1989 Soft-Serve frozen yogurt. Frank Dineen comments "The frozen yogurt products were made using yogurts produced at Express sites, packaged by Ice Cream Company Thayer's, I think they were somewhere in Wales, after being acquired by Grand Met. Thayer's also produced great chocolate enrobed ski fruit bars, just like the current Mars and Snickers etc ice cream choc ice. I believe they were ahead of the game with those products before Mars. Thayer's products would often be available at Staplemead staff shop."
