Red Mango is trendy. It has a clean, modern interior, and a logo that any Frozen Yogurt fan would be able to recognize. Even though I'd think frozen yogurt would be too cold in the middle of winter or after dark, I still find myself waiting my turn in line in January. That's how popular it is. I guess you could say that Red Mango has become a trendy hang-out spot for teenagers and college students. Therefore, it made absolutely no sense that there would be one in San Carlos.
"Newly wed and Nearly dead," we call it. A small suburban city that's about an hour south of San Francisco, San Carlos is the place where I spent my first thirteen years. Growing up there, I never had anything unique to say about the city. But looking back now, I can't help but notice all of its funny quirks. For one, I can't go downtown without running into my old elementary school teacher or my neighbor from across the street. The Middle schoolers still loiter outside Diddam's Party store because they think it makes them cool. And if I happen to be in San Carlos at 11:00 PM, I can practically dance down the middle of the road because no cars will be coming until morning.
That's the San Carlos that I've always known, sort of like the dorky side of your best friend. So when Trendy Red Mango opened up in San Carlos' downtown(which is more like a semi-long road with side streets here and there), I was shocked. But in a good way, of course, because I love Red Mango. Some people say that they hate frozen yogurt, usually with the reasoning that it's like inferior Ice Cream or that it tastes like spoiled milk. And okay, I can understand that. I thought that the first time I had frozen yogurt too. But somehow, frozen yogurt has a taste that you can't just have once. It's not overly sweet like ice cream, but not a healthy breakfast snack like yogurt. It's a perfect, balanced, somewhere in between. So if this is all new to you, get to Red Mango or any other frozen yogurt store as soon as you can.
