Maybe it would be better if they introduced Doritos for men with extra crunch. They have probably done a load of market research where a number of women have said they don’t like noisy crisps. In reality when it comes to snacking there is not much innovation left so if 2 people said they’d like chocolate laced with cyonide I’m sure someone would try and launch it.

Also surely quiet doritos will be soft. Soggy doritos sound gross. Stand against soggy doritos. Will be like when you buy a packet in the shop thats open a tiny tiny bit, and you do not realise until you try to crunch your way into one and its like eating a fucking sponge.

Actually this is a fantastic idea....just that they'be got the branding and target market wrong. These should be repackaged immediately as 'the office crisp'! How many times have I dreamt of leaping over my desk partition and strangling the muncher on the other side....these could save the sanity of millions!

It’s just another PR stunt, designed to provoke the professionally offended brigade. It’s like changing the recipe of salad cream or threatening to stop making salt & vinegar crisps or whatever. Yawn.

I really can’t get worked up about it.

runny mashed potatoes with a straw to stop the munching & crunching noises noooooo! Think of the slurping! 😖

HoneyDragon · 05/02/2018 23:16

Oh Jamie; I’ve taken part in focus groups. When they say 85% of women say they’d like quieter Doritos what they mean is they had a focus group of 8 women and a variety of snacks and beers and one woman several beers in said “ do you know what? wouldn’t it be BRILLIANT if crisps were quieter?” And everyone agreed except for Susan who was on strong antibiotics and Dr Pepper, and Clare with an R who was on the fence because “Wotsits and Skips are already quiet, aren’t they?”.

If you eat glittery crisps do you shit glittery shits?

I like a PP have misophonia. The sound of others eating sends me into an uncontrollable rage with fight or flight style anxiety. Can we not just sell bags of runny mashed potatoes with a straw to stop the munching & crunching noises?

UpstartCrow · 05/02/2018 23:07

Are they going to make quiet celery and apples? I manage to eat quite a lot of those.

LadyMcLadyCrisps · 05/02/2018 23:05

Do shuddup now womenz... its only market research! Thanks Jamie I am glad you have put us back in our place!

Someone mentioned glittery crisps upthread. I’m sure some of the vile M&S Xmas prosecco crisps I’ve tried had sparkly bits (gold). Wrong on every level. 🤮

Jamiek80 · 05/02/2018 22:30

Why so much hostility I would guess these have come from market research where hundreds of women were asked why they didn’t eat crisps. Maybe you can blame the men who interpreted the results as women who want ladie crisps, but somewhere along the line women said they were would eat more crisps if they were quieter.

If I have to drink Rose I'm definitely having gender reassignment.

boatyardblues · 05/02/2018 21:53

I just checked the calendar to make sure it wasn't April 1st.

Same here. 🙄

PositivelyPERF · 05/02/2018 21:37

slitherout you’ll probably get chucked into the back of a van and rushed of for emergency gender reassignment.

HoneyDragon · 05/02/2018 21:35

They will cost 9.1% more to buy. Plus have VAT on them on account although man crisps are a necessity lady crisps are not.

LadyMcLadyCrisps · 05/02/2018 21:33

Parsley, thats nothing. I can fit an entire family sized tupperware full of contraband man snacks in mine on our cinema trips.

Luckily, Doritos will no longer be required...

LadyMcLadyCrisps · 05/02/2018 21:31

I want pink glittery crisps godammit! And to mark the special occasion, how about one of those 1950’s style ‘buy darling little wifey a vacumn cleaner’ type adverts to really get the message across.

Parsleyisntfood · 05/02/2018 21:26

Handbag size?! I can testify that my handbag can hold a sharing pack of onion rings and a multi packet of kitkats.
