To poke fun at a fast food restaurant notorious for having out-of-order ice cream machines, 16 Handles released a limited-edition French Fry frozen yogurt flavor. This bright yellow soft serve is said to taste just like crisp fries and it includes real potato fry mix-ins to create the ultimate sweet and salty snack experience.
16 Handles fans around New York City can look out for red and yellow billboards with cheeky taglines like "Sorry, our french fry machine is down," and "I'm handlin' it."
The French Fry frozen yogurt flavor has debuted at all of the brand’s locations nationwide and will be available until mid-July. For those who prefer to stick to sweet flavors, 16 Handles offers more classic varieties like Classic Vanilla and Original Tart.
