Here's me, officially endorsing the official noodles of the 2008 Beijing Olympics - 'They are delicious' (Yes Mum, that is my laundry hanging up behind me. I've really made myself at home!)
The official yoghurt of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games
And my favourite, the official iron of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
Coincidentially Sach sent me this article today from the Wall Street Journal about the lengths organisers are going to to keep non sponsors out of sight. Good read.

I wonder how "Olympic" the official iron of the 2008 Beijing Games is? Does it rate your ironing performance from Gold to Bronze? (presuming of course, you make it through the heats). <-- Get it? Hilarious.
That being said, sponsorships are a microcosm of the games. Omega and Speedo are the Michael Phelps of the sponsorship world, whereas the official iron falls probably somewhere between that Japanese dude who fell off the rings and the entire event of curling.
Hey, hey, hey, HEY!!!!!
Take that back! Curling has given many of the world's sick children hope. Olympic hope. Golden hope.
The kind of hope that only the current curling world champion skip Jennifer Jones can give...
OK.
Maybe I was a tad hasty and harsh on curling at the Olympics.
I conducted some detailed research on the history of curling at the Olympics and found it very entertaining and slightly arousing. (SFW)
