Discriminatory Candybar... a cool name for a band?
So I was in the "World Foods" isle at the grocery store tonight, and - as always - I was checking out all the weird Euro snackfoods (I've still never eaten a Jammie Dodger, but I will someday). They always have a lot of candy bars from various countries, and they're ALWAYS amusingly weird, but... tonight I found THIS:



I like that they underlined the word "not", as though implying "We're not kidding! Seriously!" I was by myself at the grocery store, and I was getting the strangest looks, but I just couldn't stop laughing at the "no women" symbol they used for the "o".

I don't know how masculine something can be with the name "Yorkie" though. Saying "I'll have another Yorkie, please" doesn't exactly make me feel like a hulking he-man.

I wonder what the ads for these candybars are like.

Well now I want to eat one, just to learn what happens!

...they should make "Yorkie" brand condoms. For gay men.

Oh man. Hearing "Yorkie" spoken in an English accent by a chubby British shopkeep makes it WAY less manly.

I also love the extra bit of sexism that implies women ALSO can't open jars, don't know about soccer, are afraid of spiders, and go all fucking gooey when the sleazy old man at the convenience store tells 'em they're hot.

That ad was so lame. I bet the candy tastes like crap.

Although I probably would have let that sleazy old man at the counter hit on me.

There's another ad for it and the lines for the jingle are something like:
"Good rich and thick. A milk chocolate brick. Each bite a chunky big mouth full."
...
No girls allowed, eh?
Haha. So wrong.
