Just in time for Halloween 16 Handles has just unveiled a new Squid Ink Black Matcha frozen yogurt flavor.
Inspired by the hit TV show 'Squid Game,' the new Squid Ink Black Matcha frozen yogurt is an unexpectedly sweet treat with a very spooky exterior. As the brand explains, "With the Squid Game franchise becoming such a phenomenon, and so much excitement around the new season and experience, we couldn’t help but have some fun. The traditional matcha flavor in our new jet-black color is as iconic as the show."
The jet-black frozen yogurt will officially launch on October 16th and fans will immediately discover that taking a bite will turn your tongue black, just like the frozen treat itself. To encourage this, 16 Handles is actually running a contest where customers can show off their black tongue pics on social media for a chance to win a $250 Visa Gift Card.
