The good thing about TikTok “trends” is they’re usually short-lived. But this might have a chance of sticking around, for better or worse.
There’s a new trend called “stretchy yogurt.” It originally became a hit in China, and now has shops in New York City and a few other places. (One place in particular is called Mamie’s Yogurt.)
It’s a little like the customized frozen yogurt trend from the early 2000s, just with “elasticity and a gummy texture.” (???) Here’s how it works:
You choose a stretchy yogurt. It has the consistency of melted chocolate. They’re apparently a little guarded about WHAT creates this texture. The flavors include “five vegetable,” “five grain,” “mango,” and “coconut.”
You get to choose several different fruits, along with one “wet topping” and a “dry topping.” It’s usually served in a big cup with a spoon.
(Here’s video of one person ordering. And another. It’s also possible to try making it at home.)
