Just picture swirls of frozen\u00a0yogurt with all your favorite toppings. What if you could regulate the amount of yogurt and toppings that you\u00a0would want to consume? Well, you can! Did not get enough raspberries? Put some\u00a0more on! Need more hot fudge? No problem! These are some of the perks of self-serve yogurt shops.

\nOnce inside these magical frozen yogurt palaces, you can go up to the machine, push down on the handle of your favorite flavor and\u00a0purchase as much as you want. So are these frozen yogurt shops here to stay or is this a new food fad that will soon disappear?<\/p>\n
There is a bit of a downfall to these self-serve yogurt shops, though.\u00a0Let\u2019s talk about the machine handle. The handles can have millions of tiny little\u00a0germs. Everybody touches these handles and you better make sure you use hand\u00a0sanitizer before the first spoonful. Let\u2019s not forget the unsanitary problem in\u00a0 which germs could accumulate in the topping section. An adult or child could\u00a0stick his or her hands in the whole pile of gummy bears or a person could sneeze all\u00a0 over the fruit section!<\/p>\n
There are many of these new shops\u00a0popping up all over the place. There is the original Pinkberry and then Go Greenly,\u00a0 Bananaberry, Froyoworld, Peachwave, Red Mango and 16 Handles. In my opinion, the positives outweigh the negatives and these self-serve frozen yogurt shops are a hit with all ages, as they are\u00a0 healthy and delicious at the same time. Here to stay? I think\u00a0so\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
