Today is the perfect day for you to scream, and for me to scream, and them for us all to scream for…Frozen Yogurt? Frozen Yogurt is the delicious, creamy treat most people love. Again I have to be different and I’m not one for Yogurt and neither is Charlie but David’s loves Yogurt. What about you?
Did you know Yogurt was first invented over 4,000 years ago in the Middle East and India and then slowly made its way across the world over the Centuries? But it wasn’t until the 1970’s the brilliant idea of freezing Yogurt (and offering a ‘healthier’ alternative) created the taste sensation we love today.
Since then, though tastes have cycled from sweet to sour, and frozen Yogurt has secured a place as one of our much loved desserts . On February 6th, pull the lever at your favorite frozen Yogurt shop to celebrate National Frozen Yogurt Day.
National Frozen Yogurt Day Activities
- if you have the means and the opportunity today throw a 1980’s themed Frozen Yogurt Party, which as we know it today, first appeared on the scene in the 1980’s with the advent of the Yogurt chain TCBY.
- To celebrate frozen Yogurt invite a bunch of friends to come dressed in their favorite 80’s attire, make a playlist of your favorite 80’s hits and purchase pints of all your favorite flavors. Complete the menu by asking everyone to bring their favorite topping and let the party begin!
- Take the opportunity today to check out your local frozen Yogurt shops including frozen Yogurt chains and local Mom and Pop shops, there’s no shortage of frozen Yogurt places to try.
- Many of our Yogurt Stores will be offering specials on Feb. 6th, so celebrate frozen Yogurt’s special day by exploring your City to try all the flavors and toppings available. Not only will you get to know your City better, but you get treats all along the way. There’s nothing better than that is there?
- If you can today you should made a frozen Yogurt Cake by combining two cups of ground Graham Crackers or your favorite Cookie with a ½ cup of melted Butter and firmly press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan. \ Scoop in your favorite Yogurt flavor and top with some of your favorite toppings. Place your creation in freezer for an hour and presto, your frozen Yogurt Cake is ready to serve.
