No doubt you'll be joining us in playing the excellent Splatoon throughout the Summer, and if you are lucky enough to live in Canada you'll even be able to cool off with Splatoon-inspired frozen yoghurt and sorbets - courtesy of a team-up with Nintendo Canada and Yogurty's and Yogen Fruz.
Starting on the 1st of June until the 8th of September, Canadian Yogurty's and Yogen Fruz stores will be offering special Splatoon flavours and toppings. How cool is that?
You'll be able to sample the delights of Splatoon-inspired froyo flavours including, the Squidsicle - a dairy-free mango popsicle sorbet - and Inkberry, a probiotic low-fat strawberry frozen yogurt. If you are feeling particularly adventurous you can even use the self-serve froyo machines and twist the 2 Splatoon flavours together to create Squid Ink, or so the press details say. You can top off your masterpiece with your choice of mango or strawberry popping bubbles.
And there's more, from the 15th of June you can even head to one of the Yogurty's locations listed below for a chance to play Splatoon while enjoying your Splatoon-ified froyo:

Well I'll be, I sure would like to taste that.
That looks good. I mean the food and Splatoon together and the inkling girl. The odd squid ink frozen yogurt combination is eye catching and weird (almost looks like caviar) but then very appealing. It looks cool in more ways than one. This would be a good promotion in the US, too.
Splatoon and Frozen yogurt? Sign me up!
Nowhere near me but they look really tasty. The southern US is moving to Fummer anyway. (The state I live in has a lot of merger of seasons...it has been pretty warm since the end of April. ) I could have used one of these last weekend when I had to patrol campus in the heat.
@aaronsullivan - "almost looks like caviar"
You probably already know this, but just an FYI those things in the game that look like Precursor orbs from Jak and Daxter are supposed to be "salmon eggs". The girl in the Nitneod Minute vid said so. I think that would make it more "roe" and less "Caviar".

I'm really impressed w/ Nintnedo's all out assault marketing for this game. They're treating it like a summer blockbuster. I've never seen anything like it from them. Seriously, all they need is a breakfast cereal and Saturday morning cartoon and it's a complete sweep. I'm assuming the McDonalds Happy Meal toys are coming soon, we still have our faux Wiimotes from way back when.
this game is shaping up to be a big hit. Though I'm skipping it since I don't like online stuff
Cool, man. The Montreal location is two blocks from where I live. I've been there before. I'll probably go for the yogurt, but I should have Splatoon by then so I won't stay to play.
BREAKING NEWS BRITONS WHO PRE-ORDERED SPLATOON WITH SQUID AMIIBO FROM GAME - I just got an email from Game saying that the truck carrying my pre-order of Splatoon with the squid amiibo from the European warehouse has been stolen. Those old Octopi - you can't keep an Inkling like me from getting the game!
I may have to travel to Canada for one of these because they look delicious. Actually, I won't really do that, but in my head it seems like a good idea.
Pretty sure these guys are I Max, or well Cineplex in my area. Maybe if I see any movies this summer I'll give one a shot, cool idea. Too bad the game play is skipping my part of the country but I think we have no dedicated stores here.
Can someone find out what's in it so we can replicate it elsewhere?
@rjejr
I think I saw it trending on Facebook, actually. Because reviews were coming out. Thought they are not all forgiving of the Nintendo online experience or the way it being rolled out.
@aaronsullivan - Humor me. How do things "trend" on FB? I know # trends things on Twitter but I don't know how it works on FB.
Too bad over here we just have boring regular froyo
@rjejr There is a sidebar showing news stories that are being shared the most on Facebook (desktop web page). Splatoon popped up there for me, but it seems to have dropped off now. But that means it was in the top ten at least. It may have actually hit top 3. Because I noticed it off to the side before expanding the section on the web page.
Any USA love here? I'd love to have some Splatoon inspired froyo. Hope some U.S. Franchise picks this up.
@aaronsullivan - I found the trending box, saw the top 3, kept clicking on things but never saw Splatoon, must have been fleeting. Too bad, I would have clicked on a link or whatever to keep the trend going. Is it trending on Twitter? I can go type #Splatoon on my Twitter account. Maybe I can spell it correctly even.
Aww, man! Lucky Canucks. Can't they do something like this with Yogurt Mountain or some other such business in the US?
dam it, people in europe and america need splatoon inspired froyo too!
@Nintend0ro there is a campaign/story mode. But, I've been hard pressed to find any info on it. At least get the game when it goes on sale.
"If you are a Canadian kid (or squid)"
YOURE A KID YOURE A SQUID
@Nintend0ro I'm normally the same, I normally don't get a hippo about online, but this is the first time I actually do. Finally a game that convinces me I should use online... now to go buy it. LOL
