Crazy Asian Condoms
08/27/2009


Here in the US, buying condoms is boring. Mostly plain, single color boxes, with some text. Almost like they're trying to blend in, so you don't draw too much attention to what you're buying.

Over in Asia? Different story.

Condom box design there is an art form. No subtlety here. Whatever they can do to stand out they're doing it.

Like using Anime art. Pictures of sports stars (without permission). And even animals.

Take the three pictured above. You Scorpios can wrap your stinger in a love glove designed to appeal specifically to horny astrology fans. (Today is a 9. You will meet a strange woman, and have sex with her.)

I have no idea how orange juice relates to condom use, but these jimmy hats come in a miniature juice container, complete with warning label: "Unnecessary to refrigerate. Keep in a dry place. Keep out of reach of children. Do not drink." Listen, if you need to be reminded not to refrigerate or drink condoms... chances are you're not going to find someone to agree to have sex with you anyway.

And then there's the "Super Big Boy". With a horse on the box. I don't think it's possible to be less subtle. Not sure if these actually are larger (insert joke about asians not needing large condoms here), or if they are just so you can walk around the store carrying them, and nodding to female shoppers...

There are a dozen or so other funny ones you can see here. I've gotta go take my condoms out of the refrigerator.
