I also am not smart enought to make up a fake password for candy... fool me once, shame on, uh, you, fool me twice, you can't fool me again.

How did this even make Gizmodo?! It's not exactly a scientific survey here...observe:

"If you tell me your social security # I'll give you a chocolate bar"

"Okay. 555-55-5555. Give me a chocolate bar"

Now chance "social security #" to computer password and "555-55-5555" to anything you want...ya know what...don't even change it.

I have candy in my van? Would you like some candy?

I'm having a hard time making sense of that brown thing she's licking.

Yeah, but what is that brown thing?

i'm trying to think of a way to add that lyric to that song from some guy I can't think of right now.

i dunno... he's rappin' and he says that he do anything for a blond Dyke.

CRAP can't think today forshit

God damn comment system...

They lied.
Alls fairs in love and chocolate.

"Alright. I'll tell... The password is... 1... 2.... 3.... 4... 5..."

"So your password is 12345... That's the sort of thing an idiot would put on his luggage!"

Science + Newsworthy = Absent from this article

Believing that it's the correct password is like believing the number she gave you at the bar last night is correct. Oh wait...

who needs bank records when you got chocolate! i'd slap my mother for some truffles right now.....

Maybe the women were smart enough to know that these marketers were never going to have access to their computers.

@B1663R: Kanye West, Stronger, from the album Graduation.

Well, change the lure, and you'll catch different fish. Have a Sport's Illustrated Swimsuit Issue model offer men and women something (i'm sure you can think of a thing or two) in exchange for a password, and see how those numbers flip-flop. - to rip off / paraphrase Kanye West (on the song where he ripped off / remixed Daft Punk)

She'll do anything for a Klondike.
But I'll do anything for a blond dike.

Am I the only one getting punked by the comment machine here?!

European girls are easy - on the IT security aspect that is.

That picture reminds me of 2 girls and cup.

Women are supposed to give it up on prom night? Boy did I get jipped.

@Dook_In_The_Urinal: You slept with gypsies on your prom night?

Passwords for chocolate
I for one am ashamed of you giz.... I would have rather read a second third review of psystar than read about this fillonious crapricus...

@itchytooth: @Juggrnott: she's licking a spoon that is drenched in chocolate. Enough chocolate to run down and cover her hand

@ itchytooth...
She's liking a very large, sloppy spoon. The choclate is running down her hand. Hope that helps....

Licking....notliking...well, perhaps she IS liking the choclate.

*rolls eyes @ everybody who's asking about this story's newsworthiness*

First - this isn't the New York Times. While I read this 100% more than I do the NYT, Giz isn't bound by journalistic rules and qualifications.

Second - y'all mofos STILL took the time to comment on it. You've succeeded in increasing Giz's advertising revenue.

Personally - I'd make up a fake PW. "Uh...it's shorty63136. Now gimmie my damn chocolate!"

@Curves: Are you telling me women will tell lies to get candy? I don't believe that. Let me call up that girl Jane Smith I met last night. Her number is 123-456-789. Oh crap, I missed a digit. I guess I'll have to take your word for it. :)

One girl, one spoon... I shudder at the thought.

@remps: love the bush quote... can't get fooled again. my ass!

@B1663R:
@Munch:

Or Late, also by Kanye West, but on his Late Registration album:

...like them eskimos, what would you do for a Klondike?
Or two dykes that look Christina Milian like
Hmmm, I'll be on time for that...

there are two variables: the reward and the concession.

reward: chocolate - yes women love chocolate, but so do men

concession: password - men do not like to give this out because they realize that their enemies can do harm with it, but women fail to link sharing that info and their enemies actions, or else they just don't care.

So instead of saying women like chocolate more, just say women aren't worried about passwords.

@Fierock: Don't forget authentication, of which, there is none.

@shorty63136: I wasn't criticizing Giz for splooging the post up, but Infosecurity Europe who thought they were actually conducting something interesting that proved a point.

:>

@liveinvt:
No. Those were reserved for Ring Dance.

They [research firm] probably told them that all their base are belong to us, so the women just gave up all hope and used the chocolate as a coping mechanism.

Almost looks like she has an adams apple.

@B1663R: Kanye West

Addy, put down that chocolate spoon...

@ideaman2020: @ girls one cup . . . . . .

I'd probably lie about my password depending on the chocolate.

I'd never give my real one though.

@lonewolf333: My ex-boyfriend talked about that two girls in a cup thing. Now I have a dog instead.

@Abnormal: This guy seems legit.

Why would anyway care about giving away their computer password? It's not as if they had remote access or had vaguely any idea to identify your computer.

So, it's like... hay guys, we did a completely unscientific, biased, baseless and useless research and guess what? The results are exactly what we thought (read made) to be: Chicks digs chocolate more than men!

Sounds just like the internets...

@Bokusatsu_Tenshi: The interwebz haz iz lieded tu mi? *le gasp*

Uh, how hard is it to change your password after you give it up? Most places make you change it every month anyway.

Dumb study.

I'm okay with the story, but would like to clobber the person who chose the picture. (see lonewolf's comment)
