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.

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