Actually, many (in the USA) will probably remember the old Firestone Tire ads "...Where the Rubber Meets the Road..." (either as part of the print ad, or sung by rugged sounding guys....) :-) . In addition, in American slang, "rubber" means (meant?) "condom".
Therefore, the connection has already been made, at least here in the states.... :~>

PermalinkMaybe the ad writers were Americans and remembered the Firestone ads, and the American slang as well, and made the connection that way...
Otherwise, DAMN ODD!

PermalinkThe first one does have the best art by far, but I wasn't entirely sure what they were selling! (Not being a user of either type of rubber product.)

PermalinkPerhaps when I ordered that new set of Dunlops I should have requested to inspect the packing material.
