Q: Why do supermarkets sell condoms with candy at the counter?

So people can pick them up secretly on their way out?

I mean...think about the kids!

Maybe because if they are located elsewhere, no one will pay for them but still take them.

Small and fun, just like sweets...easy to forget but when you see them you want them, just like sweets....A good place to remind people to pick up a pack before they leave the shop....

Since there's no sex ed taught, then children being the most likely to notice their surrounds will notice what's around their candy. So they will at least know condoms exist.

This is better than having them behind the counter like in some shops. I'm sure many people are too embarrassed to have to ask for them. I just don't see why some shops do that. It's better if they are somewhere visible and easily reachable like by the counter (but not behind it).

A:I had a similar experience in HK. If I recall correctly, before or at the Z visa application, I had to submit ME from the ordinary HK clinic, where I explained why I need ME and I asked them to examine only necessary things (I don't remember the cost ...), and then ... I got Z stamp and when back in China, I had to complete another RP ME, which was on the employer, i.e. included in the Contract ...We've never discussed refund of payment for HK ME with my employer. Year 2013 ...I'd say, that is a regular thingy embassies around the world require, before issuing visas for LT stay in the country. "Vladimir Vladimiro-Witch ras-Putin" (LOL@your pronunciation ..) demands the same thingy before granting LT stay in Ruski.  ... Haa, 2013 was the Snowden's year. I was in Kowloon at the time of his landing .. with all these files ... I'm-Still-in-LMAO-State ... Cost for the ME in HK was around HK$ 2000/200 EUR, and ME was kind of swift, quicker and way shorter than on the mainland ... -- icnif77
