Almost There!
I checked my site average today, and it was 195! It shouldn't be too long until I have to cook that promised feast for everyone.
And as a side note, I tried Yoku Yoku today. Definitely not as good as Pinkberry or Red Mango, and not worth trying again if you like your frozen yogurt to be tangy and not too sweet. Of course, everyone has different tastebuds, so I'm sure Yoku Yoku has fans. Their product is tasty, but with the explosion of what's being called "fat free Italian frozen yogurt" throughout Los Angeles, there's enough variation on a theme for me to pick and choose my favorites. So far:
-Red Mango, inside the California Roll & Sushi on Westwood
-Pinkberry (various locations, but I really hate going because the staff is idiotically incompetent)
-Lollicup, inside the Nogales 99 Ranch Market Plaza
-Yoku Yoku on Sepulveda at Palms
-Kiwiberri has gone under after a lawsuit by Pinkberry
-I still have to try Mondo Gelato on Pico and Roseberry in Glendale

PeiPei- Kiwiberri did not go under. They are in Claremont, Rowland Heights, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles. It's a very sad story how the lawsuit has stunt their growth but I guarantee they will be around to stay.

I testify to Pinkberry's staff's incompetence -- when I was there last they dropped the cup while handing it to me...

Really? Pinkberry's staff is about as competent as any other fast food joint, which is to say, they're pretty bad. But not unusually so.

No, there's some fast food staff that's at least trained to be friendly. Fake, scary, overly cheery friendly, but still better than snotty Asian teens acting like they're doing you a favor pouring you a cup of yogurt. And I would say 8 out of 10 times a fast food person is able to give me correct change without bitching about it. Like if my bill is $6.10 and I give you $11.10, it's because I want $5 back, not because I'm retarded.

i have to agree with pei, Pinkberry's staff's not just incompetence and overly snobby, they're also very raciest!!! They only serve korean customers mochi!!! when me and my freinds went asking for mochi as topping just because we have white and mexican in our group they told us there's no mochi but served the korean customer after us! we spent over $40 bucks and this is what we get?!?!

Sounds about right. I could imagine that maybe the staff didn't really speak English, didn't understand what you were asking for, and just didn't care enough to figure it out. Even someone who doesn't speak English would think to point at a few toppings and see what you were getting at, but they just don't give a !)*@ about customer service.

I haven't had a chance to try that Yoku Yoku but I'd like to. I recently enjoyed froyo in Canada at Yogen Fruz. What a treat, excellent.

I also tried Yogen Fruz in Toronto and I must say that it beats pinkberry and tasti.
