Last week, the internet was abuzz with the rumor that Doritos was coming out with a version of its chips marketed towards women. The so-called “Lady Doritos” would have less cheese dust, keeping hands clean, and would be less crunchy so ladies could eat them without being self-conscious about the sound. PepsiCo, owner of Doritos, denied the story, but that didn’t stop it from going viral and generating endless slams and jokes about how patronizing the idea was. However, Doritos got a lot of free publicity from the ordeal, so as a student of marketing, I decided to come up with some ideas and mockups of lady-minded snacks for other brands to cash in on, free of charge.
