Guys,
we've all been there! Back in our college days, we got a girl back to our dorm
or to our homes; we're about to get down and dirty and then all of
sudden..."Uh-oh! I have no more condoms!" Some of you may have risked
it with the bareback method and some took the really safe route and passed on
the sex. Well, we're all going to wish we knew this guy back then. This is Kyle
McCabe, he's a sophomore at The College of New Jersey, and he recently started
his own business called CondAm, a condom delivery service on campus for those
of you who happen to get caught in a condom-less situation.
You
can order condoms by calling, texting or by filling out an online form, and
within minutes, McCabe will show up at the students' doors wearing a helmet
with a flashing purple light and toting a backpack full of prophylactics.
McCabe, the one-man condom machine, claims that he can help couples "go
from kissing, to condoms, to sexy-time in mere seconds." CondAm, which is
short for Condom Ambulance, is available 24 hours 7 days a week, but during his
peak hours (weekends), McCabe claims he can have students protected within five
minutes.
According
to McCabe, business has been picking up since he went live back in October, and
at first, he says it was a solo operation, where he would buy and hand-deliver
all of his orders. Now, he's so busy that he has a few volunteers, and two
condom brands, Lifestyles and Glydes have even contacted him to form a
partnership. That's not bad for a college sophomore.
McCabe
says that CondAm is busiest during the weekends, where he receives around 30 to
40 orders. He mostly sells Trojans and couple of different flavors and sizes of
Glyde. Flavors? Are girls (or guys) eating condoms now? Why do they have to be
flavored? Anyway, one rubber costs $3 and 10 can set you back about $15. Isn't
it cheaper to buy it at CVS or Walgreens? Just saying! McCabe claims that he's
not running this business for the cash because he's not making a profit yet,
but he wants his campus to be safe. Yeah, right!
Students
seem to love the idea and McCabe has even said that he's received nothing but
positive feedback on his Facebook page. Students who want a more discreet
delivery can ask McCabe to turn his flashing siren helmet off. McCabe has his
sights set on expanding CondAm, but he's not in it for the cash. Like I said,
"Yeah, right!" He's consulted with a lawyer and created a waiver that
all students need to sign while paying for their condoms. He's considering
moving CondAm first to Rider University. McCabe says, "There's a need for
this on all college campuses."
Does this business
venture cut into his social life? Of course it does, but McCabe will tell you
that it's a sacrifice he's willing to make. He said that he'll even get a call
at like 2 or 3 a.m. while he's laying in bed with his girlfriend and it's a
little bit harder to get up and go full speed, but he says he knows there's a
kid in need and he's happy to do it. I think it's a brilliant business idea and
I think that though McCabe claims he's not in it for the money, there is money
to be made here! Where were you when I was in college, Kyle?
