For several days last July, Trojan handed out vibrators from big purple trucks parked outside of New York City bars. Apparently summer is the season for sex toys on wheels, because today and tomorrow, Trojan is back with a new gimmick: sensual hot dog carts. Explains the New York Times:
Trojan plans to distribute 5,000 each of the Tri-Phoria device, which retails for $40, and the Pulse, which retails for $30, for a total retail value of $350,000. It goes without saying, surely, but Trojan asserts this is the biggest handout of vibrators ever. This is all part of Trojan's plan to make buying a sex toy as normal as picking up a pack of gum—or at least a pack of condoms. If you want to be one of the lucky 10,000 people accepting a vibrator from a hot dog truck, consult the list of times and locations after the jump.
