I remeber that scene. When they were ripping it off of the wall my then-girlfriend leaned over and whispered, “What’s in it?” It wasn’t obvious if you didn’t recognize the machine.
“Condoms,” I shot back. “Don’t they have those in ladies’ rooms?”
“No, just tampons and I didn’t see what use those would be.”
Same planet, different worlds.
Did the sign say they were half off?
American Pie has the boys buying condoms, and Jim’s father discovering one unraveled (but unused) while giving him a sex talk. Later, band geek Michelle (this one time at band camp…) makes Jim wear two condoms when they have sex so as to numb the sensation.
I don’t remember if they showed any of them, but in Pretty Woman, Julia Roberts is showing a bunch of different condoms to Richard Gere, for him to choose from.
Or, as Richard puts it, “A buffet of safety.”
