Cooling down at White Hat

Frozen Yogurt is one of the newest hot things going on these days. From various stores offering their own variation of the frozen treat, and even Google naming one of their Operating Systems' version 'Froyo' in honor of this dessert, it sure looks like Frozen Yogurt has arrived and is here to stay.

One such store is located in Gateway, and I've been a regular for the past month or so. The store is called White Hat. Making the claim that Italian Frozen Yogurt is 98% Fat Free, it gives customers so many topping choices, from various chocolate candies, fruits, even cheesecake, the possibilities are endless. It is a perfect alternative to ice cream, that's for sure.

Bear Brand brings out their version of Yakult

So it surely looks like Yakult isn't the lone dog running the probiotic drink show these days. Last week, while walking around the neighborhood [and seeing that everything is closed due to the Lenten holiday], I stumbled upon what looks to me like Yakult's new competitor.

I tried it and wasn't too impressed. It doesn't have the same taste as Yakult, which may be a good thing or a bad thing depending on who you ask, but more like milk mixed with a teensy bitsy amount of Yakult. Then that's Bear Brand's Probiotic drink.

Are you... Wafu?

So, just middling around Eastwood netted me this new snack from Oishi. It sure looks like a cheese-flavored Stick-o packaged in individual sticks, per se. That's fine, although I'm not sure who would buy it one stick at a time, but hey, that's their choice. However, I'd like to ask... why name it Wafu?



As far as I know, the term "Wafu" pertains to someone who is handsome, or in general terms, is awesome. From the original tagalog word "gwapo", I encountered the term during my online gaming days, but hey, back on topic. Why name it wafu?
