Wrap Up Date Night At Frenzi!

Frenzi Frozen Yogurt_Wrap Up Date Night At Frenzi!

You and your sweetheart are strolling along Main Street after a romantic dinner and maybe a few glasses of wine. The moon has lit up the sky like the soft blue flame of a fading candle, and the stars are glittering like crystals buried in the smooth endless black of night. A soft breeze rolls through the trees, fluttering the leaves with the breath of fall and lifting your hair from your neck, reminding you and your paramour that the end of summer is upon you. As you steal furtive glances at each other, bathed in the golden glow of street lights, you hear laughter and music spilling from the doors of the local watering holes held ajar to entice you and your lover inside, but you have other plans…sweeter plans.

Perhaps this is a first date, or maybe a third, or possibly one in a series of date nights that you and your partner spend weeks planning for. Perhaps this is the night you fall in love, the night you look into someone else’s eyes and feel deep in the pit of your stomach that you want to wake up next to them every morning for the rest your lives. Or maybe tonight is an ephemeral scene, only to be lost in the shared dating history of so many capricious youths.

But right now, in this moment, tonight is singular. And as you and your desired stroll leisurely down Main Street, you know there is only one possible place this walk could end; sharing an ice cream cone, a frothy milkshake or a towering cup of frozen yogurt with one another.

The 3 Types Of Froyo Eaters

Frenzi Frozen Yogurt_Raspberry

Frozen yogurt has become America’s favorite frozen treat, usurping ice cream sundaes, frothy milkshakes, and popsicles alike. Children of all ages love froyo — aside from its silky soft texture, stiff icy peaks, and endless toppings, it’s full of gut strengthening, good bacteria and bone fortifying calcium.

So, now that we’ve established that pretty much everyone loves froyo, which of these froyo lover categories do you fit into?

The Tower Builder — These froyo aficionados are more interested in stacking topping after topping on a firm froyo foundation than they are with savoring the chilly treat below. These sugar scientists are brilliant conductors of amazing topping combos and should be heralded as innovators.

The Swirl Vanguard — These froyo lovers can’t walk away from the serving wall without filling their cups with at least four complementary flavors. These are the geniuses that discover blends that recall dreamsicles, PB&J, triple berry cheesecake and more. They aren’t always discovering gold, but they should be regarded as pioneers nonetheless.

The Simple Lifer — These froyo fans are true yogurt lovers. When they arrive at Frenzi Frozen Yogurt, their laser-like focus leads them to one flavor, one topping and nothing more. These are froyo fundamentalists and they have our utmost respect – their self-control is enviable.

Visit Frenzi Frozen Yogurt’s website to determine what type of froyo eater you are! No matter which category you fall into Frenzi has something for you. View our menu here to see all the possibilities.

Milkshakes 101: An Abridged History of America’s Favorite Drinkable Dessert

Frenzi Frozen Yogurt_Milkshake_Flavors

Where were you when you had your first sip of a milkshake? Were you perhaps riding in the back seat of your parent’s car, or maybe sidled up to a soda counter? How clearly do you remember the sweet chill of the stiff cream as it rolled around on your tongue? How vivid is the memory of pinching your cheeks together in an effort to pull the thick, creamy slush through the wide plastic straw?

We remember ours like it was yesterday…

The funny thing about milkshakes is that initially, they were a decidedly adult beverage. The milkshake was developed in the mid-1880s and was billed as a health tonic and contained hard liquor, usually whiskey. Less than twenty years later it would be rebranded as a dessert of the “wholesome” variety, featured at the lips of smart teenagers and knock-around kids just the same.

Before the introduction of the modern blender, milkshakes were hand-shaken mixtures of sugary milk and ice or else they were rich and runny like eggnog. With the invention of the blender, milkshakes took on their modern manner — aerated and frothy. As the blender diversified so did the milkshake, eventually becoming commercially exclusive with the very specific milkshake mixers seen behind retro countertops nationwide.

Come relive the nostalgia of your very first milkshake at Frenzi. Visit our website today to see our milkshake menu.

The Fine Art Of The Frozen Treat — 3 Sweet Artists

Frenzi Frozen Yogurt_ The Fine Art Of The Frozen Treat — 3 Sweet Artists

Ice cream, and frosty treats in general, have a certain way of informing pop culture. There’s the idealized soda counter we’ve seen in Norman Rockwell’s Saturday Evening Post covers, the quiet perfection of Wayne Thiebaud’s endless rows of milkshakes and parfaits, and the rambunctious texture, size, and composition of Claes Oldenburg’s inflatable ice cream cones and pastry cases. These family friendly depictions of decadence in art make our shared love of sweet indulgence profoundly evident; man, we really love our sweet treats.

The trend of idealizing the technicolor experience of sugary indulgence didn’t wane with the modern art movements — in fact, these young artists and their honeyed depictions of America’s favorite summer delight are keeping the trend alive and well. Expect to see more delicious fine art from them in the future:

Kendyll Hillegas — This illustrator perfectly captures tempting mounds of ice cream, the glassy gleam of popsicles and ephemeral peaks of freshly whipped cream.

Jenny Danko — Jenny Danko’s illustrations may focus primarily on pet portraits, but her “pets emerging from ice cream cones” series is more than worth a mention here.

Kelly Gilleran — Gilleran’s paintings of “ice cream women” and meticulously created frosty treat patterns are some of the most delicious depictions of icy indulgences we’ve ever seen.

Did these tempting works whet your palate for a tall milkshake, frosty cone or towering cup of froyo? Frenzi Frozen Yogurt has all the sweet inspiration you need to make a tempting work of edible art. Visit us today!

 

Cup Vs Cone – The Battle Of The Ages

Frenzi Frozen Yogurt_Cup Vs Cone - The Battle Of The Ages

Decisions, decisions, every day we’re faced with the choices that dictate our lives. Some are simple, like should you wear pants or shorts? And some are not so simple; should you move to Belize? Should you run for congress? Choices are part of life – even in our moments of indulgence. Knowing how to navigate the choices presented to you daily takes time and experience, but not every choice is difficult; some choices are actually a downright delight.

Take, for example, these two age old debates; paper cup vs sugar cone, or sugar cone vs cake cone vs waffle cone. How does a person decide? The classic sugar cone with its delicately pointed tip from which frozen cream coyly seeps around your wrist like a sticky sugar tattoo is clearly a winning choice. But also consider the hearty cake cone, and how it beckons to nibbled around its crisp frilly edges as its walls slowly soften, becoming saturated by the pleasure within. The waffle cone, grandiose, ample, and heartachingly fragrant, holds a special place in many of our hearts. The sweet smell of its batter as it progresses from pale blonde to honeyed amber arouses in so many of us an unplaceable nostalgia – it is simply one of the many smells of summer. Which is to say nothing for the sturdy, reliable cup, stacked and ready to contain all the impossible toppings you can muster.

Decisions, decisions…

The clear winner in this debate, however, is you. You can visit Frenzi Frozen Yogurt online and browse each of their winning flavors and toppings and choose at your leisure.

Heat Wave Cool Down Tips
