented flavor was very strong. The ingredients were simple: coconuts and probiotics.

Recently, I noticed that Target started carrying Coconut Cult mini 4 oz cups. The packaging looked appealing. There is 200 billion CFU per cup and 16 live probiotic strains. The cups are $3.99 each.

Coconut Cult minis are made with the same live fermented coconut yogurt as the larger 8 fl oz and 16 fl oz jars. The yogurt is organic and contains no gums, fillers, or preservatives.

One thing to note is that the minis are small, smaller than your typical cup of yogurt, and each cup contains two servings. One serving is a mere 2 oz. 

Available flavors:

  • Apple cinnamon roll
  • Cookies & cream
  • Banana cream pie
  • Organic berry basket: very intense berry flavor but also intense coconut flavor, it’s super rich, super thick, and super tangy. The yogurt is made with freeze-dried raspberries and blueberries. One 2 oz serving is 160 calories, 12g total fat, 8g total carbs, 6g total sugars, and 2g protein.
  • Lemon meringue: thick, rich, super tangy, also pretty sweet, strong coconut and lemon flavors. One 2 oz serving is 100 calories, 8g total fat, 7g total carbs, 5g total sugars, and 2g protein. It's not as thick as berry basket though.

I’m glad I gave Coconut Cult another try. The yogurt is super flavorful, thick, and rich, thanks to the coconut cream and the fermentation. 

Coconut Cult froyo launched this year. You can get it at Nude Miami and Sunlife Organics in the Hamptons.

626 Night Market 2026: Asian Food Trends





Fro-yo girl here. Froyo is back but there wasn’t any at 626 Night Market this year. I did get some frozen yogurt skewers last year from MOJO, but MOJO wasn’t there this year. 626 Night Market seemed much better before the pandemic. It felt like there were more Korean vendors than ever this year and fewer Chinese vendors. Only one place offers stinky tofu now. In the good old days, you could smell a lot of stinky tofu.

For desserts, I spotted taiyaki, taiyaki ice cream, Italian ice, Hawaiian honey cones, funnel cakes, shaved ice, ice cream, ice cream sandwiches, churros, crème brulee, cinnamon rolls, mango sticky rice, cheesecake on a stick, and banana pudding.

I didn’t see any food trucks, and the vendors that I went to last year weren’t there. But there were new vendors, more seating, and misting stations. It felt less exciting and novel though. Sushi tacos and sushi pizza might have been new.

I did try the Japanese sandwich pop-up, Sandoitchi, but it was disappointing since they didn’t use milk bread, and they didn’t cut all the crusts off my $15 egg salad sando.

Free parking. Admission is $8. They used to always have the last market of the year during Labor Day weekend, but this year they only had the market in June and August. Foodieland acquired 626 Night Market last year.

The food is better at Smorgasburg, which has free parking and free admission, but it’s not open at night. I also think Wat Thai Temple in North Hollywood has better, more affordable food, but it’s mostly Thai and not open at night. It’s hard to find a regular night market, though there is a new one in Hollywood.

Menchie’s Creamy Rootbeer Float & Café Gelato

 




Fro-yo girl here. Menchie’s is featuring two new flavors this month, Creamy Roobeer Float froyo and Café Gelato with live and active cultures. 

Creamy Root Beer Float froyo was inspired by National Root Beer Float Day, celebrated annually on August 6. It blends the nostalgic flavors of root beer and creamy vanilla ice cream. It’s made with no artificial colors, no artificial flavors, and no high fructose corn syrup. I could definitely taste the root beer spices, but the flavor was mild enough to pair well with other flavors like vanilla. Recommended toppings: Hershey’s mini Kisses, Cool Whip.

The new Gourmet Café Gelato is creamy and has live and active cultures. Menchie’s describes it as, “the perfect harmony between bold, roasted coffee notes and a luxurious, sweet, creamy finish.” It wasn’t as creamy as I expected but the coffee flavor was still nice. Recommended toppings: almonds, chocolate shell.

For National Wellness Month, Menchie’s is giving away a gold Oura ring. Scan your Menchie’s app at the register for a chance to win.

Haitai Pollapo Yogurt Flavored Ice Tube Review





Fro-yo girl here. I’ve been seeing Haitai Pollapo at various Asian markets lately. Pollapo is a yogurt-flavored ice tube imported from South Korea. One bag contains five frozen dessert tubes. Each individually wrapped tube is 120 mL. H Mart is selling Pollapo for $4.99/bag.

Pollapo Yogurt: It’s supposed to be cool and refreshing. The tube was solid and very firm. To consume, you peel off the top and push the bottom up (like a push-up pop). It tastes like what you’d imagine frozen Yakult to taste like. It was super sweet and very icy. I could not finish more than one bite.

One tube is 80 calories with 0g fat, 20g total carbs, 13g total sugars, and 0g protein. The main ingredients are water and corn syrup.

I can’t think of anything positive to say about Pollapo. The yogurt flavor was introduced in November 2025.

1 out of 5 stars.

A Visit to Froyo & Fido in Simi Valley









Fro-yo girl here. It took me a few months, but I finally visited the new Froyo & Fido in Simi Valley. It’s a self-serve froyo shop that sells dog accessories, bagged candy, and canned beverages.

The shop was clean and cheerful. I like how you can find the flavors of the day on their website, as well as nutritional information. Service was better than average.

There are eight self-serve froyo flavors a day and a well-stocked toppings bar. It’s $0.79/ounce. Sample cups are available.

Froyo flavors:

  • Jolly rancher
  • Tart: rather bland, mild tartness
  • Strawberry
  • Cotton candy
  • French vanilla
  • Cake batter
  • Chocolate
  • Peanut butter cup: creamy, not too chocolatey

The yogurt is good but it’s not special. I think Yogurtland has better flavors. Froyo & Fido feels more relaxed and personal though. You can pick up a cup of froyo for your dog, a dog treat, and dog bandana here. Every other Thursday, 20% of froyo sales will go to the Community Pet Fund to help local families with vet bills.
