HANOI (Reuters) - Police in Vietnam have confiscated an estimated 345,000 used condoms which had been cleaned and resold as new, state media reported.

 

Footage broadcast by state-owned Vietnam Television (VTV) this week showed dozens of large bags containing the used contraceptives scattered across the floor of a warehouse in the southern province of Binh Duong.

 

Police said the bags weighed over 360 kilograms (794 lbs), equivalent to 345,000 condoms, according to VTV.

 

The owner of the warehouse said they had received a "monthly input of used condoms from an unknown person," state newspaper Tuoi Tre reported.

 

A woman detained during the bust told police that the used prophylactics were first boiled in water then dried and reshaped on a wooden phallus before being repackaged and resold.

 

VTV said it was not clear how many of the recycled condoms had already been sold. The detained woman said she had received $0.17 for every kilogramme of recycled condoms she produced.

 

Neither she nor the owner of the warehouse were available for comment.

Recall old joke:

How do you recycle a condom?

Turn inside out and shake the "F" out of it

[blazes]

The French connection?  The town of Condom in SW France is apparently twinned with Maidenhead in the UK.  ????

[charmonman]

The unknown person who provides the “monthly input of used condoms” is a very busy man apparently.

[Taco]

yet another reason to not use a condom

[Grumpy one]

I wonder if the used water was recycled into a pork or chicken  broth  ????

Has NCC been to Vietnam recently?   LOL

There are countries where they use sheep intestines as condoms.

In some cases with the sheep still on it...

[donnacha]

This makes Vietnam the only country in which using a condom makes it more likely you'll get HIV.

Did any of your 10,000 condoms find their way to Vietnam? ????

[condohope]

As one can see from the photos most condoms are rolled down only half way so one might think that the other half is still good in a time of reuse and avoidance of waste.

[Tug]

That’s absolutely disgusting 

[tomazbodner]

Well, there are some TV members that sing praise to Vietnam's beaches and comfort ladies. Could be this gang's most loyal customers...

[Nout]

I wonder who dobbed them in?

I used to work for one of those recycling joints. Finally quit as they kept asking me to come  early. They didn't like my attitude: told them I'd come when I'm darn ready to!
