In case you missed it, the internet is not happy about the announcement that Doritos are reportedly going to bring out ‘Lady Doritos’.
In an interview with Freakonomics, PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi talked about how ‘gender differences’ are driving product development.
“[Women] don’t like to crunch too loudly in public. And they don’t lick their fingers generously and they don’t like to pour the little broken pieces and the flavor into their mouth,” she said.
Crunching? HOW UNCOUTH.

As a result, he said, Doritos were researching a chip that would be "low-crunch" with the same "taste profile" and - get this - "purse size."
"Because women love to carry a snack in their purse," she said.
Naturally, Twitter had a field day. Here are some of the best.
Lady Doritos only have 77 percent the crunch of regular Doritos.

Lady Doritos isn't a bad idea. Sometimes I eat chips so loudly I start my period and it's distracting to the office :/

Now with the "Lady Doritos" I can eat all the chips I want while hiding in the closet to murder a man.

Lady Doritos? Oh my, let me put my parasol down and remove my white gloves. This corset is too tight. I feel faint. I shall now take to my bed.

To be honest when I saw "Lady Doritos" trending I was really hoping that it was just Kylie naming her baby. #LadyDoritos

Reached in my lady pocket for my lady Doritos and all I can think is “I’m glad I used a lady razor so I don’t have any lady beard on my lady snacks.”

Now when I open feminine hygiene products in the bathroom stall, everyone will know it is, in fact, a pad and not a bag of Doritos. NOW EVERYONE WILL KNOW I AM A WOMAN! #LadyDoritos

I don't need quieter chips, I need a chip bag that my kid can't hear me open from 2 floors away, as I hide in my closet. #LadyDoritos

But before you angrily crunch your way through an original packet in protest, it looks like people may have got ahead of themselves.
We already have Doritos for women — they’re called Doritos, and they’re loved by millions.

Oh. Ok then.
