    If I was an athlete and there were condoms with Olympic logo branding getting handed out, I would SO hoard them for souvenirs. Can you imagine?

    They’re in Italy. There are farmacie all over the place. They can get store-brand ones.

    Edit: Yup. Olympic Games branding. Goes in the scrapbook album. Unused, mind you.

      You have thousands of athletes, who are in the best shape of their lives. 20-30 years old. It’s hardly surprising they hook up with eachother.

      I don’t think they grab them for the logo. I’m pretty sure they are being used, frequently.

      Plus they’re officially branded, not some knockoff. It would be an amazing gag gift.
