CVS actually places ping-balls in the alcohol section and by alcohol promo-endcaps. It gives me something to giggle at while I wait for my prescriptions.

[–]SellYouOnAnything 1 point2 points ago

And you may find it fascinating that a computer made this decision, not a human. Their computer analysis software tells them where to put products in relation to one another. Wal-mart is nuts about this kind of stuff.

I don't get why this is funny. Is it because chocolate is an aphrodisiac?

[–]Eustis 8 points9 points ago

Women, during menstruation, often have crazy mood swings and random cravings. I'd say a strong 80% of those cravings are for chocolate.

[–]xxxina 17 points18 points ago

This might get buried, but I used to work at Kmart as an intern. I remember one day we had to put Slim Fast out on a pallet because it was going on sale and expiring soon. We had it in one area and none were selling so I had the brilliant idea to stick it next to our mirrors. They sold fast...slim fast.

[–]Thunder_Bastard 39 points40 points ago

Actually Walmart and Sams spend millions upon millions on hiring product placement consultants just for stuff like this.

Not so much with Walmart, but if you go in a Sams from week to week you will notice a ton of merchandise gets shifted around to get people looking around parts of the store they would normally skip over.

In my marketing class we talked about a grocery store that noticed when men stop by to buy diapers in the evening they often buy beer as well. The store put diapers at the end of an aisle and beer in the front...with potato chips in between. They increased sales of all three.

[–]cavazos 0 points1 point ago

This is pure logic.

beer + potato chips = diarrhea

[–]Abdullah-Oblongata 49 points50 points ago

They need to put an ice cream freezer their also. Make sure it's stocked with chocolate and cookie dough flavors.

[–]ObviouslyNotTrolling 12 points13 points ago

WTF, Last week I had to go to 711 at 2:30 in the morning because my gf wanted chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. I heard the tone in her voice and I didn't really want to start a fight.

[–]awesomedudeguy 4 points5 points ago

That's when you jump in the car and just start driving in any one direction. By the time she wakes up the next morning, you'll be at least one state away.

[–]Trapped_in_Reddit 20 points21 points ago

Mint Chocolate Chip is the only flavor needed.

[–]trevorbrownfog 29 points30 points ago

Screw you mint chocolate chip. Chocolate peanut butter for the win.

[–]touchy610 19 points20 points ago

FUCKING STRAWBERRY. Jesus, guys. You have no taste.

[–]ServerGeek 9 points10 points ago

Your taste buds are all off.. Sherbert is where the flavor is at.

[–]touchy610 5 points6 points ago

...what kind? ಠ_ಠ

[–]newtothelyte 2 points3 points ago

The only acceptable kind of sherbert is rainbow sherbert from the gallon tub.

[–]MaidenLane 1 point2 points ago

It's only good if your mouth burns from it.

mmmm... tangy chemical burn...

[–]ServerGeek 8 points9 points ago

Lime. Fuck yeah.

[–]touchy610 10 points11 points ago

This is one of the correct answers. "Mango" and, of course, "strawberry" would also have been acceptable.

Also, sorbet. (I think the difference is that sherbet is mde with dairy and sorbet isn't). If you like fruity things, you should try the Ciao Bella prickly pear sorbet. Or the blood orange. So nommy.

[–]schmiggledeeboo 14 points15 points ago

Blood orange sorbet next to menstrual products? ...hmm.

[–]bmfa02 2 points3 points ago

the one true answer to this debate is Moose Tracks.

[–]wildo421 0 points1 point ago

Sherbert usually has condensed milk added. Watermelon makes a damn good sorbet too.

[–]cbanana 0 points1 point ago

Trader Joe's mango is literally the only sorbet I like. YUM.

God I love both of those. I don't know wether to up vote you for peanut butter chocolate ice cream, or downvote you for hating mint chocolate chip. Then I said fuck it I want ice cream. Also upvotes for everyone.

[–]cowpunter 1 point2 points ago

[–]EmptyAndFrantic 13 points14 points ago

Am I the only woman that 1) isn't incredibly fond of chocolate and 2) avoids food (especially unhealthy food) while I'm on my period?

[–]millionsofcats 6 points7 points ago

No.

[–]EmptyAndFrantic 4 points5 points ago

Good.

[–]fckingmiracles 3 points4 points ago

Nope.

Also I would actually find it disgusting to be reminded of gooey chocolate while I pick something up that manages my period blood. I mean: WTF? That is not a good association they are causing there. It would probably turn me away from these kind of products whenever I see them in the future ('Ugh, Reese's is that period chocolate brand').

