It will be eight years this weekend since frozen yogurt last hit the big time in Charlottetown:

It’s like 1998 all over again – the year Deep Impact vs. Armageddon, both asteroids-vs-Earth movies, opened the same summer – but more local and more frozen.

Both of the original adversaries in that pitched yogurt battle have long since closed, one space is a barber shop, the other an outpost of a Taiwanese grocery chain.

Miraculously, Goji’s in West Royalty continues to hang in there, ready for another froyo resurgence that, by my calculations, should arrive in 2038.
