On the rare occasions that I carry a handbag I could fit a jumbo sized packet of Doritos in there. The most iconic handbag that I can think of (Hermes Birkin) is so massive you could fit a three course meal in there. Do they think we're all carrying around bags the size of our phones?

Thanks PERF I don’t twitter so sometimes take a while to catch up on the new acronyms.

Trills · 05/02/2018 11:59

I'd actively go out and buy some crisps if they had an advert with a big ridgy crisp covered in tasty powder with a woman opening her mouth wide, taking a big crunchy bite, and a the tag line "make some noise".

ItWentInMyEye · 05/02/2018 11:57

Fit in a handbag? My current bag is more like a holdall so I can carry one of those massive sharing (as if) bags! I hope I don't sprout a penis from all the man crisps I've devoured over the years Shock

TIM = trans identifying male. Right thinking women refuse to use let them use the word women, as they are in no way women. Using this term actually makes people pause and recognise the reality that these are MEN.

OutyMcOutface · 05/02/2018 11:49

I actually only eat crisps for the crunching...

  • Fits in handbag
  • Quiet
  • Soft
  • inoffensive

= tissues.

WhiskeySourpuss · 05/02/2018 11:45

Apparently the packet will be able to fit in a handbag 

I can quite easily get a multi pack of 6 salt & vinegar in my handbag so I shall still be able to eat man crisps unless I'm expected to get a smaller more ladylike handbag as opposed to the suitcase I usually lug around

Waddlelikeapenguin · 05/02/2018 11:39

I dont have a handbag does this mean i cant eat crisps Shock

I missed bic lady pens - thank you for the joy the reviews have given me Grin

TheHolidayArmadillo · 05/02/2018 11:36

Yet more evidence that I’m clearly not a lady 🤔

(What’s a TIM??)

NovemberWitch · 05/02/2018 11:34

Looks like it might be the first in a line of marketing to the trans market. PositivelyPERF has it right.

No idea how real this actually is but, after yorkie for the menz and Bic lady pens, I am hedging my bets on it being true!

Is this honesty real?

What is it?- ODFOTTFBOFO

Melamin · 05/02/2018 11:14

I eat big packets of big crisps in interesting flavours in front of the computer where no one can hear me Grin. I eat them 2 or 3 at a time to maximise the crunchiness.Shock Sometimes I eat the entire packet by myself Blush

I lurve spring onion and mature cheese and onion. Can't stand salt and vinegar with added MSG Envy

Can't see little pink crunchless crisps going anywhere fast Confused

DontWannaThanks · 05/02/2018 11:09

Fuck off.

"women's don't like to crunch loud" the crunch is the best bit of eating crisps! That and licking the flavour off your fingers.

NorbertTheDragon · 05/02/2018 11:01

The crunch is the best bit!

Mind you I have no problems eating crisps in public, and I don't have a handbag I have a rucksack. And my coat pockets are big enough to fit a packet in (was very pleased when I discovered this!)

Omg, that must mean I'm a man? Shock

I always call Prawn Cocktail flavour "girl crisps" to Ds1 as when he was little he took against the colour pink and refused to eat his previous favourite. Grin I hate them, which goes to prove my manliness!

GoodyMog · 05/02/2018 10:50

If they aren't going to crunch does this mean they are going to be stale and soggy? Who the fuck wants non-crunchy crisps?

Slitherout · 05/02/2018 10:47

They haven't mentioned what lady friendly flavours they'll be offering and how many bag designs will be released. Which handbags will they match, will one match my Orla kiely or do I need a new bag??? My lady brain can't cope!!!!

Elledouble · 05/02/2018 10:47

Fuck’s sake. I’ve just angry-crunched my way through a packet of Hula Hoops. If I’m a man now I might start “adjusting” myself in public.

YouCantBeSirius · 05/02/2018 10:47

Apparently the packet will be able to fit in a handbag Hmm

37KAT · 05/02/2018 10:44

I might get some for my male colleague who crunches and munches crisps next to me - might quieten him down a bit.

McTufty · 05/02/2018 10:43

SMALLER? I eat more crisps than any man I know.

Ereshkigal · 05/02/2018 10:41

The TIMs can have shit lady crisps. I must be a man.

Soubriquet · 05/02/2018 10:41

Ah jeez they will be low fat and diet crisps won't they?

RaspberryCheese · 05/02/2018 10:36

This is bullshit dressed in marketing. The absolute truth is that they want to sell a smaller bag but at a premium price. Thats the real reason.
