Translation for the condoms on the left:

Asiatic condoms

I have a suspicion about what they're trying to say by that, and it's racist AF.

Not sure exactly what they think their target demographic is for this washroom.

Sorry it's not really a meme, but I didn't know where else to post it, and I HAD to share.

What are you talking about? The very first comment at the top of this chain explain it does not say small dick; it says thin condom. Also these machines were all over, like gumballs and cigarette machines, rural or not. They put condoms across the board because that's what sells the most on average (rural or urbain). It's also more likely to see those in rural/old places because they haven't renovated in 50 years or bothered taking them down.

The rest of my comments are based on that. There's nothing racist about selling a highly sensitive condom from asia, like there's nothing wrong with american bbq sauce, french bread and italian pasta. Asian massage oils/penis pills/sex positions/massage techniques etc.. are a worlwide stereotype / cultural association

I don't believe that it's only saying thin. Not only have I never seen thin condoms advertised as "Asiatic" anywhere else in North America, it's also a really strange way to phrase it.

But even if you're correct, it's so easily misinterpreted that it's still funny.

And even ignoring the condom entirely, it's still such a funny assortment of sex-stuff to find in a washroom in a basement of a rural gas station. I'm shocked that there'd be such demand for vibrating cock rings here that it'd be worth stocking.
