Marilyn Still, 57, of Brighton, England, arrived at the All England Club to watch the tennis tournament at Wimbledon. But she was stopped over her contraband. Drugs? Weapons? No: two tubs of yogurt. They were the wrong brand; Muller was the "official" yogurt of the games, she was told. "I couldn't believe it," Still said. A Club spokesman called the practice "common policy across sports events" since "companies pay for the privilege to be associated with these events. It is not right that a potential competitor should be allowed to use the television coverage to push their own brand."
Still she should consider herself lucky: at the World Cup match, several thousand Dutch fans had their orange lederhosen emblazoned with the logo of a Dutch brewer confiscated; they watched the game sitting in their underwear.
