Dear Yogi Castle,
Kiefer and I frequent our local Yogi Castle…well…frequently. They know us there. We get free drinks. We I have a nickname. We’re regulars.
Despite our constant patronage, I’m concerned. Concerned about a frozen yogurt crisis. Concerned about my well being and sanity.
I’m concerned that Yogi Castle may go the route of some of our other “regular” places.
Borders
RIP Cocoa Trio. Not a day goes by that I don’t miss its warm chocolatey goodness. Borders went out of business despite our constant hot chocolate patronage.
Ever since, Kiefer and I haven’t been able to find a place for us to be regulars.
TGI Friday’s
Kiefer and I used love their sangria. We went there every Sunday. Then they changed their sangria recipe, and now it tastes icky.
Patrick’s
Kiefer and I used to visit a local Irish pub for the best cream of crab soup ever. And then…they changed the recipe. WHY?! Is it me? Am I not using enough deodrant? Dear God, am I the stinky kid? (::sniffing underarm::)
Yogi Castle
So far, so good. There are several flavors there that I like: cookies and cream, strawberry, cake batter, and pralines and cream. But there are also flavors I dislike: pumpkin, mint….
I noticed the Coming Soon flavor is Green Tea. Ewww….
My worst fear would be to walk into Yogi Castle and see only these flavors: Green Tea, Peppermint Stick, Coffee, Pumpkin, Mint, Coffee, Gingerbread, Eggnog, Banana, and Watermelon.
Please don’t let it come to that. I’m begging you to not end our relationship.
If I’m the stinky kid, just tell me. I’ll wear more Jelly Belly Blueberry Muffin perfume.
I’ll do anything. Seriously.
Your Best Customer,
Thoughtsy
PS: While perusing your website, I noticed two flavors that aren’t at my local Yogi Castle: Mounds Chocolate Coconut and Angel Food Cake. Please send mass quantities. Thanks in advance.
What are your favorite or most hated flavors?

I always get weirded out when I realize I’ve become a regular. I used to stop at this bagel shop 2 or 3 mornings a week, and one morning, they didn’t even ask what I wanted, they just gave it to me. Some people would think, “Neat!” I thought, “I gotta stop coming here so much.”
P.S. Most-hated flavor: Peach. Blech. People tell me I’m wrong, that peach is great, but I know better. (Spits in disgust.)
January 20th, 2012 at 10:14 am
Whenever someone learns my order, I just change it instead of going some place else. Then when they learn that order, I change it back.
I like peaches, but not peach flavored stuff. Ewww….
January 19th, 2012 at 9:02 am
Except for the green tea flavor, all of your nightmare scenario flavors sound DELICIOUS!
January 19th, 2012 at 9:35 am
I really want some of the Mounds chocolate coconut! That sounds amazing.
However, green tea does not.
January 20th, 2012 at 10:14 am
I really want to try the Mounds flavor, too!
January 19th, 2012 at 9:48 am
Hm. So far, looks like I’m alone here – I love all of your Yogi Castles other flavors (green tea, gingerbread, pumpkin, coffee, watermelon…) You can keep the creepy bannanna, though. black. (hacks up hairball leftover from giving stray cat a bath this morning). Sorry about your losses, tho.
January 19th, 2012 at 9:52 am
uh… just to clarify – black = blech
January 20th, 2012 at 10:15 am
I hate banana flavored stuff. Black-blech.
January 19th, 2012 at 10:42 am
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Yours is hilarious!
January 19th, 2012 at 11:35 am
Does anyone actually eat the banana flavored yogurt? Anything faux banana flavored is disgusting.
I do not like mushroom flavored anything, but I doubt that would ever apply to yogurt. At least I hope not. I am not a fan of coconut or pineapple flavors. The green tea one sounds vile as well. It should not be a flavor. It should just be a thing you drink for health reasons or whatnot. Blech is right.
January 20th, 2012 at 10:15 am
Mushroom flavored? Ewww…I just threw up a little.
January 19th, 2012 at 11:49 am
Max & Erma’s is my RIP place. I loved going there. They had the best tomato soup and chocolate chip cookies. Then, after years of patronage, we drove by and it was closed. No warning. No good-byes. So sad.
January 20th, 2012 at 10:16 am
I hate that! Give a warning at least! I just bought some Twinkies in case they’re the last ones ever made.
January 19th, 2012 at 12:50 pm
My favorite foods are usually found at home. There was a strawberry shortcake served in my area for a while and it was sterling! But I can make it at home. In Paris, I love onion soup with a freshly baked baguette. And a vin rouge to go with that. Heavenly!
I don’t like fast food. Ever.
January 20th, 2012 at 10:17 am
Every once in awhile I get a craving for fast food french fries. After a handful I’m usually good for the rest of the year.
Except Chick Fila. I like their food.
January 19th, 2012 at 12:53 pm
I don’t like the green tea frozen yogurt either!
January 19th, 2012 at 12:55 pm
We don’t have a Yogicastle and I never even got to taste the Cocoa Trio. If you are the stinky kid, I’m the stinky kid’s stinkier friend. Sads.
January 20th, 2012 at 10:17 am
At least we have each other.
January 19th, 2012 at 2:14 pm
I’ve never had green tea frozen yogurt, but I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t like it, based on my experiences with green tea ice cream.
