IT´S NOT

Answer 5

No, it is completely wrong! That may well go down the slippery slope of confiscating any food/drink that spectators bring in if it is not made by the sponsors brand. Or just confiscating it even if it was the 'right' brand just since it wasn't purchased there (even though spectators would likely end up buying more when in once thier own one had run out!).

I always was under the impression that advertising (which sponsorship basically is, at the end of the day) was there to make people aware of a particular brand, not force people into buying it! Shot themselves in the foot, methinks!
