Default Yorkie Bars - Should they be boycotted while Nestle bars females from them

It has been a while now since Nestle introduced it's sexist campaign banning females from their product with their "It's not for Girls" slogan.

When they introduced this, Liverpool City council had to ban people working for Nestle who had been distributing free samples, only to men.

Even a director at the time seemed to indicate they did not want females touching their product, saying they should switch to other products.

Ever since their campaign I have boycotted this chocolate bar, which I used to love eating.

I have written to Nestle and all I got was a form letter

I have even joined this group on Facebook

So how can we get Nestle to change it's campaign and allow women to enjoy this product.

It is interesting to note that while McDonalds in 2006 bought into this sexist campaign with it's Yorkie McFlurry. In the 2009 Yorkie McFlurry, the "It's not for Girls" is absent
