That is begging to be converted into some type of model rocket vending device.

I was thinking it could be used to dispense a whole pack of condoms at once.

Looks Foreign. Maybe it's from Korea.

Looks like one of those cheap things people were making in their garages a few years ago. Looks real easy to break into.

Yes there are companies that make "sundry" items like toothbrushes, combs, shampoo, disposible razors, condoms, etc in cigarette packaging designed to fit in cigarette machines. They did this since so many places have banned cigarette machines that this is a good way to reuse these machines by selling other items from them instead of cigarettes.

I find it humorous that you mis-spelled cigarette in both posts.  Got anymore pics of that thing?

It's the color that makes me think it's Foreign, like Asian.
