I got some free samples of a new gum called Ice Breakers. Decent gum. Nothing special. Visiting their website is a trip cause they try to market it as some kind of friggin extreme sport or something. "UNLEASH YOURSELF!" says the website. Um, no thanks, I JUST WANT TO CHEW SOME GUM, not bungee jump off a bridge doing a snowboarding backflip while listening to thrash music and holding a pair of pointy scissors.

But there's one thing particularly odd about these free samples. They are in a package that looks exactly like a condom package. Of course I'm too dense to notice this myself...a friend pointed it out to me.

What's next? Condoms in packages that look like sticks of gum? Candy bars that look like....well, you get the picture.
