Very misleading headline. No one is actually paying 755 US dollars for a pack of condoms. The official exchange rate is a fantasy. The actual price is 25 dollars for a 36 count box of condoms. They make it sound like people are paying almost 800 bucks for 3 condoms, FAIL.

On the auction website MercadoLibre, used by Venezuelans to obtain scarce goods, a 36-pack of Trojans sells for 4,760 bolivars ($755 at the official exchange rate), close to the country’s minimum monthly wage of 5,600 bolivars. At the unofficial black-market rate used by people with access to dollars, the cost is about $25, compared to $21 in the U.S.
"Me llaman el desaparecido
Que cuando llega ya se ha ido
Volando vengo, volando voy
Deprisa deprisa a rumbo perdido"
