Details of the Lawsuit Against Celsius

This recent lawsuit stems from what can only be described as a form of false advertisement. Celsius had proclaimed that their beverages "contained no preservatives," however within the ingredients list, one would be able to find "citric acid" as a component in their formula.

In their defense, the Celsius brand claimed that the citric acid as an ingredient was used for "flavoring" purposes and its inclusion was not as a preservative.

Pardon Me While I Rant

I'm not going to waste too much time here but full disclosure, I am a fan of Celsius products. I think they make great stuff and as an individual, this lawsuit or any ramifications of it will not make me stop buying their products when I choose to.

Make your own determinations and decisions for yourself, but this does absolutely nothing in terms of swaying me in any way. To me it appears that this is a case of someone playing the role of "Captain Literal" and for Celsius, it's become an expensive oversight or whatever you want to call it. I'm not going to be making a claim in this suit but I am thirsty; think I'll go buy Celsius "Sparkling Orange". Yes that's my favorite flavor.

Celebrate Frozen Yogurt Month at These Upstate New York Favorites!

It is curious that National Frozen Yogurt Day and Month falls in February, isn't it? I mean the icy tentacles of winter usually hold tight this month and maybe the last thing we might desire is a cup of frozen anything. But it is, so let's highlight it. At least we can dream of warm weather coming up right around the corner!

Here is a list of some top frozen yogurt places in Upstate New York. We have tried to stick to mom-and-pop independent stands throughout the region, but some larger ones have snuck onto the list. We recognize the size and popularity of chains like TCBY, Sweet Frog, and others, and they are delicious. So we put one large franchise place on the list as a representative of all the others (Menchie's, which has 500 locations nationwide).

But the others are small, mostly seasonal (unless they are inside) and wonderful. It is amazing how long a lot of these have been around..50, 60 and 80 years!

Oh, and we also put some legendary custard places on this list too, just for fun. We all like ice cream, that is for sure. But sometimes it is only a cup of frozen yogurt or frozen custard that will hit the spot!

Enjoy!
