| - Before crossing the Arizona state line, on our way back to SoCal, we stopped by the Capitol of Happiness,.....Menchie's Frozen Yogurt.
This place is every Fro Yo Fan's Dream. There was a section of Menchie fan gear to the right, carrying dodge balls, watches, beanies, plushie dolls and T-shirts, and crayon art, colored by its young customers hanging on the walls. Such a positive energy here.
It was Monday, which at Menchie's Frozen Yogurt, also meant "YummDay", the day in which you can fill your cup with your favorite mix for only $5 + tax.
It was if I was the Nutty game piece, transported onto a colorful game board, alongside my friends - Chip, Barry, Mellow, Kiwi, P.B., Mookie, Sprinkle, and Menchie himself:/herself. The object of the game? To Mix your way to FroYo enlightenment.
Several sample cups were on a tray, permitting us to try out the different flavor choices, before we began our quest. With our cups in hand, we read about what we had to work with on the "What's in your mix" sign at the starting line. Ready, Set, Go!
This was going to be a snap. Great base flavors to work with, with an option to get creative and swirl some flavors together. Today's tasty flavor choices:
Milk Chocolate Mama
Vanilla Snow
Blueberry Pomegranate
Original Tart
Creamy Peanut Butter
Oreo Cookie
Pecan Praline Supreme
Strawberry Banana Dream
Tahitian Vanilla made with Coconut Water
Dole Pineapple Sorbet
Takes Cake Batter
Chocolate Candy Bar made with Nestlé's Crunch
Rockin' Salted Caramel (I used this as my base flavor
Peanut Butter Chocolate Bar
So many Snackages to choose from, some I've not heard offered elsewhere, such as chocolate rocks, chocolate turtles, and toasted animal crackers.
There was also a Chill station with fresh fruit bites and other tasty treats and another station with syrupy goodness, some unique, such as Reese's Hershey Shell and Marshmallow.
We lay our masterpieces one by one on the scale at the cash register.
We accomplished our objective and considered ourselves ALL WINNERS. How could you not, with everything we could imagine right at our fingertips?
We've reached FroYo divinity. Thanks for playing and Namaste!
