Scottish men 'buy larger condoms'

Published Date: 02 September 2009
SCOTTISH men buy larger condoms than their counterparts south of the border. Supermarket giant Tesco today reported that more of its extra-large condoms had been bought in Glasgow than anywhere else in the UK.

The new condoms – 10mm longer and 1mm wider than the standard version – went on sale at Tesco earlier this month.

And the retailer's sales map of its new condom – the first to be sold in the UK – showed most were sold in Glasgow.

Edinburgh saw the seventh-highest sale figures in the UK, beating Sandhurst, Hatfield and Chester in a top 10 league....

2. 10mm longer and 1mm wider?

Sounds like a marketing gimmick to me.

That increase in size seems more like the difference between a great date vs. a good date.

3. That's thinking with your dipstick, Jimmy!

4. They might buy bigger condoms, but that doesn't mean they need them.

Have you ever seen how big a normal condom will stretch to? Think two liter bottle. If you need bigger than that, you aren't having sex with anything human.

"I guess it's true what they say about those Glaswegian men..." :rofl:

5. Are the kilts responsible? If so I may need to buy a couple...

6. Maybe the sporrans? At least the ones with claws.

Or they use them as rain slickers for the haggis? :rofl:

The Scots have taken the idea of competition with the English to a whole new level.

7. In related news, Glasgow's unplanned pregnancy rate soars due to ill-fitting prophylactics.

8. Uh, really?

1mm wider?

10mm longer?

What's the point?

[theHandpuppet]

9. That the Scots will go to any "lengths" to perpetuate a competition

;-)

I actually thought it was a hoot that this made the headlines in the Scottish papers. You'd think they finally got revenge for Flodden. LOL!

10. Oh, I'm emailing this to Craig Ferguson

I bet he'll have something interesting to say about it...

11. Knowing Scots, being friends with some I have heard many jokes pertaining to this but

it is actually the opposite side of the spectrum as far as size goes...and they still take it in stride like it's no big deal...and it really isn't .....a big deal, that is.....

12. They buy large condoms, put them on their feet. Keeps the dampness out -

kind of like wearing rubber boots, but no one notices.

13. they like to wear them baggy

:hide:

[omega minimo]

14. Nah, they're using 'em ta form the Haggis!

:toast:

And the Scots, like some others, know, it ain't the meat, it's the motion. :evilgrin:

15. "Scottish men 'buy larger condoms'"......

....only to watch them fall off at an inappropriate moment!

Interesting also to note that they sold well in Sandhurst. Squaddies and their fantasies eh?
