Remember when SpaghettiOs rocked and Pop Tarts were hot? Recall the era when obscenely large muffins ruled, and frozen yogurt was born? Still in mourning for the way power drink juice bars have rudely replaced Dairy Queen and its Blizzards?

Emerald City Smoothie will open a new franchise in the Lakewood Towne Center April 14. Blueberries here, raspberries there; Lean Out, Guava Sunside, Berry Berry and Fruity Supreme everywhere. — Suzy Stump
