Nestle 8Cube: Orange Yogurt Flavor Review

 





Fro-yo girl here. I spotted Nestle’s 8Cube bite-size ice cream at 99 Ranch Market in Arcadia, the Shops at Santa Anita location They had several flavors, including strawberry, green grape & bergamot, chocolate, root beer, and orange yogurt. A 2.96 oz package contains 8 cubes and was priced at $3.49 each. These ice cream novelties are imported from China.

Orange yogurt flavor: The eight cubes come in a tray. The exterior is a thin white chocolate shell with small bits of crunchy biscuit crumbs. The interior was a creamy white/yogurt flavored ice cream. I couldn’t taste the yogurt but the orange shell was tangy and the treat wasn’t super sweet. The ice cream was pretty plain and the shell didn’t have much orange flavor either. Bottom line – it was bland but not unpleasant.

Orange Yogurt cubes are made with milk powder and whey powder but no yogurt. It contains no active cultures. One serving (two cubes) is 60 calories, 3.5g total fat, 7g total carbs. 5g total sugars, and less than 1 g of protein.

Menchie’s September Promotions: New Flavors, Double Points, New Cups for The Wild Robot





Fro-yo girl here. Menchie’s is featuring two new froyo flavors in September.

Golden Cereal froyo made with Cap’N Crunch cereal is bright yellow, like the color of Cap’N Crunch cereal. It was also very icy. I think it’s the fault of the location, Menchie’s Mission Hills. Menchie’s froyo is usually not that icy. I tried a few flavors there and they were all icy. Maybe it’s because it was over 100 degrees, but I told the employees and they said the yogurt looked fine to them. It tasted like sweet caramel syrup. Golden Cereal froyo is lowfat and made with no artificial flavors and no high fructose corn syrup. Recommended toppings: nuts, Cool Whip, strawberries.

Yumm Bubble Gum froyo did smell and look like your classic pink super sugary bubble gum. I can’t imagine eating gum let alone a cup of gum-flavored froyo. I overheard a young child call it “gross” and I have to agree. Who thought of creating this flavor? Yumm Bubble Gum froyo is nonfat, gluten-free, and made with no artificial colors, no artificial flavors, and no high fructose corn syrup. Recommended toppings: I can’t think of any because this flavor is awful.

The featured flavors are available while supplies last, for a limited time only.

I also got the new The Wild Robot cups that promote an upcoming movie called The Wild Robot. The movie will be in theaters on September 27, 2024.

Menchie’s also had a back-to-school special with double points for app members who scanned the app on September 3 & 4.

A Very Laufey Day at Yogurtland Event Recap

 





Fro-yo girl here. On September 8, Yogurtland had a one-day event for Laufey, the Grammy-winning artist and composer. The event included an exclusive flavor called Laufberry, which is described by Yogurtland as, “We've done the math — we promise you'll enjoy Laufberry, a divine strawberry-flavored frozen yogurt inspired by award-winning singer and musician, Laufey. It will be exclusively available on A Very Laufey Day, September 8, at Yogurtland.”

Yogurtland also handed out Yogurtland x Laufey sticker sheets. Each sticker sheet features 10 stickers, including three that mention Laufey. This is the only time that Yogurtland has offered collectible sticker sheets for one day only. It was also the first-ever artist collaboration for Yogurtland.

I visited Yogurtland to get the sticker sheets in the early afternoon, and they had already run out. The manager said there was a line before she opened this morning. Many Yogurtland locations had run out of the sticker sheets by then.

Yogurtland also announced a social media contest for the promotion. The prizes include Laufey-signed Laufey vinyl records and signed giant Yogurtland spoons. Follow Yogurtland on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok for more details on how to enter and win these exclusive prizes.

Yogurtland's Cinnamon Sugar Cereal Froyo is the Seasonal Exclusive Flavor & Free Delivery Offer



Fro-yo girl here. Yogurtland has been busy lately. I mentioned earlier that Real Rewards members can enjoy double points every Tuesday in September.

You can also get free delivery on your $10+ Yogurtland purchase now through 9/6. Use the code 'BACK2SCHOOL' at checkout when you order from the Yogurtland website or app (minimum $10 purchase).

ICYMI, Cinnamon Sugar Cereal froyo is back at Yogurtland and it’s the newest seasonal exclusive flavor, replacing S’mores froyo. It’s made with real cinnamon. When this flavor was first introduced in August 2023, it was called Cinnamon Churro Cereal. The flavor description hasn’t changed and Yogurtland says Cinnamon Sugar Cereal froyo is a returning flavor, so the name must have been changed.

I tried it again and it was better this time. The sample I had in August 2023 was icy, but the one I had at the Arcadia branch was thick and creamy. The cinnamon flavor is strong. The cinnamon seems stronger than the Yogurtland Churro flavor and it also seemed sweeter.

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