As a woman, I have long dreamed of the day I could bite into a chip that has the same density as a menstrual pad.
That day may be coming sooner than I thought. In a new Freakonomics interview with the CEO of PepsiCo, Indra Nooyi, Nooyi revealed that the company is getting ready to release special snacks for women that would be designed and packaged differently.
Nooyi disclosed some of the essential gendered (and scientifically unproven) differences between men and women and how they eat chips.
"When you eat out of a flex bag — one of our single-serve bags — especially as you watch a lot of the young guys eat the chips, they love their Doritos, and they lick their fingers with great glee, and when they reach the bottom of the bag they pour the little broken pieces into their mouth, because they don’t want to lose that taste of the flavor, and the broken chips in the bottom," Nooyi told Freakonomics. "Women would love to do the same, but they don’t. They don’t like to crunch too loudly in public. And they don’t lick their fingers generously and they don’t like to pour the little broken pieces and the flavor into their mouth."
OhNoSheTwitnt @OhNoSheTwitnt Good news, ladies. We got a female Colonel Sanders and Doritos that don’t crunch, so feminism is cancelled. We’ve achieved equality. 11:15 AM - Feb 5, 2018
Listen. I'm all for ascribing negative social behaviors to men without any scientific basis. But I cannot count the numbers of times I've taken the New York City subway at 3 p.m. and watched men AND women eat a bunch of chicken wings, lick their saucy fingers, then put their nasty ass hands on the communal subway pole. This foul behavior transcends gender, race and class.
That's not stopping Nooyi:
"It’s not a male and female as much as 'are there snacks for women that can be designed and packaged differently?' And yes, we are looking at it, and we’re getting ready to launch a bunch of them soon," Nooyi told Freakonomics. "For women, low-crunch, the full taste profile, not have so much of the flavor stick on the fingers, and how can you put it in a purse? Because women love to carry a snack in their purse."
LibyaLiberty speak for YOURSELF. i have long been waiting for a lady chip, and will now launch a campaign to pressure the Doritos company to add a kind of hijab-like layer to each modest serving. #Shariatos https://twitter.com/ShitAmyySays/status/960533974174007297 … 10:24 AM - Feb 5, 2018
Congratulations, ladies! What you lack in first female presidents you now have in first female fried chicken mascots and purse-sized Doritos you can squeeze next to your tampons.
America, the beautiful.
No!!! I want the CRUNCHE!

Maybe they can just make them suppositories for the sweetums.
“Maybe they’ll introduce flatulence-free pinto beans for the ladies to whom flatulence is a sign of gastric distress, while to men it’s more of a recreation.”
If there are two or more men it goes beyond recreation to COMPETITION!
