Pinkberry customers are up in arms about Asian stereotypes among the Alessi housewares carried by the fro-yo chain. Of particular offense are the Mandarin Juicers, which the Drop the Juicer! Campaign describes as "essentially three-dimensional caricatures of Chinese 'coolies' or laborers who emigrated to the United States well over a century ago."
