In this case, the title isn’t referring to Trojan’s profitability. I contacted Church & Dwight, manufacturers of Trojan Condoms, with a different kind of mint in mind…
Dear Condom Consumer Sexual Affairs Experts:
My wife only likes to kiss me when my mouth is minty fresh. So I was thinking, why not put out a mint scented condom? If you do, maybe my wife would put out more too. You could even call it a Condomint. Sounds like much more fun than ketchup, doesn’t it?
Also, I was wondering where the name Trojan comes from. Does it have anything to do with the Trojan Horse? I’ll bet that sucker was well-endowed!
Prophylactically yours,
“Me”
A Consumer Relations Specialist from Church & Dwight responded with:
Thank you for contacting us regarding Trojan® Condoms, and sharing your suggestion for flavoring our product.
Other consumers have brought similar ideas to our attention.
Our aim is to manufacture quality products which meet the needs of our consumers. Your input is valuable in helping us meet this goal.
Once again, thank you for contacting us.
Final Thoughts: Upon further Google research, there are a variety of scented and flavored condoms that turn up for whatever turns you on — everything from orange, banana and strawberry scents with colors to match — to — milk chocolate, coconut chocolate and mint chocolate flavors. As for strictly mint, there’s one from LifeStyles called, “Kiss of Mint.” Trojan did not make any recommendations regarding scents or flavors they might offer.
Included in the response was a Save $2.00 coupon on Trojan products as well as a brochure that addresses Sexually Transmitted Diseases, how to use condoms correctly (Before Sex, Tips for Success and After Sex), choosing the right condom and more. There was also a “Be Smart. Be Prepared.” card with facts about STDs and tips for protecting yourself and your friends. No mention about any connection between the Trojan brand name and the Trojan Horse.
There may be something to satisfy your sexual appetite from Trojan. However, if what you’re looking for isn’t on the menu, it’s time to Write The Company.

I remember a situation while living in Okinawa, Japan in the early 90′s. My husband and I were browsing through the various stores in the market area. One boutique seemed innocent enough upon entrance. Were we surprised! What we thought was a candy store was actually a condom boutique incognito. The products were not in their usual boxes behind a counter, but were openly displayed in single packages creatively presented with various candies. I have to admit, the marketing strategy was unique and drew a lot of traffic.

I believe the shop you’re referring to in Japan is called Condomania. I found these photos and video. Enjoy!
