Yasso and Mochi


 Yesterday was Sunday so I went to the store for 2 reasons---to buy the Sunday paper for the NYT Crossword and to replenish my supply  of Yasso Sea Salt Caramel Greek Yogurt Bars. I picked up the newspaper, and went directly to the frozen section, only to find out there were no Sea Salt Caramel Bars in the freezer. There were several other Yasso flavors, all of which I've sampled, but Sea Salt Caramel is far and away the best. I decided to wait for them to restock, but as I peered  into the open shelf, I saw another item next to where Sea Salt should have been: My Mochi Mango Ice Cream. The color looked much the same, as depicted on the package, so I took a gamble that the product might be similar.  

  Home, I sampled one of the treats, and can only say My Mochi, you are inedible. If I'd read further, the small faint lettering on the carton, which reads "Premium Ice Cream In Sweet Rice Dough," I might have left it  on the shelf. Since 1993 they've "wrapped ice cream in traditional mochi dough to create a uniquely delicious dual-texture treat."  Joyfully Chill, they say. I say, "Buyer Beware!"                                        There are 5 left in the pack if anyone wants to see for themselves.
