Yorkie Bar Unwrapping And Taste Test Review

Good old fashioned offensive marketing!
How can you go wrong?

Packaging

The main focal point is the massive Anti-Woman sign slapped on the cover. To it's credit, it does draw your attention quite well. That's one thing I have no problem applauding the Yorkie folks for, the bold packaging. Seeing how the accepted packaging will no doubt ruffle some feathers, I can't help but wonder what the rejected designs looked like. I'm guessing it involved lynching or setting the young lady on fire. Who knows, we might see a Chili flavored Yorkie coming out soon with that exact design! There's no way I'd ever buy it though, mannequins scare the Kinder out of me. Anytime I go to a department store and see a row of them staring blankly into a crowd of shoppers, my heart just races. I don't care what anybody says, I've seen enough horror movies to know that those things are alive. It's like that story of the little gnomes who would come to life at night and cobble people's shoes. What mannequins do in the darkness is shrouded in mystery. Let's say you're locked in a Sears or a Macy's for a night. The doors are sealed shut with bulletproof aluminum shutters and the lights are all on. There's no cameras so nobody will know you're there. First, I'd go to the perfume counter and see what would happens if you combine all the colognes together. I've been working on a theory that it'll create a pot of rainbows and I'm eager to see if that hypothesis comes true. Then, I'd move on to the sporting goods section. My goal here would be to recreate the kayaking scene in Harold And Kumar Go To White Castle but replace the potato crisps with a line of women's activewear. For those who aren't familiar with the movie, a group of EXTREME gentlemen walk into a convenience store and trash it to kingdom come. The store owner (Helpless at the time), watches as one of these individuals takes a massive kayak and proceeds to raft over a rack of prepackaged chips. All of this is done in slow motion. Fortunately, in my version nobody's has to watch in horror as 10 dozen bags of Doritos are obliterated by my mighty paddle stroke. Though I can't imagine the janitor would be too pleased by the wreckage. Finally, to top off the evening, I would raid the shoe aisle and try to grind the long escalator rail a la Tony Hawk Pro Skater. Anybody whose seen an escalator rail in a department store knows that they're MASSIVE. Don't worry though, as a precautionary measure I'll line the entire perimeter with fully inflated air mattresses. Man, this is starting to sound like one heck of a night in.

I wonder what time J.C Penny closes...


Taste, Texture, And Consistency

As much as it pains me to say it, this bar is a knock out when it comes to taste. The chocolate is delightfully creamy and leaves you with your knees wobbling. It almost makes up for the atrocity that is the packaging! Strangely, when I first picked up this bar I was expecting it to be full of raisins. I'm not too sure why as nobody had ever told me it had any. Come to think of it, I barely knew anything about the Yorkie bar until a few weeks ago. All things considered, it's a very tasty bar that everybody should try at least once. As long as they're not an overly sensitive nancy boy like me!

Overall
Horribly discriminatory but deviously delicious. The Yorkie bar treads that fine line between a great tasting product and abhorrent taste in marketing. I'd say pick one up, if you daaaaaaare!

It's not for girls, because girls can't handle the taste man-like taste, unlike men. It's very stereotypical toward girls, but they can eat it. Anyway, it does taste pretty ordinary.

@HotTopGaming

Clearly. :p

Ok, you want the Yorkie history? In the 60s or 70s Yorkie was introduced and was the first British chocolate aimed at the male market. The old ads used to show truckers eating them. Was deemed sexist. But chocolate ads are usually still focused at women. Anyway it's postmodern. Ironic. Chocolate can be topical. Ooh, have you eaten a Topic bar?

[frickfrock999]

@werdlederdle

I've never heard of Topic Bar! Thanks for the rundown though :)

[clearlogicify]

Can you please give a smell test before the taste test?

Flakes and whispers have a fantastically sweet smell in particular. Hershey's has that weak but bitter smell.

Also, do you refrigerate the chocolate before eating or eat at room temps? I always enjoy chocolate more when chilled.

[frickfrock999]

@clearlogicify

Depends on the chocolate, but usually I'll stick with room temp.

I don't like waiting for it to soften!

[MrValdee]

Looks delicious :D must taste that way too :) but the best thing in all of these videos are when you bite the candy and point it at camera half-bited and say "mmhmmm" :D

good review again, keep them coming :DD

[frickfrock999]

@MrValdee

This bar was definitely 'Mmmmm" worthy :D

[Nintendogs1213]

Awwww @frickfrock999 your so sweet :)

[AmazingVideos111]

this is a british candy/chocolate bar. its a normal chocolate bar but for a joke they made a funny version for a couple of months. it must of been popular because they continued with it for a long time. theres a pink version of this for ladies actually.

[actresstobe1408]

[actresstobe1408]

but we all know its a man wearing a dress carrying a handbag

[bradasstv]

haha, yeah, I did this one a few weeks back with my buddy Roby... We had a similar reaction to the "not for girls" thing, lol. I gave it a thumbs up for the chocolate, but as for the bar itself, I was pretty disappointed it was just a big hunk of chocolate ;)

[deathnotemewmew]

I am a girl and I love yorkie bars!! I don't care what the packaging says. Your mine yorkies!!!

[pigsbum53]

@frickfrock999 topic bar has a bit of coconut taste in it. i used to hate the taste but after i got older, i really like the taste now lol

American people do not get British Humor at all. The 'It's not for girls' slogan has been used for the past 6-7 years. They released a special limited edition Yorkie in a pink wrapper and it had the slogan 'It's not for boys' printed on the side. The picture was changed to a male with a cross through.
