What no lube?

I love Barcelona. The food, the sight, the quirks. On the train ride into the city today I found a vending machine with Special K bars, rice cake chips and juice. Upon further inspection, I found this:

Kleenex, condoms (conveniently disguised as cigarette packets), and a battery operated pocket vibrator! Holy shit. Looks like Spaniards really know how to make the most of their Friday night club one-night stands. All that's missing is the lube, although I'm guessing that's not an issue with all the hot Spanish people out there. This would never ever fly in a public vending machine in the states, which of course, once again reminds me that sex sells and we are still too prudish in the US to capitalize on it through mainstream consumption. Imagine seeing this at the MUNI station next to the ticket vending machines! Sent from my iPhone
