I'm curious why Kosher shops have these?  I thought it was a Mexican thing.  Is there any special connection with being Jewish?
Only that the product above is made by a company with kosher certification.  There are loads of worldly foods enjoyed by those that keep kosher (I mean, I never considered Fritos to be a Mexican food until I saw someone eat them with Chili), however a lot of manufacturers will not have the kosher certification (pretty sure Old El Paso doesn't in UK, they may have it on their vegetarian products in the states).

A majority of the products at the kosher supermarkets are imported from the States and are either made by kosher companies (as like Lieber's in the above links, or Glick's) or are simply imports of some favourite American brands (Motts, Apple & Eve, etc) that happen to have a kosher mark on it (it's easier to gain kosher status in the states than the UK, but I won't go into why on this forum now).

FFS!  If this *isn't* some kind of viral marketing/April Fool's joke, then we may as well let the nukes fly, because we're just hopeless.

A quieter crunch and sold in packets sized small enough to fit in a handbag?  These aren't for women... they're for sneaking into the cinema!

I bet they cost more because they're uniquely manfactured for the delicate female.  And they'll probably come in a pink bag.

Quote from: the article
(U)nder new laws launching later this year by the Advertising Standards Authority, they will not be allowed to be marketed as ladies’ crisps in the UK.

The new law has been conceived in order to ban gender stereotyping in advertising.

Too right.  If I ate Doritos now, I'd stop over this.  They must not be rewarded for this!

I dont eat doritoes or fritos, but I got genuinely pissed off shopping with all the Man Sized packaging. Yet when it's branded for women it always costs more and is less/smaller. Thank goodness for that future rule, I've had enough of gendered adverts for food!

When no one buys them, they will soon realise what an awful idea it was.

You could always have a diet coke if you are secure with your sexuality.  Otherwise, stick to Coke Zero, marketed to real men.
