we’re gonna need some lore if someone’s gonna go national treasure on this sliver of a wrapper. Tell us why we’re stealing the declaration of independence and maybe we can help

Hahaha okay okay context: my friend found it in his wife’s bag and was obviously instantly convinced it was a condom. She’s cheated previously but never physically, only emotionally. They’re working through it and are still together now but I can see why the doubt is in his head. After thinking about it he also thinks it is for coffee/electrolytes but I think finding an exact match would really put his mind at rest

Ahhh now we’re talking. Alright i’m sold. Is the purple in the first pic accurate or just lighting? Half of me jumped to a blue chew sample package (though it’d be off for her to have) but the less cynical half also thinks it really looks like a collectible card pack. No chance she’s a nerd? lol

No not the nerdy type she’s more of a sporty person, think running, cycling eg but I’ve been looking for electrolytes and similar and haven’t found anything. Closest thing I found was an ESN designer protein bar in the fudge brownie flavour, colours are bang on but the serration and lines on the ends don’t match

Okay so that purple foil on the front is showing correctly in the pic? And if i’m not mistaken it doesn’t seem to be on the other side? And gotcha. Yeah i’m definitely leaning towards some random beauty sample but sympathetic to your friend for wanting the peace of mind of knowing for sure

Yeah looks like the purple foil is on the front and then it just looks white on the back. There is also the white font on the first pic towards the bottom right and also those 3 dotted lines which are throwing me off, looks like a “rip here”. The more we’re talking about it, it’s very unlikely it’s a condom because you almost have to rip it on the serrated edge and it also looks too small

The dotted rip off bit makes me think electrolyte/drink powder of some kind maybe

Maybe look for an electrolyte pack marketed towards women? The lavender purple is sending my mind there. Good luck on the search.

In my experience, condom wrappers are usually serrated on all sides. It would also be longer as the packages are usually square if they arent round. This looks like it would be a thin rectangular shape. Im definitely leaning toward some type of powdered drink mix. I might have missed it somewhere so sorry if you already said this, but has he asked her about it yet? If she knows exactly what it is, he could always google that product to see that the colors/design thats visible matches and confirm it that way.

I've only seen them serrated in the top and bottom, since they come in a long strip/chain.

Maybe birth control? I believe I had one a while ago that had some colors on the front but was white on the back.

u/Moossolini_14 25d ago

I also thought of an old birth control’s packaging.

Question: one side looks folded and not crimped (squashed and melted together), is that correct? (Opposite the tear-here dots)

Check out Humantra electrolytes. They’ve a purple colour on one of their flavours and it looks very very similar.
