I tried the new Sweet Frog the day after it opened. The flavors were obviously artificial. It left a 'chemical' flavor in my mouth. I'm voting Handel's on this one. Yes, I'm aware that Handel's uses some artificial flavors and ingredients as well. But, at least Handel's ice cream doesn't leave that nasty after-taste of something that resembles benzine in my mouth.

Hi John. This is Matt, one of the owners of Sweet Frog. I apologize that your experience was not positive at Sweet Frog. We certainly understand that some people are "ice cream" people and that frozen yogurt may not appeal to them. In fact, my hope is that between us and Handel's, we develop a synergy together as a dessert destination in the area. We want to keep business in Stow and draw outside people to the area. We have too many empty storefronts in Stow. If you feel led, please vote for BOTH of us in the contest. If not, no problem.
As for your "benzine" comment, I would invite you to come look at our ingredients. Just like ice cream, some of our flavors have less artificial ingredients than others. Regardless of where you go - enjoy!!

There's no comparison between Handel's and Sweet Frog! Handel's all the way!
