Toronto Is Handing Out World Cup Condoms Because Apparently Everyone Plans on “Scoring”

Toronto Public Health is preparing for the World Cup the Canadian way: politely reminding everyone to wear protection before making terrible decisions with tourists.
As the city gets ready to host hundreds of thousands of soccer fans during the World Cup next summer, Toronto Public Health has announced it’ll be handing out free soccer-themed condoms across the city.

Because nothing says “international sporting event” quite like a government-issued condom with a soccer pun on it.
More than 300,000 visitors are expected in Toronto between June 11 and July 19 while Canada co-hosts the tournament alongside the U.S. and Mexico. And apparently city officials know exactly what happens when massive crowds, alcohol, and people with accents collide.

The limited-edition condoms come with slogans like:
• “Block Those Shots!”
• “What A Finish!”
• “Peaches & Cream”
…which features a peach and eggplant in front of a soccer net because subtlety officially left the stadium.
The condoms will be available at four Toronto Public Health sexual health clinics as part of the city’s CondomTO initiative, which promotes safer sex and helps reduce stigma around sexual health.
Honestly, it’s probably smart planning.
Because if history has taught us anything, people absolutely lose their minds during major sporting events.
One minute you’re watching soccer with a stranger from Portugal… next thing you know you’re naming your future child Cristiano.
No word yet on whether they’ll also hand out tiny red cards for people making questionable romantic decisions after midnight.
