While we were busy fighting for gender equality, Pepsi decided to gift womankind with feminine chips. But why stop there, we want more such gendered products!
While we were busy fighting for gender equality, Pepsi decided to gift womankind with feminine chips. But why stop there, we want more such gendered products from corporates, please?
So women, while we were talking about all the injustices and oppression that we face due to our gender, it seemed someone had finally listened to us and decided to give us some respite from a terrible burden. Yes, you remember how embarrassed you felt eating chips which made unpleasant noise with their crunchiness and then you didn’t know what to do with all that unsightly dust left behind on your delicate, manicured fingers? So, Pepsi has decided to deliver us from this agony by presenting the crunch less chips, specially designed for women! Tada! Come on folks, let’s rejoice!
In a recent Freakonomics podcast, when the interviewer asked Pepsi CEO Indra Nooyi about the differences between men and women eating chips (!), she replied,
“When you eat out of a flex bag — one of our single-serve bags — especially as you watch a lot of the young guys eat the chips, they love their Doritos, and they lick their fingers with great glee, and when they reach the bottom of the bag they pour the little broken pieces into their mouth, because they don’t want to lose that taste of the flavor, and the broken chips in the bottom. Women would love to do the same, but they don’t. They don’t like to crunch too loudly in public. And they don’t lick their fingers generously and they don’t like to pour the little broken pieces and the flavor into their mouth.”
Apparently, someone forgot to tell Pepsico that this is 2018 and women are capable of eating chips in an ‘unladylike’ manner and we don’t really mind licking our fingers. Also, what the heck are chips good for without the crunchiness?
But since companies like Pepsi are being so concerned about our feminine needs, can we please demand for some more such products? Pretty please?
So ladies, come on let’s give companies some more suggestions for feminine products because you are a lady and you know the difficulties of maintaining that lady like demeanor while traversing the hardships of every day life, such as eating chips. And while you’re at it, do read how women over the ages have been taught and forced to be ladylike in their food habits on this thread.

I've routinely oiled, shampooed, and got a spa for my hair. Yet, my hair-fall problem didn't stop! How did I fix my hair-fall concern? I switched to Traya.
Ever since I was a little girl, I loved playing with dolls–my favourite task was to comb their silky smooth hair with the little plastic comb that came with the doll’s box set. I would squat in the garden beside the marigold bushes and spend hours playing with the synthetic hair, all in an attempt to replicate the care my grandfather showered on me.
My grandfather would religiously sit with me every Sunday, and oil my hair with warm coconut oil. No one better than him knew the pain of having thin wavy hair that tangled up like cobwebs. Caring for his grandkid’s hair was his way of showing love and teaching me how to groom myself.
I’ve inherited the Sunday morning hair oiling ritual and the wonderfully unpredictable, wavy hair from my grandfather. I affectionately refer to it as hair with a mind of its own, as there hasn’t been a day when my hair hasn’t been a bit temperamental. On a rainy day, it is greasy, on a hot day itchy, on a cold winter morning frizzy! When I need it to stay straight, it dances like a flag in the wind and when I want the messy look, my hair mimics soaked wool!
