With the grand opening of BoYo (“Bo”ston “Yo”gurt) in May, a third Berryline location flourishing in Fenway, and South Korean frozen dessert chain Red Mango set to open its first Boston location this fall, tangy frozen yogurt competition in Beantown has seen an uptick of late. And for at least one yogurt peddler, no time of year is busier than the beginning of a new fall semester. Whitney Chicoine, who has worked at Berryline’s Fenway location since its opening in June, said she noticed that...
...anything your great-great-great grandmother wouldn't recognize as food. Imagine how baffled your ancestors would be in a modern supermarket: the epoxy-like tubes of Go-Gurt, the preternaturally fresh Twinkies, the vaguely pharmaceutical Vitamin Water.

Like Go-Gurt, this yogurt-in-a-tube thing that has become a sensation among kids. It is the fastest-selling yogurt product ever released and one of General Mills' biggest market entrants in its 72-year history. (The key: Go-Gurt's tube means no spoon is required.) The company has sold $340 million worth of Go-Gurt, according to an independent researcher, and General Mills has dethroned Dannon...
