Nameberry: Red Mango. The original to the Pinkberry original—ah, so that's where the name came from. "Red" is muted to "pink"; "mango" is downsized and made less tropical in "berry." We still don't get it.

Priceberry: $3.50 (unless indicated, prices represent small size with one topping before tax).

Heightberry:
4.5”

Décorberry:
Homey.

Flavorberry:
Like Pinkberry, Red Mango comes in two flavors: original and green tea. Coincidence?

Tart-o-meter (from zero to Pinkberry): Pinkberry, minus one.

The Verdict:
Sure, Red Mango technically predates Pinkberry. And sure, Pinkberry ripped off Red Mango’s formula for success. But to our tongues, Pinkberry’s sweeter, tarter and, well, Pinkberrier than its forefather.

Go, go Yogotango >>