I want to know how many guys are comfortable with buying tampons for their woman? My dad would never do that for my mom and my current boyfriend is the first guy I have been with that will do it for me. Is this as rare as I think it is?

[–]noticeablyfat 8 points9 points ago

I have no problem with it, and I don't know why any man would. I don't get the embarrassment over buying condoms either.

[–]voracity 0 points1 point ago

Same here. Guys that do have a problem with this probably have a confidence problem.

[–]Fartmatic 0 points1 point ago

noticeablyf.a.t, rewind the tape.

[–]millionsofcats 5 points6 points ago

Some men feel like buying ~lady things~, especially things having to do with ~lady parts~, is emasculating. Why, the very thought of the clerk knowing you're so pussy-whipped that you would do a favor for your lady, especially one that involves ~dirty lady things~? HORRIFYING.

But I don't find that's a common attitude among men with a mature attitude towards sex and gender.

[–]ObviouslyNotTrolling 3 points4 points ago

The miracle of self-checkouts, if they don't have one fuck that.

[–]Sarahmint 13 points14 points ago

Oh, man! The female redditors GET IT! I am disapointed the chocolates are cheap chocolates and not high quality like Lindt

[–]racter_redactor 9 points10 points ago

Lindt has absolutely no subtlety. When you eat it, there isn't any middle ground between bitter cocoa and tow-truck tier sweetness. Hachez 55% is where it's at.

[–]wynyx 0 points1 point ago

I like the Trader Joe's 70% (the orange one). Sweet but dark and strong.

[–]Thinks_Reddit_Is_RPG 2 points3 points ago

high quality like Lindt

[–]wildo421 -4 points-3 points ago

I'm a guy and I would almost agree to cramps if I could eat those truffles all the time.

[–]Sarahmint 8 points9 points ago

No. No, you wouldn't.

[–]MaidenMadness 7 points8 points ago

There is an interesting urban legend similar to this one.

First some background is needed. In business intelligence there is a process called Data Mining which is nothing but running some queries over large sets of data in order to find new relations between data. This is used for example on information from receipts to learn that there is a chance that a customer that buys an item X is also likely to buy an item Y.

Anyways the story goes that whilst doing data mining process on the data from the POS receipts one of the uncovered correlations stood out because it was unexpected. It said that on Friday afternoon males in their late 20ties were likely to buy diapers and beer. They thought about it and came to conclusion that these were young fathers whose partying days on Fridays have taken a blow with the arrival of a baby and now they're stopping at a store on their way home from work to buy some diapers. When they arrive there and take the diapers they think to themselves oh well it's Friday and as long as I'm here I might as well take some beers too. The story goes that the store utilized that knowledge by moving the diapers right next to the beer and apparently that somewhat boosted their sales.

The story is probably almost 100% false mind you, but it's still interesting I think.

[–]StreetPasserby 6 points7 points ago

While that particular story may be 100% false, data mining customer purchasing habits to send them specific ads and offers is already happening with some unexpected results.

Here's a story from a couple month ago where Target was using it's data to "help" its customers by sending them coupons directly related to their spending habits and how it can go wrong when they get it too right.

EDIT: Found the original article.

[–]Intuit302 11 points12 points ago

At first I was like, "really? Mixing Resses and Hershey's is a big deal?"

Then, "ooooh, they are on to something..."

They need to do it with Dove Chocolate, though...

[–]mattindustries 4 points5 points ago

Dove chocolate is pretty great.

[–]reddit_hates_freedom 4 points5 points ago

Dove chocolate is shit-tier, but it's near the top of the shit heap.

[–]fzerg 8 points9 points ago

That just made me think of this.

[–]sumojoe 3 points4 points ago

I keep telling people at my store that we should be putting condoms in the liquor aisle, but no one ever listens to me.

[–]cake-for-breakfast 2 points3 points ago

They need pain relief pills and alcohol next to that, too. You're not supposed to take medicine like that, but tell that to a lady during that time.

[–]iaintcranky 2 points3 points ago

HAHA...no seriously...when it's my time of the month I prefer expensive tasty treats(I get really moody and whiny sadly)...these are not my thing. Hot tea, a nice box of chocolates, a heating pad...and lots and lots of advil :*(

[–]sittty 2 points3 points ago

of course! use candy as tampon!

[–]b-random 8 points9 points ago

Actually this makes sense, women lose a lot of iron during menstruation which is why they crave chocolate so much during it. It rehabilitates the iron deficiency by eating chocolate. Plus bitches love chocolate.

[–]LegHiccup 1 point2 points ago

Don't use logic to justify my needs!

