Sex Ed, Royan-Style

I have to admit that I think this pharmacy vending machine is pretty cool.  For all your middle-of-the night needs!  Including condoms, as shown below:



I especially liked that right underneath the row o'condoms?  Two full rows of baby supplies, including formula that runs 15 euros a can:


Think of it as a sales pitch.  A nice gentle reminder of what you could be buying in the middle of the night if you cheap out on the condoms....

    1. Thank you! I couldn't believe my eyes. My first thought, as somebody who has had four infants in a five-year time period, was "OMG SO CONVENIENT!" (And also? For some reason those cans of formula, which are the same brand we use for A-WOWW, are two euros cheaper from the vending machine than they are at the grocery store. If I'd had money that day I would have stocked up.)

      Aaand then I saw the condoms.

  2. They should have these vending machines in high schools. Welcome to the real world, kids!

    1. Way way way more effective than that 10th-grade-health-class "carry an egg around for a week" Life Lesson. I think it should be combined with a personal finance/math class. Something like, if you have a $10/hour job and your pay after taxes is $7/hour, how many months after you start paying for formula and diapers will you meet your first repo man?
