    I've been watching the Italian Open Tennis Tournament on TV.

    In between points, I noticed some of the advertising.
    Dunlop is the "official" ball, one said. i.e. the players don't get a choice, that's the brand of ball supplied for this tournament.
    No problem with that.

    What I found curious was an advertisement actually on the side of the umpires' chairs.

    Apparently, the brand, Rummo, is the "official" pasta.
    What are the conditions attached to this, I've no idea.

    Maybe it's the only brand they allow the rackets to be strung with :D