My favorite long-gone ice cream flavor is Ben & Jerry’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Dough. Sigh…
I love coffee ice cream but hate coffee non-frozen yogurt. How I’d react to coffee frozen yogurt is anyone’s guess.
January 20th, 2012 at 10:18 am
I never tried that B&J’s flavor, but I bet it was good.
January 19th, 2012 at 2:43 pm
Totally off the yogurt and regulars subject:
“the stinky kid” ohhh, my!
I keep telling my 8 year old son “don’t be that stinky kid in school. Once the name is tossed out there it sticks. Take a shower NOW! Use soap and don’t forget your arm pits!”
He will argue with me and eventually I just have to yell “You stink, you HAVE to shower!”
hahhah – the stinky kid.

You’re so right: Nobody wants to be the stinky kid. And nobody wants their kid to be the stinky kid.
January 19th, 2012 at 3:12 pm
My worst fear would be to walk into Yogi Castle and see only these flavors: “Green Tea, Peppermint Stick, Coffee, Pumpkin, Mint, Coffee, Gingerbread, Eggnog, Banana, and Watermelon.”
You don’t like banana or watermelon? I LOVE those flavors!
I hate it when they change things in restaurants for the worse. That’s happened to me a few times, where I love a certain menu item and then it’s gone one day inexplicably!
January 20th, 2012 at 10:20 am
I like bananas and watermelons, but not anything that flavor because it never tastes the same.
January 19th, 2012 at 3:24 pm
At Epcot, at the Japanese restaurant, they had Green Tea ice cream, and I really liked it. And I agree with many of your nightmare flavors. Watermelon flavored stuff never tastes right to me.
January 20th, 2012 at 10:20 am
Watermelon Jolly Ranchers are quite possibly the worst watermelon candy ever.
January 19th, 2012 at 6:52 pm
Here’s to maintaining the status quo.
January 19th, 2012 at 8:06 pm
“Jelly Belly Blueberry Muffin” perfume? And you’re worried about being the stinky kid?
January 20th, 2012 at 10:21 am
I love that stuff. And the Blackberry Peach Jelly Belly perfume. I like smelling like a giant Jelly Belly.
January 19th, 2012 at 10:17 pm
I want to go to Yogi Castle. Is it just local?
January 20th, 2012 at 10:22 am
Nope. It’s a chain. I hope you can find one close to you.
If you can’t find a Yogi Castle, maybe try a Tutti Fruity. They have odd flavors though.
January 19th, 2012 at 11:54 pm
Please don’t hate me, but I love coffee and hazelnut!
January 20th, 2012 at 10:23 am
That’s ok. Just leaves more of the other flavors for me.
January 20th, 2012 at 12:02 am
green tea,,yuk…but i’ll take the banana as long is it’s a real banana flavor and not the sicky-sweet junk they make banana candy out of…
January 20th, 2012 at 10:24 am
Ewwww….
January 20th, 2012 at 4:44 am
Dear Syrup Girl,
I don’t like grape flavored stuff because they don’t taste like grapes.
January 20th, 2012 at 10:27 am
I love that you used my new nickname. I’m totally with you on grape flavored stuff.
We have such similar tastes, was a daughter stolen from you shortly after she was born?
January 20th, 2012 at 11:29 am
Well Rebecca, you’ve finally figured it out.
You see, when I was in college there was this girl. Yadda yadda, I got my degree and we don’t like artificial grape.
Love,
Dad
January 20th, 2012 at 12:28 pm
Chocolate ANYTHING is fantastic. Oh! and I like raspberry too (because it is spelled funny). I don’t like anything that is cherry flavored. Fresh cherries are great but cherry flavored stuff or cooked cherries (pie, medicine, ice cream, yogurt, candy, etc.) is just GROSS.
January 21st, 2012 at 9:05 am
Why would they change those recipes?? People like consistency! I’m so offended on your behalf.
I can’t stand cinnamon-flavored candy like Red Hots. And I don’t like citrus in food (only drinks). You can keep your key lime pie and lemon chicken, thank you very much! Put that shiz in my vodka tonics and Long Island iced teas. THAT’S where it belongs.
January 23rd, 2012 at 1:17 pm
I hate cinnamon candy. If I want cinnamon, it’ll be with something like apple pie.
January 21st, 2012 at 6:25 pm
Mounds Chocolate Coconut?? If they send that your way, let me know. I’ll make a special road trip to get some I mean meet you
. Seriously though I’d love to do both so let me know!
January 23rd, 2012 at 1:17 pm
I’m on the look out for. The next flavor is now Island Banana. Ewww….
January 23rd, 2012 at 9:30 am
Mmmmmh, chocolate. I’m down with the mint-chocolate, too, though. Sorry, Thoughts!
Chocolate and raspberries together. Yum. Dark chocolate devil’s food cake with fresh raspberries and whipped cream. Yeah, definite favorite.
I dislike… this really disgusting fish we have in Sweden that is pretty much rotten fish in a tin. I can’t even explain the smell. Pray you never catch a whiff of it. Ick. And yes, to some it’s a delicacy. I have no words to defend my fellow countrymen.
January 23rd, 2012 at 1:18 pm
Chocolate and raspberry would be good. Yum!
