When I used to live in Chicago, after an evening of hitting some of the local watering holes, we would head to the Jewel-Osco for a little game we called “Three-Item Challenge.”
The idea: Pick three common grocery store items that, while non-threatening individually, would prove highly embarrassing/questionable to purchase together. You’d then dare another person to purchase the items.
The bet was typically $10, plus the cost of the items.
An example: Pregnancy test, fifth of vodka, and a rose
not that i’ve got any particular expertise in this area, mind you, but…
isn’t petroleum jelly supposed to be, well, bad for condoms? i thought it did things to their base materials that shortened lifespan/reduced overall effectiveness.

ummm, OP… best i could come up with is bodice-ripper-type paperback, big box of chocolates, and batteries. (the book alone does it for me.)
Actual purchase I made a few days ago: several cases of little 4oz glass canning jars and a case of 12-gauge shotshells (birdshot). For completely different purposes, of course — my mom makes candles in the jelly jars, and we’d used up all our shotshells at the range awhile ago, but I thought it was funny.
And yeah, the guy behind us in line had several boxes of condoms, a big package of KY Jelly, and a big tub o’ Vaseline. :eek:
