Offering portion control, if you have any self-control,
Nubi Yogurt, in the heart of
froyo central (southern California), offers frozen yogurt in 14 different flavors that you pull and top yourself for 38 cents an ounce.
Since Nubi offer free samples, I've pretty much tried all of their flavors. The flavors are mostly non-fat with a couple of low fat ones. The fruit flavors are expectedly sweet and tart whereas the non-fruit are just sweet (I only say this because my friend mentioned trying coffee flavor at a Pinkberry and said it was tart!). Most of the flavors tend to be more than a little on the sweet side for me and in the end, I liked and opted to go with original "plain tart," which I like to think of as "the blank canvas."
For toppings, I mostly went healthy with strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries, but splurged a bit on
mochi and cheesecake(!). I put cheesecake on at the recommendation of my friend and it goes really well with "plain tart."
Anyway, I'm far from being a yogurt
connoisseur; I tend to go for original since, at least to me, original tastes equally good anywhere you get it... But I like the choice available at
Nubi Yogurt, where you can get as much or as little of everything as you want.
If you live in the San Gabriel-ish area, chances are you can locate a 20% off coupon in your local ad flyer. Nubi Yogurt also has locations open in Redlands, CA and Apple Valley, CA. Another location is slated to open in Millbrae, CA.

To celebrate the beginning of summer and its 4th Annual Coolfest, Caribou Coffee will be giving away its new 12 oz. Fruit & Tea blended beverage on Saturday, June 21, 2008 between the hours of 3 and 4pm.
The Frutista Freeze is Taco Bell's new frozen beverage introduced just as the summer heat began (about mid May). It features real strawberries in syrup over a mixture of ice and strawberry syrup. It's a bit like a 7-Eleven Slurpee in that respect but with more syrup. The high amount of syrup makes for a sweeter strawberry taste. It's quite refreshing with how hot it has been getting around here.
Chick-fil-A's Waffle Potato Fries feature skin-on, waffle-shaped potatoes deep-fried in peanut oil.
I've noticed a lot of McDonald's ads (billboards in particular) tend to tout the quality of their ingredients such as "all white meat premium chicken" and "100% beef." And it makes me think, what did it used to be? Especially the beef... What was it if it wasn't 100% beef? Regardless, I'm not exactly expecting quality at any fast food establishment and when I think of McDonald's besides childhood memories, I think of convenience.
