Are you a lady? Then Doritos KNOWS what you want in chip.
Yeah right.
But here is yet another company that wants to be stupid and try to design a product "for women" for no reason. Washington post has a fun article in response to it: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...-woman-crunch/ Said article includes this link, which I assume is the source it is responding to, esp the part I've quoted below. http://freakonomics.com/podcast/indra-nooyi/ Quote:

I've seen other women do the same. I might not "lick [my] fingers generously" to the point of slobbering all over my hands, but look... that finger tip amount of concentrated flavor at the end, who in their right mind would say no to that. I'd be insulted if this didn't make me laugh so hard. I mean... Quote:
And gentlemen... Please, if they do come out with this, may I suggest that you enjoy it plentifully yourself and let them know. (Unless they're terrible.) May I also suggest even posting to them snarkily via social media about how great they are to fit into whatever you might carry around, be it a messenger bag, backpack, brief case, etc. |

I don't eat male-marketed Doritos. Probably not gonna eat female-marketed Doritos.
Hooray for gender-neutral Lays.

Is that a joke?
It's not like we are sat at the dinner table when eating doritos, have I sucked the powder off my finger.. yes.. I don't tip the bag up into my mouth though, more likely to end up wearing them. Food is food, why not just make 'less messy' dorito's for anyone who might prefer less powder. Last edited by newfan; 02-06-2018 at 10:58 AM. |

And those fingers were eaten by an eagle every day .
Or vulture, depending on which version you read.

And the only reason we have purses at all is because none of our garments come with functional pockets.

I thought this was a meme until I made a joke about it. My wife and her sister very quickly educated me on the facts.

I know it's an easy target to make a witty reply but if you only knew how these companies use Big Data and the amount of money/work that goes into market research you would know that this crazy idea is not as crazy as it may seem.
Yes you can cherry pick examples of when a company made clear mistakes but hindsight is 20/20 and if they spent more than the average person's yearly income on this product you can bet they didn't just come up with this out of their ass. |

I'm amused by all this. Sounds like the kind of "market demographic" data that is discussed in corporate board rooms and behind-the-scenes think-tanks, not something that any company wants leaked to the public.

I must confess to having finished off a bag of Cool Ranch that may not have been in enough of a ladylike manner. I apologize for this grievous sin.
But that 3 for $6 sale was too good to miss when I usually don't buy them due to the cost. So if anyone takes issue with my chip eating... OH WELL. |
