I decided to give TCBY another try tonight hoping that they had some different flavors from the first time i went a few months ago. I was less than thrilled. I sampled most of their 10 flavors and ended up settling on plain vanilla just because i didn’t want to walk out of their store without buying any like the first time i went! Embarrassing! I decided to top it with raspberries and their caramelized walnuts. They were way good! I feel bad that the yogurt store didn’t stack up to all the hype for me. I’m surprised that they have so many stores. Their customers probably just haven’t tried spoon me yet:)
