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.
gag gift??? Wrong kink, my friend
it's the German kind of gift
They’d need quite a lot of them (which they don’t have) but I suppose they could make it work
