It was part of a campaign by the Utah department of health on HIV prevention and promotion of safe sex. The department apologised for "the offensive packaging". The office of Mr Herbert, a Republican, said that he "understands the importance of the Utah department of health conducting a campaign to educate Utahns about HIV prevention". "He does not, however, approve the use of sexual innuendo as part of a taxpayer-funded campaign, and our office has asked the department to rework the campaign's branding," the statement added. In response, the health department tweeted that "the designs did not go through necessary approval channels", urging any organisation involved in the campaign to immediately stop distributing the condoms...

"Toss The Jello Salad" and "Fillmore Beaver", etc.
