"Condoms prevent minivans"

“Condoms prevent minivans”—that is, condoms prevent children that would necessitate a larger vehicle—is a jocular saying that has been printed on many images (especially bumper stickers). “Words to live by: condoms prevent minivans” was posted on Twitter by A Totally Different Charles on June 25, 2008.

The saying originated from a mother and was popularized when it was put on a bottle cap of products from the Magic Hat Brewing Company of South Burlington, Vermont.
