seen in the washroom of a rural Quebec gas station A&W basement washroom

Translation for the condoms on the left:

Asiatic condoms

I have a suspicion about what they're trying to say by that, and it's racist AF.

Not sure exactly what they think their target demographic is for this washroom.

Sorry it's not really a meme, but I didn't know where else to post it, and I HAD to share.

196 or hmm would be good communities for this, quite the find lol

- Is there a hmm community? I loved the unbridled chaos of that in the bygone era.

  There is !hmmm@lemmy.world but it's not very active.

Why the hell is this in c/memes? Can't wait for the excuses on this one.

Mindless upvotes for garbage posts. Love it.

- Well wait no longer: Because Lemmy is small. posts that would have gone to a vibrant niche subreddit in Reddit, instead get posted to one of the few large communities, because the niche communities don't exist, are hard to find, or are dead.

  So a completely unrelated post belongs here because Lemmy is small?

I don't understand? I see these kind of vending machines often in gas station restrooms all the time.

- I'd expect it in a city, wouldn't have expected it way out in the middle of nowhere.
  
  Combined with the apparent casual racism directed at people who are stereotypically xenophobic, only heightened my confusion

  Where's the racism? Is it the vague Asian marketed stuff? It's a stretch I guess, of that's it.

So there is a Japanese condom brand called Kimono. They are one of the thinnest (latex) condoms in the world. The dispenser also says about thin so maybe that's it.

Though since they don't list brand, perhaps you are right, or they rely on people hearing something about it, but not knowing the brand and instead selling them some cheap chinese crap from alibaba.

- That's mostly it. Mince in french could be translated to either slim or thin in english, and I believe it's the later in that situation.

I don't think it's racist. But I'm not asian. Penis size does matter what buying condoms. On the average Asian penises are a bit smaller so the need a different size of condom. Rather than having to buy a 'small' condom they can buy an average Asian size. Most women don't mind a smaller penis when the guy attached to it know how to work it so I think it's fine.

- The advert, translated from french says "Ultra-THIN asian condom". "Mince" means thin in French (I'm from Quebec). It has nothing to do with the size of it, it's the thickness.
  
  Asian massage techniques/oils are all the rage in the sex world. Prostitution is legal in the form of "escorts" you can hire as companions, and the loop-hole is "what 2 adults do in the privacy of their home/hotel, isn't regulated by the government". This spawn "erotic massage parlors" that claim to not do any fucking but just "sensual massages" as in a commercial building that would be illegal (they still totally do).
  
  This is trying to appeal to that demographic and isn't racist; Asia is known for this stuff, at least here. Btw "Mince" and "Minced" as in Minced-meat share the same origin in latin for "smallness",, but in french does not mean that.

  And this demographic is known to get their supplies in the basement washroom of a rural gas station?

Hmm, there are four kinds of merch but three knobs. How?

7
- The way it works is if you place 2$ you get the chocolate flavored condoms, but if you instead put 2$ then you get the Asian condoms.

  Makes sense. At first I thought you have to turn your coin around.

So... No one time use "vaginas"? That's what they usually have here in Germany aside the weird condoms

You don't HAVE to share. You seem like the kind of person, that forces their beliefs in others. Not a very nice trait.

- The hypocrisy is strong in this comment.

  Would you please explain why? I did not publish a post, I commented on your misplaced one. Noone has anything against your picture. It is NOT a meme. There is a time and a place for everything. This community is not for pictures you find interesting. It is NOT your personal blog. I hope you can find a quiet minute to reflect about your content. I hope you will get calmer in the future. All the best.

Maybe a pics community? Either way I like it.

Makes me curious about everything included in the one on the right.

Could somebody translate it?

Translation for the condom on the left: ultra-THIN asiatic condom.

It's related to the thickness, not the lenght. Would be pretty fucking dumb to selll small penis condoms to non-asian people.

You don't go a get a "texas massage" (hilarious because that probably means being shot at in a shopping mall or something lol). You get a "thai" massage, which is in asia. Hence the "asian" sensual condom. Youre just daft and looking to he racist/outraged.

If they're trying to say they are small condoms then what's the issue with that? On average Asian penises are smaller. Statistics aren't exactly racist.

0
- Even if it were true that Asian penises are smaller on average, to call small penises "Asian" is racist.
  
  It's like even if white people were dumber on average, it'd be racist to call all dumb people "white".
  
  Or even if men were fatter on average, it'd be sexist to call all fat people "men".
  
  But it's not just that one. ALL of the items are bizarre for a basement washroom of a rural Quebec gas station.
