“A woman detained during the bust told police that the used prophylactics were first boiled in water then dried and reshaped on a wooden phallus before being repackaged and resold.

VTV said it was not clear how many of the recycled condoms had already been sold. The detained woman said she had received $0.17 for every kilogramme of recycled condoms she produced.”

Boiled for safety

A kilogram of condoms seems like a lot.

"monthly input of used condoms from an unknown person" I like the use of input instead of delivery. And this guy fucks.

We all have to do our part to recycle and help Mother Earth. Kudos to her.

[hatchgreenchile]

Pst, the real money is in the full size rubbers

[SKIP IN7RO]

She should have negotiated her pay based on the pre-recycled weight.

Laotian & Vietnamese local brand condoms were thick, stiff, rubber that ruined sex for both participants ime.

Yeah but what about once they’ve been stretched and soaked and then boiled and restretched?

Reduce, reuse, recycle.

This is all making sense now.

Some years ago while visiting the seaside town of Phan Thiet we ordered the Vietnamese sweet and sour soup with squid. It came in a large bowl and while the broth was decadent, I thought the squid was exceedingly chewy. Curious, I asked where the squid came from. The owner just smiled and said in broken English, "house specialty."

Man, I can't wait to travel again.

Who's to say they weren't?

I wasn’t really upset when I found out she had a dick, but this condom situation, THIS is over the line!

[Dave Minion]

maybe these were the pick-up guys...

that it’s still true after that has been running through my head, believe me

[stuckathuntermtn]

Kilogramme, not kilogram? So that's, like, a metric kilogram?

no, it’s a box of stinky used condoms delivered to your door by a singing stripping slut on a bicycle

I bet it has. Boiling seems more likely to toughen than tenderize. Vibes!
