I was just wondering. My wife gives me a hard time. I love Cliff Bars but I really love the Pecan Pie Luna Bar. Eat 4-6 a week. I hope I will not grow boobs by eating them. Any other guys eat them or should I stay away because they are for women?
Boobs? No, you will not grow boobs (god knows if you did you would never leave home). However if you eat womens power bars this may happen
i used to eat lots of them back when i was a bar eater. seemed pretty dumb to me to market a great tasting bar to only 51% of population, especially when the plain clif bar looks like a turd and doesnt taste much better. No man teets yet but i do shave my legs and wear a lot of lycra…
I admit it. I eat em. Lots of them. They taste good.
Marketing bars to genders is a bit like the bike companies marketing “women’s specific” geometries. . .Its some jackass marketing guy driving the development guy. . .Eat a Luna bar if you want. . .I like the lemon zest bar, myself. Its fucking food for chrissake. . .not hormones.
This is such an example of condescending, insulting marketing to women. Like “Women’s Specific” this and “Women’s Specific” that.
Some of these products are valid and innovative and are optimized for the differences in the way males and females may use or need equipment.
Most are marketing crap. Where is my “Men’s specific” energy bar?
You can’t have a mens only bar! That would be Politically Incorrect and all of the womenists would attack.
See See That is exactly what I am afraid of!!! LOL
Are they good? My wife gets them, but then hordes them away somewhere never to be seen again. I will have to hunt them down and eat one.
Da bum
I agree. I was just kidding about being scared to eat womens bars. I know it is not hormones. I freaking agree. From drinks to bars and socks there seems to be a edge to everything. It makes you wonder how we all got along without gender specific products, bars, water etc in the past!
**Where is my “Men’s specific” energy bar? **
This reminds me of when I was a kid, and after Mother’s Day I’d ask my mom, “When’s Kid’s Day?” She’d look at me, and say, “*Everyday *is Kid’s Day.”
I can’t prove it, but my guess is that most bars are formulated for men. Whether or not there’s a difference, I’m not sure, but it wouldn’t surprise me if women have somewhat different nutritional requirements than men. I think one of the tri mags had an article on this very subject last month. Not being a women, I didn’t read it.
As for Luna bars, they look just as gross as Clif bars. Blech.
Excuse me. That’s womynists, thank you very much. There is no ‘man’ in these womyn!
This reminds me of a discussion I was having with someone about “Black history month”. He was moaning on and on about why we don’t need an entire month devoted to black history and said “Where’s WHITE history month?”. I said back to him “ummm…they’re the other 11 moron”
There’s a reason she’s been hoarding them. . .they’re a lot better than most of the other choices out there, in terms of taste. . .if the nutrition numbers meet my specific needs. . .hell, I’d eat dog bones if they worked well for me. F**k the marketing gurus. . .
I think the big difference, other than tasting better, is that Luna has less calories. most are about 150 vs. 220 or so for “men’s” bars
Is a tight TYR singlet a “Men’s specific bra!!!”
I say screw the marketing departments who are allowed to run roughshod over the designers. . .
“You want me to put a carbon WHAT??? Where???. . .Uh, that won’t work. It doesn’t work that way. . .”
"Whaddaya mean it won’t work? It looks too cool not to work. Make it fucking work. That’s what we pay you for you weasel! Anyway. . .who cares, those poor customer schmo’s are so carbon blinded you could put it in an energy drink as the latest performance enhancing magic tonic and make billions. . .just make the fucking thing. . .leave the $ making to me you schmuck.
“Uh. . .what about when the first one fails and the lawyers come?”
“Well, dummy, we’ll have made our $ and run by the time that ever came up. . .”
“We’d run? Would I still have a job?”
“You’ve got connections, don’t you? I’m sure you’ll be ok”
“Oh. . .uh. . .”
“Are you still here? Where is my B-2 Carbonico Alero frame already. . .???”
Yes, I’m extremely cynical today. . .
Please forgive my heinous over sight

That’s actually kind of silly when you think about it from a parity/non-discrimination point of view. My company has Black History Month, Asian Heritage Month, Latin American Appreciation Month, and yes, Rainbow PRIDE Month.
But we do not have Italian Heritage Month or Irish Heritage Month. There is no Polish Appreciation Month, or Russian History Month. Come to think of it, there is no Indian Heritage Month either(unless that’s covered by the Asian Heritage Month, but there was no curry at last year’s celebration.) So if the idea is to promote a fair understanding of people of different color and background, they are ignoring many of the people whose families have only recently joined the American people, and for whom cultural background is very important.
So after we feel these groups have been sufficiently integrated into American society/culture, will we stop celebrating their heritage too?
(As usual, this post is about half serious and half joking, so take it with a grain of salt.)
Well, You have assured that this thread will hit at least 100 posts 
Let the discrimination thread begin.
Yeah, I know, I’m cracked. I try to get out, but I drag me back in…
