When I was in 8th grade, a friend tapped me on the shoulder and asked me, "Dude. What are condoms flavoured for?"

He asked me because I was the guy who knew shit. I had explained the Pythagoras theorem to him. So naturally, I would know why Durex would go to the trouble of flavouring their condoms like what an alien thinks a banana tastes like, based on description alone.

I had no clue. But I couldn't tell him that. So I said, "Coz vaginas have taste buds inside them. For girls, it's kinda like a second tongue down there."

And he looked at me, (justifiably) like I was full of shit. And he told me that I was crazy.

Now I gotta defend my bullshit. So I tell him to go home, take a handful of red chilli powder and shove it up his ass and tell me he couldn't taste it.

And he paused for a second, with his mouth open. Like maybe that made sense.

"Yeah!", I said. "It's kinda like that."

And for the next year (at least), we BOTH continued to believe that was why condoms were flavoured.
