More Than Ever, Men Trolling The Aisles For The Bacon BrandweekAlmost one-third of men are now the principal shoppers in the household, and marketers need to better understand how to reach them, writes Peter Leimbach, who, as vp of multimedia sales research at ESPN, might have a vested interest in the testosteronization of the shopping aisles.

The channels with the greatest relative importance to men include convenience/gas outlets, warehouse clubs and grocery stores, according to Nielsen data, and men are substantially increasing their average dollar basket size across all of them. Spending in grocery alone has increased a whopping 56% over five years.

Furthermore, more than half of the items men buy indicate that they are not just shopping for themselves. Examples include canned seafood (61%), herbal packaged tea (57%); health bars & sticks (54%) and refrigerated yogurt and shakes (52%). Can't wait to hear about Bifidus Regularis between innings of "Sunday Night Baseball."

"While Burger King isn't new to edgy ads, the pattern of offense, advertising retractions and free media has become predictable, and more frequent," Bryson York and Parekh write. BK has repeatedly denied that its edgy U.S. agency, Crispin Porter & Bogusky, is behind the strategy -- or that creating offensive ads is a "strategy" at all.

The Chicago Tribune, meanwhile, confirms a Reuters report that BK has asked franchisees to vote on the idea of dropping the price of a double cheeseburger to $1 -- about half of what it now costs in most markets. It would be a bold gambit, reports Mike Hughlett, that would, in the words of one franchisee, "raise some eyebrows.
