Why Cabbages and Condoms ?? What has Cabbages to do with Condoms? The first time I came across the name was from Bibik Nyonya's post, featuring the Cabbages and Condoms Potato Chips. Many have been wondering how the name arise including yours truly.A week or two ago, I found out there is a makan place with the name Cabbages and Condoms Restaurant in Bangkok, Thailand. What a name !! It is to raise funds for Thailand's Population and Community Development Association (PDA) and to promote birth control and family planning, to boost HIV/AIDS awareness and other health related issues. How the name Cabbages and Condoms come about? It is to promote condoms usage - to made it as common as and accepted just like cabbages, as cabbages are common food and staple diet in Northeast Thailand.
"Our food is guaranteed NOT to cause pregnancy." Hahaha.. What a unique and eye-catching slogan.
LOLOL, EFND™!!!! Get Condom Widget!
ReplyDeleteharharhar! I wonder if the condoms taste like cabbages? :P
ReplyDeleteThat is brilliant! It takes away the stigma from using condoms or being too prude about it. And it's good that the campaign is very innovative and really involving the public.

Hahha, yeah.. I still remember at that time (after reading the "dirty" entry regarding the cabbage & condom potato chips, most of us were still scratching our heads trying to relate the cabbages and the condoms, and that was just few weeks back. :)

ReplyDeleteKkakakka... yeah yeah.
Can eat the whole packet without any worries :D

Hahaha.. Wenn Wenn can eat the cabbage, but no free dom dom for u with the meal then :P
slurp,
Most of the populations in Thailand are still unaware of the importance of using condom to prevent spread of STD or HIV or AIDS. I have seen several patients (working in the sex industry) with Thai nationality with HIV or AIDS. They are totally ignorant. Although condoms are available, but they dunno the importance and the need to use it. That's why HIV and AIDS are so prevalence in Thailand. Sad cases :(
lol! i thought what's with this doctor - cabbages and condoms. lol!
ReplyDeleteI thought u would talk about potato chips in cabbage shape when I first spotted the pic! hehe... what an interesting one!
ReplyDeleteI dun eat cabbages wor...as a matter of fact, i hate the smell of cabbages....
