Can confectionery be gender specific?

OutlawPete

I'm with Nestle on this, Yorkie's are for Men :cool:

Have you ever seen a woman eating a Yorkie?

Or a man eating a pack of Love Hearts or those sweet necklaces / bracelets?

Love hearts are yummy, gtfo

IvySlayer

Love Hearts are the best.

I love Yorkies:mad:
I actually had some ass hole in a shop messing with me when i was trying to buy one the last time by telling me i wasn't allowed it-wierdo

Mind you,seeing a man eating a Tangle Twister might be a bit wierd:pac:

TPD

Love hearts are feckin tasty, dunno what you're on about. As long as you don't sit fawning over them, and instead just fire them into the old gullet, you're still a man.

Nestle chocolate is shíte too.

*save it for R&R*

sometimes, sometimes not, e.g.the Lion Bar is fairly gender neutral, but you'd think it should be a boys bar.

Would a man eat a Turkish Delight?

I likes chupa chups :pac:

Men had Refreshers and Black Jacks, Love Hearts and Fruit Salads were for big girl's blouses :mad:

I remain to be convinced that a woman could have tackled a Time Bar back in the day.

Oh I love yorkies. Specially the biscuit and raisin ones.

Women don't eat those necklace thingies by the way, they're for kiddlywinks.

They sell these in a shop in rathnew, I bought a load of them one time and brought them to work. I was popular that day

It's ok when you're a kid to eat whatever you want.

But a man in his late 20's and on may only eat Yorkie, Snickers, Mars, Lion.

To buy a dairy milk is to suggest you have a vagina.

Well... a nice bit of clunge is a delicacy.

Don't suck to hard, I near choked to death in the Screen cinema a few years back when the lolly bit came away from the stick :eek:

Sucked it right down I did.

Had to punch myself in the chest about ten times in order to try some sort of reverse Heimlich maneuver.

Worked too, saved my own life :cool:

Precisely, or in a darkened Cinema

Them necklace things were great craic! Bite one in half and hold it with your teeth, pull the necklace away from you and release the bit in your teeth, savage projectile.

And there's nout wrong with a bita dairy milk either! Jaysus wile folk here altogether.

If it tastes good, eat it. That's my motto.

Yorkie KingSize is a mans chocolate bar. You need to psych yourself up before you attack one of those badboys.

Quite right.

I once gave a girl an Emerald toffee (well known and popular Men's only confectionery) and within two minutes she was crying with face pain :rolleyes:

How about these bad boys?

Yellow wrapper with clocks on it. Made by Caffreys(?). Cost 10p. Think pocket-sized slab of granite with a chocolate coating.

Sweets shouldn't be made to hurt you should they??

Feckin Toblerones hurt, did you ever try to bight one of the triangles off?? You impale the roof of your mouth!

There's an art to it, gotta get a toothhold in the downward gradient with enough pressure to snap it off at the joining

I lived on Time Bars at one stage, they are a piece of p1ss!! :cool:

Now Jaw Breakers - they were a different story. Also I remember rolling up a Wham Bar so I could eat it in one go (I regularly set myself such challenges). I failed miserably. Nearly joked on a mixture of green flaky fizzy bits (on the bar) and my own saliva. I tried a few more chomps before finally giving in, and then spat out the remnants only to see one of my teeth attached. As a girl, I should have know my limits

Impossible.

You need a steak knife to get a triangle off.

I think the only sweets that fellas shouldn't eat are the candy bracelets. The candy watches are ok but make sure you eat the watch face last or it will look like you're eating a bracelet.

Most girls i know tend to go for chocolate that comes in squares. Something to do with watching weight and once you open the bar your tempted to eat it all. But with the squares you can just break off a few. Don't know if that's how most women view chocolate.

eclectichoney

The whole galaxy range is such a girls product (I mean would a guy buy Galaxy bubbles, Minstrels and Ripples like??) Throw in flakes and buttons as well.

I would deffo see Lion bars as a guy thing (that's not to say they're not nyom) and to a lesser extent Mars bars. twirl is for the guys who might like a flake but it would be a bit girly. On this note there are also definite 'Dad' chocolate bars, like Toblerone and Turkish delight.

Then there are also straight down the middle bars which are gender neutral like Twix bars, Kitkats and Wispas.

That's just silly, galaxy is lovely, bought some the other day. How on earth are minstrels supposed to be girly?

(I just like chocolate...)

That's because the ads are aimed at girls!

It's not that Yorkie is not for females. It's not for girls. Men can be girls too.
