I would have to say after having sampled over 20 different frozen yogurt shops, The Lite Choice is my favorite. It has a distinct taste and texture. I enjoy the fact that they use Organic flavors. It makes a big difference.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-51933909643245127972009-03-11T00:16:00.000-04:002009-03-11T00:16:00.000-04:00The original owner of Tasti-Dlite, Celeste Carless...The original owner of Tasti-Dlite, Celeste Carlessimo, still owns and operates a few locations in Manhattan. 86th Street and Lexington Avenue and a few others around town. I am a loyal customer of the brand. The flavors are great and the new decor looks fresh. Any other, new yogurt chains like "TLC" are just dying and will eventually vanish like the others. The guys that started the "The Light Choice" yogurt stores separated from Tasti-Dlite and are using a different yogurt product that is awful! Now they have stores that the public has never heard of, with yogurt that stinks. It's called "brand equity" and they don't have it. Sorry "The Light Choice" guys.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-47486534658081863262009-01-20T05:09:00.000-05:002009-01-20T05:09:00.000-05:00Your posting was very interesting as were some of ...Your posting was very interesting as were some of the comments. The Lite Choice was formulated and created by two former Tasti licensees who then converted their seven owned locations in Manhattan to The Lite Choice the week of September 12, 2008 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFCpdhC2kWY. TLC is an "all-natural", lite, low fat soft serve made from farm-fresh dairy and offers more than 28 organic flavors. In just 4 short months, The Lite Choice has grown to 19 locations throughout Manhattan, Long Island, Ct and NJ and the company is projecting that 30 locations will be serving The Lite Choice by this summer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-49472216033050293082008-10-21T16:43:00.000-04:002008-10-21T16:43:00.000-04:00I tried Tasti D-Lite only once.It was like eating ...I tried Tasti D-Lite only once.<BR/><BR/>It was like eating nothing--that is to say, there was so little flavor, I found it entirely unworthwhile (*YAWN!*).<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, I've tried Red Cherry (I've never tried Red Mango or Pinkberry).

T...Allow me to provide some additional information. The TLC stores are no longer licensed Tasti D-Lite stores. Tasti D-Lite mutually agreed with the owners of these stores to terminate the Tasti D-Lite license agreements. These stores are owned and operated by an independent third party, separate and apart from Tasti D-Lite. The Tasti D-Lite product is not and will no longer be offered at these locations. <BR/><BR/>We are excited about the future expansion plans for Tasti D-Lite in New York City; especially all of the refreshed locations and our two new flagship Centers located at 60th & Broadway and at the Empire State Building. See this page for more info: http://www.tastidlite.com/index.php/Home/New.html <BR/>In addition, Tasti D-Lite Centers are now being offered worldwide under our new and exciting business format franchise model. Rest assured, we will continue to expand throughout New York City and across the globe to bring a celebration of life and health to a community near you. <BR/><BR/>Join our Facebook "Fan" page to receive updates http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tasti-D-Lite/28494657952, or follow us on Twitter. http://twitter.com/tastidlitebj.emersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13886435670643789076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-43275859579365415002008-10-13T10:51:00.000-04:002008-10-13T10:51:00.000-04:00I remember when Carvel was a local chain and Tom C...I remember when Carvel was a local chain and Tom Carvel did the awkward commercials himself.

Jeez.<BR/><BR/>Remember the "investigative" piece the Times did in 2002?<BR/><BR/>"At two prominent chains, Tasti D-Lite and CremaLita, the soft-serve dessert has far more calories and often a higher fat content than advertised, according to tests administered for the Dining section."<BR/><BR/>http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F04E6DB1338F931A35753C1A9649C8B63&sec=health<BR/><BR/>And whatever happened to CremaLita?
