Asked by robmandu (21331points) August 26th, 2010

Was at the Wal-Mart and dude bought the following items:

1. bungee cords
2. batteries
3. Jello
4. Halls Metho-Lyptus drops
5. box of condoms
6. socks

How about you? What’s a weird combo you’ve witnessed, or better yet, purchased yourself?

Once I bought booze, chocolate syrup, and several disposable cameras. I rather enjoyed the look on the cashier’s face.

I saw a guy in front of me in line purchase condoms, frying pan, grenade paperweight, gum, and nerf darts.

A little odd I suppose

The purchase at Wal-Mart makes perfect sense to me. Despite a sore throat, he doesn’t intend to pass up a long weekend in the mountains, which promises lots of sex involving bungee cords in the place of handcuffs and much smearing of jello. He and his date will be staying in a cabin and it’s going to be cold, so he plans to wear socks to bed. Oh, and just in case he can’t satisfy his lady friend, he’s bringing batteries for her, uh, bedroom aid. As for the bungee cord,

@chyna I would imagine not, but hey who knows? No i’m afraid I was passing a whimsy that’s all. Just a little joke you see…..okay a very little joke then :¬)

chyna's avatar

Cute joke. I took it as one anyway.

Back in the day. We had a package store that sold guns as well.

They had a sign outside that said:

BEER
GUNS

1. Batteries.
2. Condoms.
3. Men’s shorts.

The cashier was an older man who took one look at the lot and shoved the condoms under the shorts. :)

I recently saw a guy at the register with at least fifteen 2-liter bottles of soda, and a bag of organic salad mix.

I have to admit that I am guilty of buying novelty lubricant and canned cat food in the same trip.

Blackberry's avatar

I feel more wierd buying lube than condoms. Everyone uses condoms, but if someone sees you buy lube…...They know some freaky stuff is going down…..

Hawaii_Jake's avatar

Condoms
a cucumber
lube
kitty litter

I bought a brick of Remington .22 ammunition that had special Christmas shrink wrapping on it that said, “Seasons Greetings!” It was ammo for crying out loud!

Baby food for my children when they were infants. You know, those that come in small Heinz jars, along with a box of spermicidal lubricated condoms and a tin of Kiwi Shoe Polish for my black leather men’s dress shoes! The shoe polish seemed pretty innocuous to the young fellow at the cash register, but when he put the baby food and condoms in the bag, I noticed a slight grin on his gawky face. He must have been thinking “Gee, mister, had enough of the baby thing already??” The real funny thing is that my wife and I “inadvertently” had another child in less than a year after that! (Sigh.)
