I used to believe that condom machine dispener in restroom at gas station was candy machine that dispenses special rubber candy called "Durex". I brought one and put the red, cherry flavored condom in my mouth. It tasted so good and I chewed for a bit then swallowed it. Years later after I learned what condoms are, I was in a shock that I ate one!
