Good Lord people… if you like the way it tastes, eat it. If not, don’t.

Kim,

Actually, Nature Magazine did a comprehensive test of Encyclopedia Britannica Vs. Wikipedia and they were comparable in their accuracy:

Special Report Internet encyclopaedias go head to head : : Nature

So, Wikipedia IS considered a reliable source.

Debbie,

How can Wikipedia be considered a reliable source?

According to Wikipedia, Pinkberry “does not contain the minimum amount of culture to call itself frozen yogurt, according to California state law.”

Think about this…
If we start cracking down on Pinkberry, shouldn’t we do the same for all other food outlets that “TRICK” us. Should we sue Mcdonalds because the happy meal, doesn’t really make us happy? It makes our kids fat and then we are sad. Look at the perservatives that are injected in the food we buy, even at the grocery store, those are not disclosed to us? Look at Nutrisweet..it causes cancer yet is put in lo-cal and healthy items.
My point is this, let the stupid get tricked. If you know that it is fake and not healthy, dont go there! dont support it!
If others want to go there and dont care about really asking what they are eating, then they deserved to be ripped off.
Also- all fads come to an end…

Is it really such a big deal? Personally, I did really like the product, it taste like an unsweetened and sour version of Yakult. Anyway, the point is you guys are making it seem like a big deal–similar to HEBE CO. v. SHAW , 248 U.S. 297 (1919) case… If you ask me it is just a swirl of cold, spoiled-like, sour tasting substance that does not deserve so much attention. As for their shaved ice, I prefer Taiwanese slushy, Filipino Halo-halo, and Japanese parfait. (those aren’t as healthy for you but I do admit they are delicious!)

If you read the article, you'll see that it's a technicality at heart: it being LEGALLY called "frozen yogurt" depends on where it's processed, not on what the ingredients are. Kinda stupid if you ask me but oh well.

Thanks so much for hunting down that article. I really appreciate it. The best quote from the article from the LA Times:

"For lack of a better word, it's just dessert."

Good job! Thanks again!

Sorry guys, I know it's hard to admit, but it's true. Heard rumors from numerous people and the official report from the California Dept of Food and Agriculture (not FDA) was released as noted in the LA Times. CDFA is like the FDA, just think State and Local govt. Just because something doesn't Google doesn't mean it ain't out there. Pinkberry's claim to Low Fat, Low Sugar and Low Calories is now up in the air and what is in that "powder" they use is being researched. They HAVE removed the term "Frozen Yogurt" from all literature and website. I'm glad the truth was told so I know what I was eating!

Thanks, that was well researched and I hope it helps the skeptics. If you go into Pinkberry and ask, they'll tell you that it's made with real yogurt (some research of my own!).
