When I was younger (probably 7 or 8) we didn't know what condoms were. So when my friends and I found a couple used ones in the alley behind their house, we took them.
I vividly recall my friend blowing one of them up like a balloon. We also stretched another one over a pop bottle.
I was disgusted when I learned what a condom was a few years later.
