Last night, Boston University Dining Services created such a stir on its Twitter page that “BU Dining Services” became a trending topic in Boston for a brief time. What started all the hubbub?
How do you like your Frozen Yogurt? We’re asking because @Pinkberry is opening on campus in Sept!!!#bufroyo

Pinkberry, a global leader in the recent froyo boom, is adding Commonwealth Avenue to its list of over 175 locations worldwide. Founded in West Hollywood in 2005, Pinkberry will take the place of Jamba Juice in the George Sherman Union, which is currently under renovation. This move prompted smoothie-loving Terriers to wonder where they will be getting their Pomegranate Paradise fix now, if at all.
Jamba moving to underneath Warren, Pinkberry going next to Starbucks in GSUMT @kalie0506: @alil555 where’s pinkberry gonna be?

Olecito is leaving, Jamba taking it’s placeMT @callmehetheruso what are you taking out of Warren if Jamba Juice is going there?

Olecito, whose burritos were once crowned the best in Boston by the Herald, will no longer operate at the bottom of Warren Towers, and Jamba Juice will take its place. According to BU Dining Services, Jamba Juice will still accept dining points, as will Pinkberry in the GSU.
Despite the announcements, some speculation still remains.
Woah… One announcement at a time!! MT @amirnili is it true that we’re getting a taco bell too? And if so, where?

BU Dining Services was similarly coy when rumors regarding Pinkberry began to surface. However, only time will tell if Rhett will soon be joined by another canine mascot.
How do you feel about the new additions? Leave a comment below.
The addition of Pinkberry makes me want to vomit. Few will be able to resist heading off for “some froyo” before pulling an all-nighter in Mugar writing a paper, or studying for that biochemistry midterm (code for posting obnoxious statuses on Facebook, and tweets on Twitter about how you’re a “college student who’s up all night! Weeee!!!”)
Any man, by the way, who is seen waiting in line at Pinkberry, deserves to have his dick chopped off. The excuse, “my girlfriend wants some” doesn’t fly either. Your girlfriend goes for pedicures, too. Do you accompany her to those as well?
You’re a dick. I hope you don’t go to my school.
You’re a pretty sucky person, dude. Let the kids eat their froyo and be happy.
The ousting of Olecito is very disappointing to me. Olecito had great quality food as well as the largest variety of sauces and lowest price (A burrito with guac at Chipotle is $9.50, while Olecito offered a burrito with guac, chips and a soda for $8). I believe Olecito’s downfall came from its inconsistency. If one of the veteran employees made your burrito, you would undoubtedly be satisfied. But too often a work-study employee would mold delicious ingredients into what can only be called burrito soup. I am deeply saddened by the loss of what was once Boston’s greatest burrito, but some may argue we had already lost Boston’s greatest burrito, before Olecito quit the shadow of Warren Towers.
Let’s try to refrain from name calling. Cyber bullying isn’t very cool.
