Lady Crisps/Chips - ROFL - what next, even women are mocking this on twitter.

Btw we call them crisps in the UK, chips are what we call french fries.

The Lady Dorito, coming to a store near you soon.

Many women on social media have mocked the idea of 'lady-friendly' crisps.

Detailing the snacking behaviour of the different sexes, Ms Nooyi claimed that women "don't lick their fingers" and "don't like to pour the little broken pieces and the flavour into their mouth".

I don't know about ladies preferring it but in some instances I wish the chips / crisps won't make too loud of a noise while eating.

We have weekly meetings where we get a bag of chips with a sandwich and water. And we are on microphones and speakerphones in a conference call setting. Sometimes the crunch from me / others in my room is so loud that participants at other centers can hear it and vice versa. On those occasions I wish for a less loud Lay Chips.

Dip them in water first, problem solved.

There's an easy way to make chips not crunch too loudly.

It's called "closing your mouth".

(people have to be told this?)

On conference calls like these, I opt for the macaroni salad, or another salad instead of chips. I don't need the CFO saying, ahhh, Mr. Pilot please don't chew so loudly.

Tried that. Very uncomfortable to close mouth and eat crunch chips.

Well since the mods removed the threads on "Capitalism" and stuff from political forum, let's discuss the pluses and minuses of using Dorito chips during the conferences.

Now what makes you think that *using* Doritos ( crunchy or not) is a good idea at the first place?

What bigots some people are, it is clear they do not value diversity and inclusiveness of other people's cultures and mannerisms. Crunching of chips among some is considered to be a social taboo, so the CEO and her team have come up with a way to address this; this is what social and cultural inclusion is all about.
