It’s Frozen Yogurt Day! Back in the early 2000’s, frozen yogurt had a weird boom. It was healthier than ice cream, right? Eh, not really. Regardless, fro-yo stands popped up all over the place! Chances are, you’ve got a story about eating frozen yogurt with a crush or partner, friend or family — today’s the day to let it shine!

This might have to include ice cream, since honestly I’m not sure what the difference is. And frozen custard — they’re made of different stuff, but taste so similar I couldn’t tell you which was which! So frozen creamy goodness in general counts.

Don’t have that memory lined up? Imagine one! Tweak the details so you’re both mice, or make it like Harry Potter jelly beans and the fro-yo is magical somehow. The sky’s the limit!

Try not to give in to the temptation — just get ice cream instead! 😉
