Introducing the snack that understands us!
For those of us who identify as women, indulging in snacks can be a delicate affair. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if all our favorite treats could be transformed into a smooth, pastel-colored drink that we could sip daintily, all while enhancing our best features? Thankfully, Doritos is stepping up to the plate. They are set to debut a new line of chips that are not only smaller but also quieter — just like us.
If you were a fan of the concept behind “Lady Pens,” prepare to be thrilled by “Lady Doritos.”
In a conversation with NPR’s Freakonomics podcast, the CEO of PepsiCo, Evelyn Grant, shared her vision for transforming the brand since taking the helm in 2006. Under her leadership, the company has shifted from primarily offering junk food to healthier alternatives like oatmeal and delicious sparkling waters.
Now, she is embarking on a new innovation aimed at addressing the needs of women who enjoy the bold flavors of Doritos but often wish they could eat them with a bit more grace. Yes, you heard it right — Doritos is crafting chips specifically for women.
You might be wondering, “What does that even mean?” or perhaps you’re shouting, “Chips aren’t gendered!” But wait — here’s what Grant explained to Freakonomics: “When you observe how men and women consume chips, there are noticeable differences. Men typically dive into their single-serve bags with great enthusiasm, licking their fingers and pouring the crumbs straight into their mouths. Women, however, prefer not to create a scene. They tend to avoid loud crunching and finger-licking.”
Indeed, while I’d love to dive into a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos, savoring every last crumb, I refrain because society has conditioned me to maintain a certain decorum while eating. And let’s be honest, chewing is often seen as a masculine activity, right? So, what’s the solution? Grant indicated that it’s not merely about creating separate chips but rather designing snacks that cater specifically to women: “We’re exploring options for snacks that can be packaged and designed differently, focusing on low crunch levels, flavor profiles that don’t leave residue on fingers, and convenient purse-sized packaging.”
At last! A discreet and tidy snack option. For too long, women have faced the dilemma of either going hungry or lugging around oversized meals just to satisfy cravings. Now, we can simply toss a petite bag into our bags. And if we’re lucky, they’ll even come in various feminine colors, complementing our other pastel accessories. After all, matching our snacks to our belongings is a priority, right?
Social media users have had their say about Lady Doritos as well. The timing couldn’t be more fitting, especially in the wake of movements like #MeToo and #TimesUp. It seems Doritos is ready to join the conversation, declaring “#MeTooButMakeItDiscreet” and “TimesUpForMessyEaters.”
Kudos to Doritos for tapping into such a unique market, though one wonders how much demand there truly is for this.
