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

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?

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?”.

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.

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!

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.

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.
