Price Check on...uh...hmm

Alrite, so I'm standing in line at the Drug Store today and the guy in front of me--probably 19 or 20 years old--is trying very awkwardly and unsuccessfully to hide a box of condoms in between a pack of gum and a pack of pens. He's fidgeting with them and trying to make sure that no one else standing around can see them, like he doesn't realize that the checkout girl is still going to see them when she has to scan them, like he really believes that she won't even realize what she's scanning if they're sandwiched between gum and Bic pens. But it got me thinking:

What is the most awkward/creepy combination of products that a person could buy along with condoms at an average drug store?

Last two days:
Sequel:
As bad as Caddyshack 2 was, I don't think it sullied the Caddyshack name nearly as much as Batman and Robin did, so I give this one to Nick. By the way the movie that inspired this question was The Next Karate Kid starring future Academy Award winner Hilary Swank.

Remake:
This one goes to Becca, Bad News Bears the remake was appallingly bad. Bad News Bears would make my top five at number five though, behind 4. The live action 101 Dalmations with Glen Close 3. Planet of the Apes 2. The Pink Panther (Why Steve Martin, WHY?) 1. Psycho (I still can't believe the amazing names that are associated with this piece of shit film: Gus Van Sant, Vince Vaughn, Julianne Moore, William H. Macy, Viggo Mortensen)

Nick:
I'm gonna go with Batman and Robin. The first one with Keaton was awesome, the second was decent and the third (with Kilmer) was meh.

The fourth one was without a doubt the worst movie I've ever seen. Awful fucking writing, neutering George Clooney (who, in a decent movie, would make a fucking awesome Batman). Awful performance by Uma Thurman. Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze was one awful pun after another. Alicia Silverstone was terrible and useless as Batgirl. I can't stress enough how much I hated the dialogue too. It was beyond terrible.

But the worst part of the movie was the insanely awful, stupid, whiney cunty performance by Chris O'Donnell. He was the most annoying character I've ever seen in any movie. Just a total bitch cunt. I wanted to find him and hunt him down after I saw this, especially because he was the main draw for the girls I went to see this with. The fact that he's a BC guy is entirely unsurprising to me. He probably should've been barred from ever acting again after this movie.

Fuck Batman and Robin.

(Also, Godfather III should be immediately disqualified, because although not nearly measuring up to the standards of the two greatest films ever released, it wasn't a horrible movie if it stands alone. I know it's not worthy of the Godfather name, but Pacino was still damn good, and even Andy Garcia was decent. Plus, Calo killing the boss with his glasses was badass enough for that movie to get some credit.)

Becca:
Bad News Bears. I loved the original with Walter Matthau, but Billy Bob Thornton scares the everliving crap out of me.

Maybe the blank video tapes... and Silber's stump. But that's it.