Oh wait

[–]ChaosChaser 4 points5 points ago

No, thank you, Walmart. I prefer Pepperidge farm cookies with my period.

[–]HardCorey23 3 points4 points ago

My first thought was putting Reese's and Hershey together would be great. I am not a clever man.

[–]44problems 2 points3 points ago

Hey did you hear about beer and diap... oh wait it's been posted in this thread 5 times somehow.

[–]cincy_rob 1 point2 points ago

They usually slot a stack of cheap beer somewhat near the diapers too. It's marvelous.

[–]r3coil 1 point2 points ago

A famous example of this was the correlation between diaper purchases and beer. You wouldn't normally associate these two items but it was discovered that new parents tend to stay in more on the weekends and will buy beer to drink at home rather than going out. Walmart responded by placing diapers and beer next to each other.

This kind of data mining is used heavily by Walmart to increase pairs of sales when correlations are discovered through the analysis of sales receipts.

[–]CigaretteJuice 1 point2 points ago

this is a great product rep for Hershey's

[–]toppup 1 point2 points ago

I wish they would put the dog food nearby too! Not that I only feed my dog when I'm on my period, but I find that's when I need more of his food... for him, not me.

[–]will_upvote_anything 1 point2 points ago

Me and my dirty mind : until I googled Hershey's I assumed it was some brand of hardcode lubricant or something… well, i was wrong

[–]Athenadis 1 point2 points ago

OP hasn't had periods, doesn't understand that nausea & cramps + cheap chocolate = keeling over a toilet

[–]BowlerNerd 0 points1 point ago

Something about it does seem off.

[–]tamazin 1 point2 points ago

I once bought tampons, chocolate ice cream, and midol together without realizing how it looked. The cashier laughed and pointed it out. Sure, it's funny now...and I'm sure once everything scabs over, the cashier will be able to look back and laugh as well.

[–]dasredditnoob 1 point2 points ago

Pure Hershey's? FALSE. I see Reese's mixed in.

I'd never bought into the period/chocolate thing--PMS is a social construct and the whole OM NOM NOM I CAN'T KEEP MYSELF FROM BEING A BITCH WITHOUT A KIT KAT OM NOM NOM thing never carried much water in my household, so the chocolate thing always seemed weirdly over-the-top and unnecessary.

That being said--the last time I started my period, I caused two fights with my brother and sister-in-law on purpose. That same day, my mom handed me a piece of dark chocolate orange pecan bark, walked out of the room, and came back to me staring down the hallway into nothingness while I gnawed on the piece of chocolate like an especially determined hamster in sweatpants. She said I looked sedated, so she just left me alone.

tl;dr when society marginalizes your legitimate issues by dismissing you as hormonal, at least you get candy out of it

[–]millionsofcats 2 points3 points ago

Women are affected to different extents by their period. And how people interpret their behavior while they're on their period depends a lot on their own preconceptions ...

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Yes, and I also think that she is amazing and able to hold it in. I can always tell how tense she is, so I just give her a lot of backrubs and treat her like a princess. That's probably why, I know a lot of girls just want attention when it happens.

There is a word for these kind of sales strategies... I just cant for the life of me remember it. I learned about it in some random business class. They used an example of putting beer and diapers right by each other, because young men (especially on Fridays) come in and pick up beer for the weekend, and they also have to pick up diapers for their children. Idk... kinda weird but it does make sense in a way.

I think it's a subliminal message: When's she's on her period, Always use the Hershey highway.

Walmart figured out women like chocolate? Such a revelation must have taken many years of research.

Also, why are cereal and milk not next to each other?

[–]AREYOUSauRuS 10 points11 points ago

because neither are impulse buys.... you put impulse buys near stuff that reaches the same demographic.

It's not an impulse sure, but it makes sense.

It makes sense, but someone who needs milk and cereal would go straight there, grab them and leave. Makes sense to the consumer. But Wal-Mart doesn't want that. They want you to have to go to the milk aisle, then go across the store to the cereal aisle so you pass more products and possibly pick up other items.

You may also notice that every couple months you goto Wal-Mart and shit has moved around for no apparent reason. The reason is they don't want you to know exactly where to grab for your item. So you have to look around and see the other items you don't normally buy.

I use to be an overnight stocker for wal-mart, we did the moving around of shit for no reason.

In my marketing class we heard an example of beers and diapers being placed together... dads being sent on store runs!

Pretty cool what Walmart and other department/grocery stores do with consumer data patterns and how to place products...

Most expensive/sugary cereals in the cereal aisle? Placed child eye level height.
