I tried Pinkberry tonight for the first time, and I found it really disgusting, anyone else?

I find it completely overrated and overpriced.

I've read all the reports that no one knows what it is and the folks who are additicted to it.. that name is REPULSIVE!

They used to say it was yogurt, right? They recently had to remove any claim that it was yogurt. Now they just don't tell you what it is. That's frightening.

This thread is really funny when you have no idea what it is.

Touche Rav! I was like, why are they eating a Pink version of a Blackberry. Of course it tastes bad!

Heh, LittleFish, that's the first thing I thought of as well.

That's what I thought it was at first, until JG2's post.

The whole thing is STUPID. It's literally $6 for a small Green Tea Yogurt with raspberries.

I had it a few times to see what the fuss was about, and found it to be totally gross. It's comical to walk up Second Ave. and to see a line out the door on a daily basis. I don't understand WHAT people see in that place.

Is it just a NY based-thing?

I heard it's pretty bad and that people only really liked it because they thought it was low fat yogurt. Turns out it's ice cream. I do like green tea ice cream, though. Never tried that.

It does look good. I don't get the deal though. I mean, it's ice cream with fruit? Why is it different? I feel I may be missing something.

Leave itto me to think of 'Pinkberry' as some nickname for a part of a girl's anatomy.

Haha! Oh dear...

I was hoodwinked by my roommate who said it was like vanilla frozen yogurt. It was not!!! I guess I should have gotten some toppings, but I don't think it would have helped.
And the line was out the door, and all I kept thinking was, you poor people. I will never do anything again just because Paris Hilton does. I've learned my lesson.

I know it's in Texas as well, so it's not just a NY thing. Green tea 'yogurt' sounds quite disgusting though. Then Again I hate tea.

Taz-
Not yet...by Mid-Dec. prolly.

I just love that people are all gaga over PLAIN YOGURT, and sometimes over shaved ice. Like you can't do that at home for 55 cents?

I thought this was about some new, gay-friendly Blackberry.

That sounds gross. How can they not tell consumers what it is?!

[JerseyGirl2]

Posted: 6/25/07 at 8:50am

But that is the thing, it's NOT yogurt...lol. It's made with powdered regular dairy products. Again, I have never had it, but it made me giggle because Paris made it famous.

It's gross and the one on second ave recently had a rodent problem

I went there last night after the Pier Dance and loved it. Got vanilla frozen yogurt with granola, strawberries and bananas. Delicious...and the place was PACKED.
