In India, millions of condoms distributed free to control population & reduce the spread of AIDS are being put to
alternative uses instead.
they are being used instead to strengthen roads, provide extra waterproofing for houses and to carry water. Health activists said millions of condoms were melted down for their latex and made into toys. Others were dyed and sold as balloons.
In rural areas, villagers used them as water containers. India's soldiers covered their gun barrels with condoms as protection against dust.
Ahem:
Only a quarter of about 1.5 billion condoms made each year were "properly utilised", the activists said.
