History of National Frozen Yogurt Day
Yogurt is a treat that has been around for much longer than most people would guess. It is well over 4000 years old, in fact! Yogurt found its start in the Middle East and India where it was (and continues to be!) used extensively in just about every kind of meal imaginable.
But it wasn’t until the 1900’s that yogurt found its way to the western world and the Americas, and increased in popularity so quickly and thoroughly that it’s no longer thought of as exotic. By the 1970s, when ice cream was hitting all-time popularity, some bright spark knew they could do better–and then they did. They froze the yogurt in a treat that was similar to ice cream but also uniquely different.
Frozen Yogurt sales exploded after TCBY launched its first store in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1981, and by 1986 Frozen Yogurt sales had reached $25 million dollars annually. By 1990, it was 10% of the frozen dessert market, and no one could argue that Frozen Yogurt (affectionately known as “Fro-Yo”) was in the world to stay.
