Trust us, Las Vegas knows a thing or two about marketing ploys.<\/p>\n<p>Here&rsquo;s the skinny. A box of 12 regular Trojan condoms sells for about $6. A box of Magnums goes for about $8. That&rsquo;s a hefty mark-up, especially when you consider they&rsquo;re virtually the same product.<\/p>\n<p>See, regular Trojan and the Magnum are each two inches wide at the base. A regular Trojan condom is 7.8 inches long, as opposed to 8.12 inches for the Magnum. That&rsquo;s a mere 0.32-inch difference.<\/p>\n<p>The only real difference between regular and Magnums is the width of the shaft end, and it&rsquo;s not much of a difference at all.<\/p>\n<p>Regular Trojans are two inches wide and Magnums are 2.5 inches. Given that the length and base widths are virtually the same, that difference really only amounts to Magnums having a strange shape, not any real accommodation for a guy&rsquo;s perceived awesomeness.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2194\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2194\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/vitalvegas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/magnum_condom.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload size-full wp-image-2194 \" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"By the way, real men don't litter.\" src=\"\/vitalvegas\/dist\/images\/common\/transparent_3x2.gif\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/vitalvegas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/magnum_condom.jpg\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2194\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">By the way, real men don&rsquo;t litter.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Fun fact: Trojan has never advertised Magnums, because it doesn&rsquo;t need to.
