Women's cereal

Mr. Darcy · 2013-03-28 01:15:57

So I bought a huge box of Special K because Fred Meyer had them on sale for $3.

Good grief, though, the box might as well say "NO BOYZ!" It tells you how to lose an inch off your waist in two weeks, has a photo of a model surrounded by girl power platitudes, and you can redeem three box tops for free nail polish.

It's toasted grain flakes! Come on, do men and women have such different nutritional needs that men wither away by eating Special K instead of Wheaties?

I'm equally confused by Secret deodorant, by the way.

LeighSabio · 2013-03-28 01:47:12

Silly marketing is silly. Only difference in men's and women's nutritional needs is that men generally need more calories to maintain their weight than women do, and I think a larger proportion of these calories has to come from protein, but maybe I'm mistaken.

Also, men's and women's deodorant actually uses the same amount of the same active ingredient.

Obā-san · 2013-03-28 01:48:08

Special K is delish

Imipolex G · 2013-03-28 01:53:06

men's cereal is about BUILDING MUSCLE AND STRENGTH
women's cereal is about slimming down to that figure you've always wanted~

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2013-03-28 01:57:47

lol

I just like when cereal tastes good! I am quite happy with my muscles and figure, thank you very much advertising. :)

I think my favorite silly gender-based marketing is the Dove Men+Care thing, where the loofah/poof/whatever it's called is given the name "Shower Tool".

same.

I almost bought one of those because it was so silly.

Previous Calica · 2013-03-28 02:59:22

I got a pack of a body wash, a deodorant, and a "shower tool" as a Christmas gift. I still use the "tool".

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2013-03-28 02:59:56

lol "shower tool" Are you in the shower, dear? Yeah, I'm using the, uh, shower tool, honey. Is that what they're calling it now, dear?

SHOWER TOOL

FUCK YEAH

Previous Calica · 2013-03-28 03:01:11

You see, it's called a tool, and it has holes in it that look like screws or nails could go in, so it's masculine, like Tim Allen's character in Home Improvement.

lee4hmz · 2013-03-28 03:01:59

It also runs on 3-phase power and could easily tear you to shreds if you make funny faces at it.

Anonus · 2013-03-28 03:04:29

>Home Improvement

shit yeah

I'm MASCULINE

:P

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2013-03-28 03:07:19

But how clean are your *testicles,* Anonus? :D

The freudian imagery is just shameless!

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2013-03-28 03:09:17

But really I pictured a fuzzy dildo type thing, which would have been hilarious.

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2013-03-28 03:09:58

Close enough.

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2013-03-28 03:14:58

MUCH better.

glennmagusharvey · 2013-03-28 05:20:06

That would be use axe against odors.

Fossilmaiden · 2013-03-28 08:54:53

Shower tool sounds like a name for a rustproof spanner or something.

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2013-03-28 13:14:57

Or a guy that nobody likes who likes to hang out in public showers. :D

It's the massage, and the massass

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2013-03-28 23:03:19

Sephiroth is giving me a massage with his shower tool, in the shower. >:)

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2013-03-28 23:05:21

And by shower tool I mean superpowered bishounen dong. And by giving me a massage I mean we are having sex.

Imipolex G · 2013-03-28 23:06:47

Well OK but this isn't the NSFW thread

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2013-03-28 23:07:31

But that's the porn thread! This isn't porn imi; this is art.

Imipolex G · 2013-03-28 23:09:43

Tell it to the judge.

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2013-03-28 23:09:59

awwww :<

lee4hmz · 2013-03-28 23:55:54

It's full of oats and things, and probably isn't poisonous at all! (NOT A GUARANTEE)

Anonus · 2013-03-28 23:58:17

we all eat hay and oats, why be at each other's throats?

Mr. Darcy · 2013-03-29 00:03:04

Multi-Grain Cheerios, now with hay?

Justice4243 · 2013-03-29 01:40:08

glennmagusharvey · 2013-03-29 01:41:33

I'd gladly buy a pack of those pens if they were on sale.

I like the pretty colors.

Imipolex G · 2013-03-29 02:06:42

they look nice enough

Imipolex G · 2013-03-29 02:07:01

but the ink is apparently just plain ol' black.

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2013-03-29 02:08:02

I like pens that have sparkly differently colored ink :)

Fossilmaiden · 2013-03-29 05:51:09

BiC, for the woman in your life that can't spell crystal.

Previous Calica · 2013-03-29 13:17:13

It's easier to trademark misspelled words, Fossilmaiden.

LeighSabio · 2013-03-30 23:45:00

I poured muscle milk into my Special K, and it started telling me that it was a boy cereal trapped in a girl cereal's body, and that it wanted a sex change. What do I do?

You eat the cereal. Do you want the milk to spoil?

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2013-03-30 23:48:05

Suppress the gender expression of the dairy product youth, clearly. :D

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2013-03-30 23:48:55

And by "suppress the gender expression" I mean drink. :)
