When I was about 6 I went into a hotel toilet with my mother. It was a fairly posh place and they had bowls set up on the counter next to the plants. The bowls held very nicely wrapped complimentary condoms. With the sweet tooth I still have I immediately thought they were sweets and proceeded to nearly empty one of the bowls into my pocket. Later on while we were driving in the car I whip out one of my lollies and start to unwrap it excited for the free sweets I'd found. My mother nearly had a heart attack then almost died of laughter.
