No matter what time of day you can get them out of a machine in France. I have never seen a potato machine before today  If you click the picture they get bigger.   |

But can you get bigger condoms for bigger potatoes? How about the multicultural and racist implications of such machines, for example. Are all the condoms white? Are they halal…..? etcetc😂

There has been one for more than 5 years at the end of my terrace, the agriculteur wanted to site it on my car park saying it would bring me customers  , after chatting to him it became apparent that he had been brainwashed/seduced by the sellers of these distributeurs and he was signing up for tens of thousands of pounds over decades, there was no point trying to dissuade him, he was going to be Billy big Spuds with a worldwide empire of machines and a multi-millionaire within a year 
The machine was installed on a neighbours car park, a new electric supply ran, it looks garish and tacky like over the top Xmas lights, the price of spuds per kg would buy you fois gras and champagne, I only ever saw one person actually buying any, he stopped refilling it after a month & it now has potato plants groing out of every seam, strangely the electric is still connected, it will probably remain there for decades.
The sellers made their money, all they are really doing is selling finance by false hope, the spud machine was just a vehicle to achieve that, it could equally have been an intensive chicken rearing hangar, oven cleaning van, Chips-Away franchise etc etc.

About 20 years ago while cycling in rural Germany I used to pass a farm with a 24 hour potato dispenser. I always meant to come back sometime and buy some but never did. Mysty’s post reminded me of it and I wondered if it still existed. Through the magic of Google I typed in two words and found out it’s still there! boxenscout.de/automaten/eier-kartoffelkiste-linnich/ |

It was all very adult. Condoms were to be found in vending machines, service stations and pharmacies. 🙄 |
