Dori-no! PepsiCo boss says biz is planning to sell lady crisps

Oh brilliant, just as the world decides rather than let women wear some more dignified outfits whilst advertising tat at sporting events they'll just ban them out right and replace them with kids, ignoring the fact that this is the ONE job in the world where women are guaranteed to be paid more than men.

Not liking having sticky hands after eating crisps is not a gender specific quality, nor is the amount of noise the food makes. EVERYONE is self-conscious if they are the only person in the room eating something noisy.

<insert word>'tard

1. ...this is the boss of PepsiCo,... perhaps she is slightly more informed than your average <insert word>'tard on twitter or el reg preacher.

2. ...if women don't want to buy the crisps they won't. if men do want to buy the crisps they will, and the crisps will be rebranded for men. if nobody buys them they will make no money and be axed. the problem solves itself.

So you have equal scoffing hopefully you have equal pay as well?

I thought the point was going to be ...

of a 'Lady Crisp' that it was something that would let her eat and keep talking at the same time.

Disappointed to read that it was just about fingers -- which I also don't like getting mucky.

Where’s the ‘Dorito’s are not crisps?’ option?

It works both ways...

My 'Savile' range of teenage pump action facial products failed horribly, and I'm still unclear why. I just hope my 'Harvey' range of catering-size lube tubes - 'for when you need to slide in without anyone noticing' - works better in the market.

I once...

Got a lump about the size of a fist entirely of "flavour" in a packet of Tesco Own Brand. I should have got on tv/in the papers with a photo of it... but really, I could not be bothered.

I'm surprised at you all!

"are you a delicate lady crisp nibbler or a dedicated man snack muncher? " got absolutely NO comments at all?

I'm a delicate lady nibbler. I would like to meet a "man snack muncher".

I hope she doesn't mind if I take my sweet time nibbling at her crisps, I certainly wouldn't mind her making lots of noise munching on my snack!

The Era Of Stupid

What a good thing we don't have to live through a time of mindlessly superficial stupidity and vacuously imbecilic marketing ... oh.

There's a line in Sherlock where Mycroft admits that being brilliant means that he feels as if he's living amongst goldfish.

I imagine Reg readers in particular must feel actual, physical pain listening to marketurds, politicians and corporate management-speak. We may not all be "brilliant" but we are suffering agonies through the Era Of Stupid. Not least because the internet has given goldfish a voice.

And what about non-binary crisps?

This is just another tool of the binary agenda. There must be crisps for every identification and orientation.

I would respectfully suggest...

...to Indra Nooyi, to get out and get a life.

handbag-sized packets

how about micro-sized ones? You know...

....

I hate all of you.

You prevented me from making a joke along the lines of "that reminds me of my ex..."

Bastards.

If women don't want orange crap on their fingers...

... they shouldn't insert them into Donald Trump!

How can you have uncrisp crisps?

I'm confused by the gender politics.

I'm curious about the new crisps, but I'm not a woman.

Should I not be, because I'm a man? Exactly what is the uniqueness that women have, that I do not share, that would guide them to choose one snack food over another?

It's likely that my view is flawed and simplistic, but I don't know how to learn unless I ask. How is this not sexist? I don't get it.
