When I was little I remember going to a public toilet with my dad and asking what the vending machine on the wall sold. He said "Err...chewing gum". I was so upset that he wouldn't buy me a packet, so many nice flavours, strawberry, banana, chocolate. It was only a few years later that I found out lolipops would perhaps have been a better description for them!
Yes, flavoured condoms!
