...Hall Supervisor Charlie Lambert,averages about 15 gallons per day. More than justproviding a tasty desert, fro-yo has affectedCurrier life in subtler ways. With names asstimulating as "Blissful Banana," "RadicalRaspberry" and "Just Peachy"--or "Simply Vanilla"for the mild at heart--the daily changing of theflavors adds extra flair to mealtimes...andbedtime. "It's better [than ice cream] forspreading on bodies," says one junior. "You know,milky smooth."
