    Does BK still say “Have it your way”?

    Or M&Ms “Melt in your mouth, not in your hand.”

      Wait. That was M&Ms real slogan? Well now the little laugh from 50 Cent when he says that line in Candy Shop makes a lot more fuckin sense.

        Yep, that’s the post WWII slogan. They were originally made to withstand shipping through army supply lines to resist melting

      Cultural differences always trip me. I spent most of my middle/high school years in the Caribbean and the attitude among guys was that the first orgasm didn’t count and was in fact just the start of the session. There was almost a hurry to “pop” the first one so the real fun could begin.

      EDIT: It looks like I misunderstood the comment. Derp.

        I think he was saying that if the condom pops the fun stops. Presumably because then you’re worried about STDs, pregnancy, and so on.

        But yes, it is funny that the American sex stereotype of men is that that they finish once, quickly, and are then done. Being in more sex positive spaces, the attitude is closer to “orgasms are nice but not the whole point.”

          Oooohhh, yeah. A popped condom would definitely stop the fun. That make more sense than how I read it.

    Actually, the Monster Energy one is real, I got one exactly like the one in the picture when I was 17 at a skateboarding competition and carried it in my wallet for like 3 years before throwing it away because it expired

      Protip for anybody who carries condoms:

      The typical condom should ideally be kept for less than an hour in your wallet, pocket, or purse.

      Condoms that are constantly moved or rubbed against each other can cause wear and tear, making them less effective. Extreme heat (around 104°F/40°C) can cause latex to become weak and sticky.

      Not sure on the accuracy but it’s been good advice since at least the 90’s to not use a condom that has been kept in a wallet for more than a day.

        Yeah, there was no real chance of using it, it just looked cool in there

    It would be great marketing for every company to give out free condoms and there may be less unplanned pregnancies. Some people would shit themselves if they saw that though

    The monster one is real, I used to be a collegiate rep for them and they gave me a ton of condoms to give out (along with the drinks naturally). I’ll see if I can’t find some old photos of them.
