Pink berry

[LoveTrains]

I am in such a deep malaise that I went to the mall and got pink berry for lunch.

This stuff is pretty tasty.

yummo, did it help?

[LoveTrains]

YES! they gave me a free taste of pumpkin but that was nasty. But I had raspberry. Thanks jennistarr1.

We don't have Pinkberry here, but we have several other yogurt places. I haven't had lunch yet - you're giving me ideas!

I dont like pinkberry bc they dont have cookie dough. I prefer tutti frutti :-) yum

[LoveTrains]

I didn't even get any toppings! Just straight up fro-yo.

Pinkberry is not yogurt. I love other frozen yogurt places. Not whatever pinkberry is, though!

Chemical shitstorm? Legally they cannot call themselves yogurt because they don't have enough bacterial cultures. I think they refer to themselves as "frozen dessert" or something.

I liked it until I realized that with the $6 it took to buy a small with toppings, I'd rather go to the grocery store and buy Haagan Daaz or Ben and Jerry's for half the price and double the frozen goodness.

That was the lawsuit back in like 2008 because they did not have enough active cultures.  Since then they have changed the recipe and are legally able to call it frozen yogurt.

On my phone so not sure if the quote will work - I bought it in a HCOL area, is it possible that they raise prices in areas like that to cover rent??

I know Starbucks has 27 different pricing structures throughout the US depending on the area and COL, so it's definitely possible.

Interesting! it is the only pinkberry within hundreds of miles in a snobby-ish area, so the supply/demand ratio is in their favor

When was the last time you went?  They drastically changed their pricing somewhat recently to be more in line with other fro yo shops.  I still try to stay away because of the ownership.

I believe it was 2013? I was put off enough from the price I never went back! even if it were $3 I still think I'd rather have grocery store ice cream!

Pinkberry is one million times better than any other yogurt place on the face of the earth! Now I want some!

$3 is pretty reasonable compared to other places IMO. This was a downtown mall in a HCOL area in a city.
