this has been an ongoing meme since the invention of the Olympics
somebody did a reverse NASA with the tampons here. the correct amount of condoms to order for the Olympics is probably something like (the number that somebody could use if they were fucking 24/7 the entire event) x (the number of attendees) x (quadruple it for good measure)
I read something saying the Paris games had 2 per person per day, while these games had about 10x less
Does this mean 1/10th?
