17. Trojan condoms
This one’s kind of weird.The rationale behind using a Trojan warrior as a condom logo was presumably to convey masculinity and strength.But remember what happened in the Trojan war? Enemy soldiers built a huge wooden horse which they left outside Troy’s city walls. The Trojans brought it in, allowing the invaders to spill from the horse and slaughter everyone.I’m not sure that the thought of a container or vessel leaking anything (soldiers or otherwise) is really comforting when the point of a condom is to do the exact opposite.
