The Man Isle.

Post by Gob »

Beleaguered men will no longer have to drag their feet up and down the florescent halls of the supermarket to score their beef jerky and condoms, there's now an aisle dedicated to the needs of every dude.

Manhattan's Westside Market has introduced their first-ever 'Man Isle,' stocked with bro basics like chips, razors, charcoal and hot sauce.

Ian Joskowitz, the Chief Operating Officer of the supermarket, said he was inspired to create a space for guys after learning that men are taking to the supermarket more now than ever before.

'Generally, the supermarket is set up for women and families,' Mr Joskowitz said to the MailOnline.

However, he said he read an article in ESPN about a new trend of men shopping for the family.

According to the article, men's grocery shopping for their families is up to 31 per cent compared to 14 per cent in the 80s or 90s.


'So we thought, what can we do to tailor a section for men?' he said.

Mr Joskowitz rounded up some of his buddies to make lists of a few of their favorite things to see if they could agree on the essential guy goodies.

'Our lists were identical,' he said. 'Down to the brands of cereal.'

I would've called it 'The Aisle of Man' but otherwise I'm all for it!
Why is it that when Miley Cyrus gets naked and licks a hammer it's 'art' and 'edgy' but when I do it I'm 'drunk' and 'banned from the hardware store'?

They would have, but then they would have had to allow you to ride motorcycles around it.
