But with a new Pinkberry store in San Jose and a new Red Mango store - owned by Survivor: Cook Islands winner Yul Kwon - just opened this weekend, the battle of the heavily Korean-influenced Frozen Yogurt wars has officially moved to the Bay Area as reported in Mercury News: “The giants of the tart “fro-yo” craze — Pinkberry and Red Mango — are opening across the street from each other at Santana Row and Valley Fair, the first stores in San Jose and among the first outside the Los Angeles and New York markets … Pinkberry has a dominant presence, with 71 stores and a possibly better known brand. It also has the undeniable Santana Row ambience on its side… Red Mango … with 47 stores, it claims to be the originator of tart frozen yogurt and seems to have an edge with foodie taste-testers.” [...] [...] When I first blogged about Pinkberry my fellow 8Asian bloggers were shocked that I had never tried the frozen yogurt phenomenon; at the time, they only had stores in Southern California and in New York City.

Red Mango actually came BEFORE Pinkberry and is the Korean original that started it all. Red Mango was incorporated in 2002...whereas Pinkberry was founded in 2005! All of my Korean friends complained about Pinkberry when the craze hit in So Cal...and referred to the very similar Red Mango treats that they tasted in Korea years before. You can knock everyone else for copying Pinkberry...but leave Red Mango alone! Their fro-yo is REAL yogurt, ya'll. That's why it's creamier and a bit yummier. Eh, a lame comment. But I like Red Mango! :) It’s a shame really, for late-comers, Red Mango. Red Mango actually came BEFORE Pinkberry and is the Korean original that started it all.

But the American Express ad campaign just goes to show how out of touch media people (including advertising) is with 98% of America.
