I've never understood how Sweet Frog or gas stations for that matter can legally charge 9 tenths of a penny.They charge that because it's better than saying 40 cents per ounce. We charge a flat 39 cents per AND we are the only ones, that I know, remove the weight of the cup from the final amount. We also will give you your yogurt for free if you hit 11.0 exactly
We are evaluating price right now also. We will not go up, but could go down in the near future once we gauge our true bottom line expenses.
The 9/10 thing is ridiculous. I can't believe they do that.
Good luck with the biz proto, I'll check it out this week when I head up there!

I am sure it will not be as good as Bloop.The one going in the mall is the same one that is in boonsboro by mi patron. It will be froyo with coffee as well. They focus on some locally made coffee or something, the girl who works there was telling me all about it a few weeks ago. I haven't tried their coffee yet, but I love starbucks and have never found anything I liked better

Purple Haize wrote:I patronized BLOOP today ( then later had to ritualistically cleanse the yuppie from me). The old man who came in afterwards was terrible confused as to how it worked, so I showed him!Thanks for coming by Purple. We'll have shirts for you soon
I really was hoping I could get a T-Shirt that said something like ' Have you BLOOPED today". Or 'I'm a BLOOPER". Or a bunch of others. I don't have a point of reference from which to gauge so will say it was nice. But the kids n front of my spooning candy into their hands was a bit off putting. Also, black jelly beans do not work with chocolate yogurt!
