This reminds me of the Schwartze Herren chocolate bars I saw (and ate, fine, I'm a sucker for dark chocolate, offensiveness quotient be damned), which I believe translates* to "Black Men's Chocolate".

*Actual German-speaking Jezebels please feel free to correct me.

This reminds me of the Yorkie's bars I loved so dearly when I was in the UK. They launched into a "IT'S NOT FOR GIRLS!" campaign and went so far as to make the "O" in "YORKIE" into a circle and cross through a women's symbol. Stupid and insulting. I'll eat Cadbury instead.

@dingdang: Yorkies are so delicious I don't even care that they mock me on the wrapper. They are the best candy bar ever.

Also: In what sense was beef "Big News everywhere today!" Was there a Mad Cow epidemic back then too? In which case, I hardly think that's a selling point.

Well, I know that at my chapter of the She-Woman Man Haters Club, we eat scads and scads of tofu stew. Mmm, mmm! For Women Only!

@ellaesther: Amusingly enough, I had dinner with someone the other night (a man) who was accidentally brought his dish as tofu instead of chicken. I think the disconnect was that I had ordered mine with tofu. As he was starting to get ready to eat, I looked at it and remarked, "hey, that looks like tofu, not chicken." The gentleman made a face like a little kid getting served spinach for dessert, called over the server, and had it replaced.

I offered a bite of mine to taste and the guy made the same *ew* face and said, "um, no, that's ok."

Sometimes, life imitates idiotic stereotypes. ;)

@SomeAuthorGirl: I kind of hesitated to let loose with that particular smart remark, because I actually love tofu! It's a sadly easy target though.

You should have let him have a bite or two before you said anything -- bringing an end to conformism, one yummy bite at a time!

So Swanson 'Hungry Man Dinners' can be repackaged as 'Just Pick at it From the Edges, Ladies' or 'Shame on You For Finishing!'

Are you suggesting a marketing campaign where the Ladies' only involvement is to shop for it, prepare it, bring it to the table and clean it up when its done?
