In fact, I need just a few more punches in my FEC to earn a free cup. I'm always careful to hide my Yogurtopia card when visiting The Monkey and vice versa. We've hit up Swirls a couple of times, and they don't have any of the healthy fare like fresh fruit to put on top, and I too am somewhat uncomfortable with the insta-greeting. I'm planning on trying Yo Yo on my way home from work today; it opened while sac-eats and I were recently out of town. Yes, The Monkey does offer the FEC.

Swirls was OK enough. My family requires the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and Swirls sort of played coy when we asked if they carried this treat. Friendly staff (I am not a fan of the INSTANT greeting when you walk into a store, but that's probably just me...yeah, it is. I KNOW! Geeeez) Yo-Yo pretty much went with the Big Spoon model which is not a bad thing. Free yo-yo's for the little ones and a frequent eater card! Why all of these places aren't doing that is beyond me...(RunnerGirl, you'll have to let me know if the Monkey is on board with the FEC) Both Swirls and Yo-Yo Yogurt are open for business.

I don't think my Yogurt was melting, but I thought the topping selection was limited, too. We actually bought 3 cones and there was a lot of confusion about the charge. Apparently, they're charging for the weight of the cone stand, but then decided to pull a dollar off. Not a place that I would return anytime soon. I'd rather go get something from COLDSTONE!

The name of the place is "Mochii." The glutenous rice product that you can have as a topping is "mochi." I can't explain my "Mocchi" spelling of it, and I just fixed that. Please forgive me, as this truly is hard-hitting journalism. :) Sorry about that, Lucky!

Mochii, Mochi, and Mocchi. Does it really matter? No. Will it bug me to no end? Absolutely. you spelled Mochii differently 3 times. Mochii, Mochi, and Mocchi. Does it really matter?

You have vanillia, but no freaking Ermine?!?) FLAVOURED Yogurt. None of these places have genuine Indian-Sub-Continent type flavours. Tho not too bad if you bring your own pre-ground Monkey (or Ermine, or Condor, or Spotted Owl) and a mixing spoon.
