There’s just something about college students and frozen yogurt. Aside from being healthy and delicious, it also has a very distinct trend factor–kind of like footless leggings, except yogurt looks way better on you.

It’s also cheap. At least, it is at Ryno’s–and only for today. In celebration of being the newest yogurt place to hit Telegraph Avenue, Ryno’s is selling its $1 “Italian” yogurt all day ($1.50 if you like toppings).

So what makes Ryno’s different from Berkeley’s other yogurt offerings? According to mjt31 on Chowhound:

I actually work there, we just opened. Basically there’s a technicality where to call it “frozen yogurt” it must be made in a factory and then shipped to the store. We make our frozen yogurt in the store from actual yogurt (rather than powder) and this yogurt is from Italy because it is the only kind that has the right flavor. It’s not really an Italian tradition or anything, we just needed to call it something.

The Daily Cal also reported in May that Ryno’s offers “nonfat yogurt with fruit and is considering offering organic options, yogurt smoothies and breakfast items.” Sadly, we Cloggers are busy bees and won’t be able to pass by anytime soon–so we urge you to indulge in the cheapness until they close at 10 p.m.

For those in need of a job, Ryno’s is still hiring on the CalJobs website. The Job ID is 717835. The job description: “taking orders/serving frozen yogurt, smoothies, cashier and customer service”–and reppin’ your company on Chowhound.
