06.15.14 | was mediating earlier and was hit with a question that even the Dalai Lama struggle to answer... what do you guys think? |
TheSpaceMan
06.15.14 | damn gotta sit on that one for a bit hmmm |
ArsMoriendi
06.15.14 | Not everyone fucks with condoms and lighters are used for way more than just smoking.
I vote for lighters. |
BMDrummer
06.15.14 | Probably lighters, even I have a few. No, I don't smoke, but fire is fun :] |
TheSpaceMan
06.15.14 | yeah most people I've asked say lighters but like its really even when you think about it, I've bought my fair share of each but somehow lighters have been appearing in my possession for years and I can't remember the last time I've bought one... and I smoke way too much weed lol |
TheSpaceMan
06.15.14 | true when I said units I meant each individual condom/lighter, so like buying a triple pack would be them selling 3 condoms, etc
my business/retail vocab isn't the best lol |
Onirium
06.15.14 | I've been thinking about this for 20 minutes now and I haven't found an answer. It is indeed a very deep question we have here |
TheSpaceMan
06.15.14 | exactly! you can find a valid argument for either side, its been a cyclical argument in my head for months not even kidding |
beefshoes
06.15.14 | Lighters since they've been around longer than disposable condoms. Plus most of the western world smoked until the later part of the 20th century. Retail condoms didn't really start to catch on until the 1980s. |

06.15.14 | bringing facts into this bitch I like it |
TheSpaceMan
06.15.14 | how about within the past ten years? sets the competition pretty even again |
beefshoes
06.15.14 | It's still speculative unless I bring citations into this bitch ;)
I would assume lighters, but I'm sure that it's pretty close. It usually takes me a long time to burn through a lighter, but I buy loads of condoms at once and might use multiple in one night. I'd love to see a study on this. |
mkamrass
06.15.14 | Arson forever and forever. Yeah, why not both?? There is arson outside AND arson inside. Just inside, you light the whole bed on fire with your natural lighter. Both have sold a lot. |

06.15.14 | Compare the percentage of worldwide smokers with the current world population and you'll have your answer |

06.15.14 | Japanese men are smoking but are not having sex |

06.15.14 | i'd say bic |

A huge proportion of the world still smokes, especially in eastern countries like China and Indonesia.
Also, condoms aren't as popular in less developed countries. 6 billion people in the world also means
a huge chunk of people either didn't use contraception, the condom fell off, they didn't want or
couldn't get contraception, or their government banned it. |

lol fuck I can't look at this the same
"Compare the percentage of worldwide smokers with the current world population and you'll have your answer"
hmmm good point the amount of people on this earth shows weak sales for condoms... but hey theres no legal age limit for buying condoms (at least where I'm from, I doubt its any different elsewhere), and personally I've bought more condoms in my life then lighters and I smoke a good amount of smokable things I feel like almost every man in a 1st world country has buys a condom at some point in their life, but I can't say the same for lighters |

Oh, you took my comment seriously! |
demigod!
06.16.14 | in terms of sales hmm i'd probably say bics
even during a dry spell people keep on smokin' |
TheSpaceMan
06.16.14 | yeah bics probably edges it out just a little but it also just occurred to me how these things cost less than a penny to make and both are crazy in what they do... like one completely thwarts god's natural design of life and reproduction and the other ignites a fucking flame in the palm of your hand |
JJOMan
06.16.14 | The simplest things can be the most amazing can't they |
TheSpaceMan
06.16.14 | yeah we take so much for granted without even realizing it, its ridiculous |
beefshoes
06.16.14 | Yeah. I |
