It’s not even official summer yet and it’s already been jorts-soakingly hot. Your options for finding a cooling treat when you’re out of cash include: digging through the trash at your local grocery store and consulting that Pee-wee episode on how to make Dumpster ice cream soup, or hanging around ice cream parlors on windy days hoping a kid’s scoop gets blown your way. Or, you could weigh in on the debate between the Manhattan-centric Pinkberry and Brooklyn-friendly Red Mango to win a sweet free gift card for some cooling froyo.
The fine folks at Snubbr, a crowd-sourced product recommendation site, want to hear your comments, and we’ll pick one winner to receive a $25 gift card for the brand you pick.
Fill in your thoughts in the comments below. After a week, we’ll pick a winner and $25 worth of your preferred frozen yogurt will be on its way to you! That’s enough to treat you and a few friends (or just eat it all yourself. No judging here).
Snubbr notes that when Red Mango opened a store across from Pinkberry in St. Marks Place two years ago, the city became a sort of mini-battleground for frozen yogurt. Both places have their die-hard supporters: Some swear by the creamy, more health-conscious yogurt served at Red Mango. Others love Pinkberry’s crunchy, less creamy taste. Still others prefer less popular places like /Eks/ in Williamsburg, described by one fan as a “hipster frozen yogurt chain.”
So whattya think, brokesters? Red or Pink? Thanks to the folks over at Snubbr.com for the giveaway!

definetely red mango!! Pinkberry all tastes the same with all the flavors,
it's frozen yogurt- it's suppose to be TANGY!! and also Pinkberry is too sweet.
I like Pinkberry's style better though.. but flavor goes to Red Mango!!!
I've only had Pinkberry but I heard Red Mango is a little more yougurt-ish which I prefer. Plus, doesn't Red Mango have probiotics? I couldn't say which I prefer though since I haven't had both.. but with a $25 gift certificate I could *wink wink*.
Red Mango is much better frozen yogurt. The only thing better at Pinkberry is the decor.
Pinkberry - because I like my frozen yogurt tart and slightly icy.
And I love the seasonal toppings (lychee!)
Red Mango!
Well, I use to love pinkberry then I had red mango but now I'm switching back to pinkberry. Love its chocolate and original and the fact that all toppings are included in the price and its CHEAPER! Plus! Why does red mango charge more for its flavor yogurt vs the original flavor? That is so LAME! That is wackity wack wack!
PINKBERRY is very tasty,..*( esp. the Mango) but SO EXPENSVE!!! i heard that the Lichee flavour was abs. divine,.. but I never had a chance to try it,bc they told me that is was only a temp. seasonal flavour. :( Toppings should NOT cost extra! And ESP.when one orders a cup of the fro yogurt,.. they should AT LEAST FILL UP the cup SIZE all the way to the top INSTEAD of merely just HALF WAY!!!! PinkBerry has a better name which I would associate to something appealing and tasty like Froy yogurt, rather than a Red Mango.
Red Mango wins.. I am a faithful customer and I always get the best frozen yogurt and service from red mango :)
I would have to choose red mango even though I didn't even have pinkberry yet. I guess I should though so I can really vote
Red Mango! Self serve so you can pack in as many toppings as you want- shamelessly! Cheaper and more flavors!! Also, red mango existed in Korea before pinkberry emerged. Red Mangoooooo!!!!!!!!!!
