The snap, which sees Eric with his thumb up, has been retweeted 9,309 times and has over 11,000 likes. After the tweet was published, others took to the site in their droves to salute³ Eric's efforts.

 

'Most COOL job in Brazil,' wrote one user, whilst another added: 'Handing out condoms is always a fun and vital job. Go Eric!'

 

About 450,000 condoms will be distributed during the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, three times more than for the London Games four years ago, the International Olympic Committee said.

 

This equates⁴ to 42 condoms per games participant - so it's little surprise that Eric was laden⁵ with so many.
