are yorkies too chunky for women?

thafitz · 03-03-2005 3:28pm #1

just wondering what the general opinion on this is. i think it was brilliant when yorkie had the "not for girls" thing written on them, especially nowadays when everything is so politically correct. personally i think yes they are too big for handbags

Pinkchick03 · 03-03-2005 4:04pm

Nah women (like me) can handle the chunkiness!!!! Nice big chunks!

I have a big handbag for yorkies! YUM!

Thats the reason they did it. No publicity is bad publicity. There were girls on RTE complaining about it last year, thats what they want.

its such a bad add

koneko · 03-03-2005 4:24pm

I wonder where Memphis' post went.

It's all harmless marketing, it's funny, who really cares? It's not like they're serious.

Yorkie ad;

Woman goes to footbal game, wearing the local teams shirt.
"Oh, look, she's wearing the same top as me; I'm going home"

=-=

Funny 'cos its true.

I think there is the start of an anti PC backlash. Anyone see the Tesco's insurance TV advert. At Tesco insurance we give careful male drivers the same 10% discount we give our 'Careful Female Drivers' (said as a careful woman driver reverses her car into the back of another car (with a bloke in) while trying to parallel park)

Classic!!

:D

magick · 03-03-2005 4:32pm

personally it refreshing to see some advertisments that arent so PC. Remember when they had to change the gollywog wrapper

BEAT · 03-03-2005 4:41pm

actually I'd be glad to exchange twinkies or hostess products by mail in exchange for some of that chocolate goodness

any takers?

simu · 03-03-2005 4:41pm

Pretty dumb ad campaign tbh and you'd have to wonder why these so-called macho men are so good at managing large objects in their mouths!

Sherifu · 03-03-2005 4:43pm

The yorkie choclate isnt that nice.
Im sure if you eat enough of them
you'll eventually break a tooth.
Theyre solid bars. (are they German made by any chance

)

theCzar · 03-03-2005 5:09pm

I've just realised i want a yorkie. now that's marketing

Rossonero · 03-03-2005 5:12pm

Def not for girls, just like pints are not for girls

Isnt there a chocolte forum for this?
Anyway I don't really like yorkies. I prefer double cream bars, or galaxies, Yorkies hurt my teeth.

Shall we start calling you Blisterwoman then

?

Yeah, my thoughts exactly - I see two chocolate threads in here. Seems as though the chocolate forum isn't being noticed but, then again, it is in an obscure enough place...

Blisterman · 03-03-2005 7:34pm

Hey, I'm all man.
I don't eat chocolate anyway. Too many calories.

crazy angel · 03-03-2005 7:35pm

Slutmonkey57b · 04-03-2005 1:35am

Women can give birth.

So I'd have to say, no.

Only Human · 04-03-2005 1:49am

The whole "Yorkie, not for girls!" campaign has been a strange one. It is probably one of the most offensive, degrading, sexist add campaigns ever, yet it's not something you hear people complain about! If anyone pays any atention to adds you might remember the 'Thai Bites' add. I remember people complained about that because it gave false images of thai culture despite the fact it was one of the least offensive adds I've ever seen in my life. The message of the add was completely obvious and was the exact opposite of what the people were complaing about. People need to get their priorities sorted!
All summer long my Brother had a job in some crappy little shop and for two solid months he refused to sell Yorkies to girls.

The_B_Man · 04-03-2005 2:43am

what i wanna know is:

Are women too chunky for Yorkies?

Wolf · 04-03-2005 2:52am

Women can eat them but only if broken up first by a strong man....

What other products do hostess make?

different orifice though, so the baby/yorkie comparison has a poor foundation.

I like to eat them two chunks at a time, ROOOOAAAAAARRRRR, i'm a man, me.

You may have noticed that an advertising campaign for Yorkie chocolate bars is based on the slogan "Not For Girls", the premise being that they are too big and chunky for ladies to eat.

So when a member of the dungaree brigade walked into a pub in Rotherham and asked for a bar of the aforementioned chocolate, the barman refused saying: "Sorry, they're not for girls." Such wit. Predictably in this day and age, the pub is now being sued by the aggrieved woman for sex discrimination.

Why do I not believe that story?

joejoem · 04-03-2005 1:57pm

The real question is - is kieora too juicy for crows

magpie · 04-03-2005 1:59pm

Hyperbole? where?

bringitdown · 04-03-2005 2:01pm

Nope its not too juicy - but it is too orangey.

Then theres the whole squash \ capri-sun debate, and does a Mars a day help you work rest and play...

Really I just don't know.

Winters · 04-03-2005 2:02pm

Are they too chunky for girls?
No ... but I am.

ho, ho!

funkyniff · 04-03-2005 2:15pm

Yorkie Actualy Did A Promotion To Include Girls They Got Permission To Call The Isle Of Man "the Isle Of Woman" For The Weekend And Changed The Wrappers To Pink!!
I Personaly Love Yorkies Esp The Raison (cant Spell) And Biscuit....mmmmm

They shouldn't bite, suck the bar instead. I believe there is a lesson here for everyone.

ether · 05-03-2005 7:08am

Its kinda funny but still a bit sexist. Its like saying to some women, you can't drink out of a pint glass, only half pints. Surely if they're too chunky for women they should have made them less chunky, I've seen the new bars and they're the same size only with pink wrappers, whats changed?

exactly! the quality of the chocolate, the taste, the texture are all so very poor that i couldnt give a rats ass what theirs ads are like.

Oh, and women can handle the chunkiness, ask yor ma!

Spacedog · 05-03-2005 2:20pm

"The Boys go to Mars to get more bars,
The Girls go to Jupiter to get more stupider!"

I heard this great rhyme in the schoolyard when I was 5-6,
this debate reminded me of it, girls are taking over all our stuff,
if they get to the Yorkie all is lost for our gender,
for the love of God, is nothing sacred?
All over Ireland there are mach3 razors clogged with filthy leg 'n' pit hair,
and we do nothing, well I've had enough, the line must be drawn here!
this far and no further. The Yorkie may not be the nicest bar,
but the rasin and biscut ones are well worth fighting for.
