DALLAS, Aug. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- As kids,
a lemonade stand was much more than a place to sell cold drinks to
neighbors. It was a hangout where friends celebrated intense heat,
drank up the flavor of summer cup by cup and experienced a special
kind of magic. And it's back with a twist.
Red Mango, America's 2011 #1 Zagat-rated frozen yogurt and
smoothies chain, invites the whole family to cool off in style this
summer with its new Lemonade frozen yogurt and Frozen Lemonade
Chillers now available nationwide.
Labeled as "shockingly sweet and tangy," the Lemonade frozen
yogurt and Frozen Lemonade Chillers are blended with the signature
all-natural and award-winning Red Mango nonfat yogurt. The
chiller beverages, served in 16-ounce and 20-ounce sizes, are
available in three flavors: Frozen Lemonade, Frozen Strawberry
Lemonade and Frozen Pomegranate Lemonade.
"Creating these flavors, as a frozen yogurt and as a drink, made
me feel like a kid again," said Dan Kim, founder and
chief concept officer at Red Mango. "The power of lemon is its
range for childhood excitement as well as adult sophistication.
That's exactly what I want customers to experience when they enjoy
a taste they love and remember in a new, healthful, fun and
delicious way."
And nothing says excitement like a summer blockbuster to go with
it. The frozen treats debut alongside "ParaNorman" releasing
nationwide in 3D from Focus Features on August 17th and being
promoted in Red Mango stores for the whole family to enjoy. The
movie is the new stop-motion-animated comedy thriller from LAIKA
Studios and Focus, the companies behind the hit "Coraline."
From August
6 - Sept. 17, while
supplies last, all participating Red Mango locations will give
customers $5 of Hollywood
Movie Money for every $10 spent at Red Mango. Certain
restrictions apply. See participating stores for details.
"'ParaNorman' was the perfect movie to partner with for our
Lemonade line up of frozen yogurt and chillers," Kim said. "They
both celebrate the creativity, imagination and thrills we have as
kids, which we keep with us for a lifetime. The movie and our menu
are fun entertainment at its finest."
