I blinked and LA turned into frozen yogurt
What the hell just happened?
I went to sleep, woke up, and there were 5 new frozen yogurt places. All of them feature two flavors.
Damn Pinkberry. What ever happened to Penguins? TCBY?
Oddly, all of these stores were run entirely by Asian Americans. It must be the 10% of Asians that are lactose tolerant because I can’t even look at creamy dairy stuff without getting diarrhea.
Usually yogurt isn’t so bad for my bowels, but I still don’t get it.
I don’t understand what is so special about this “new” yogurt, and I really don’t understand why we need more yogurt places than Starbucks on one street. At least coffee has a function: it keeps you awake. What is the point of one flavor of $4/cup frozen yogurt?
I will never understand trends. I just need to stop thinking about things.

I’m lactose intolerant but can eat yogurt all day long. The active cultures take care of most of the sugars before I enter the picture or at least help with digestion. However, my understanding is that the yogurt in frozen yogurt is either NOT lactose free or harder to digest because there are no live cultures. I cannot handle frozen yogurt either. It makes me absolutely miserable which was an unfortunate surprise the first time I had it.

All these places use the same frozen yogurt machines and look completely replaceable - Starbucks have more soul, which is a scary prospect.
They do, however, tend to have free-if-you’re-a-customer wifi and plentiful power jacks, which is a plus.
I’ve noticed that all the ‘boba’ places have now overnight turned into frozen-yogurt places.

I remember seeing something on the news when PinkBerrys first arrived and all of them were suing each other over patient infringement for flavors and how their concoctions are made. And I also thought, “It’s frozen yoghurt. How unique can it be?!?”
