My wife was obsessed with it until she found out it has a lot of sugar. They're springing up like weeds in LA, there's already one within a mile of my house and another is opening in the next month.

Pinkberry is awesome, but it's a fad that will die down soon enough. There are wannabe Pinkberry places popping up all over.

Tips:
- Do not get green tea flavor (it's a trap for white people).

- Ask for mochi as a topping. It's sort of a hidden secret because it's not kept up front. This is crucial.

- Don't get typical frozen yogurt toppings (chocolate, cookies + cream, etc). Go with fruit and cereal. Kiwi + Fruity Pebbles is awesome.

the quality of the fruit is what sets pinkberry apart. their fruit is excellent, other than that, prob not worth the price

I had some for lunch yesterday: 8 oz. green tea with blueberries and raspberries has become my standard. Though I think I need to figure out a new standard because I am pretty sure 3 toppings are somehow cheaper than 2 toppings.

Also, green tea is a trap for white people? WTF?

I thought it was a magical concoction containing only 25 calories per ounce?

Good thing that guy is suing them to make sure they conform to the technical specifications of frozen yogurt!

Tron, try mochi as your third topping. It is awesome. Why do you get green tea though? It's just... meh. The whole point of Pinkberry to me is the tanginess of the original flavor.

I thought i was the only person that knew about the mochi [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img].

Anyways, do get the mochi it's freaking awesome. For the first two months the line would be about ~20 minutes every night but now has kind of died down a bit. I was driving around Bev Hills/Rodeo area and I came upon 2 within 10 minute driving distance, which is kind of annoying.

There's a new place called Yogurt Land which is basically the same thing but lets you make it yourself. Girls like it but i think it's a pain in the a.

I love Pinkberry, probably too much. A lot of people I know think it's too expensive, not that good, etc etc. I would best describe it as frozen yogurt which tastes like yogurt that's frozen. For some reason, whenever I try to explain this to people, they are too dumb to understand what I mean. "Yeah, so how is that different from regular frozen yogurt?" lkasdf;lkjjlj;asd! Regular frozen yogurt tastes like a [censored] version of ice cream.
