How Big Do Those Cups Need To Be?

The cup at Mangoberry is human-sized

Great moment at Tutti Frutti in Fulton: A woman chastises her three boys for ignoring her instruction to get the smallest cups, only to round the corner and realize that the giant bowls in their hands are the smallest available.

How big do yogurt cups need to be?

The by-the-ounce yogurt trend has been great fun for me. I like the sour and fruity yogurts, and I love topping off with mochi and the little round balls that burst when you bite them. (Occasionally, I need to ignore the fact that those balls look like a 1970s fishing bait that was some a troublingly-similar type of fish egg that you slid on the hook.)

But the bowls are ridiculous. They run from huge to huger to hugest. I have eaten a perfectly fine dessert that barely covered the bottom on a bowl.

Mangoberry in Clarksville has a plastic cup. It's still a big cup, but you can layer nicely. Yogurt - toppings - yogurt - toppings - yogurt. That's a cool innovation -- although the Rita's folks would say that they have been layering Italian ice and custard forever.
