Sexing the salad

Postby Big Vern » Sun Apr 15, 2012 20:35

7-11 offer different salads for men and for women. I have a few questions about this that my fellow gastronauts may be able to answer.

What exactly constitutes a masculine salad as opposed to a feminine one? Do they have an ubermensch version for particularly masculine chaps (I'm thinking about some of the gun-totin' anti PC two fisted whisky drinkin' no nonsense hate teachers definitely straight type blokes)? Could there be any side-effects from consuming the wrong salad? Why isn't there a transgender option?

Just some thoughts you might want to toss around.

I hope not, since I always get the man salad! (I hate the seaweed in the woman salad and like the nuts/dried fruit in the man). I think it's pretty ridiculous, but the main difference I see is that the woman salad has fewer calories and has seaweed (maybe that's supposed to be good for women? :idunno: ), while the man salad has more protein (via the nuts). Since of course women are always dieting and eating protein leads to muscles (the horror!).

Your other question is clearly a trick, since ubermensch types don't eat salad. But the most masculine salad would definitely have to have steak involved :ponder: .

This is very interesting. So, Taiwanese chaps prefer some fruity nuts in their mouth while the ladies prefer a taste of the sea. Reminds me of Rome:
