Qatar’s World Cup stadium alcohol ban was no match for one U.S. fan’s ingenuity—and fake suntan lotion bottle. GregBishopSI relays the tale of a supporter’s defiant sleight of hand
From a suntan lotion company that doesn’t exist.
Alcohol at the World Cup has been a hot topic after Qatar’s late pivot and decision to ban its sale at stadiums.Teddy shares this info while still in Qatar, while also mentioning the scheme off-handedly, in a text message. He agrees to tell the story of his lighthearted “smuggling” as long as it’s not shared, for those safety reasons, until after he leaves the country and cannot be detained or punished. The bottle is blue and looks. It’s sold by a company named GoPong, in packs of two, for $9.99 on Amazon. The bottles are rectangular, made from plastic, and measure 3.5 inches by 2 inches by 8 inches.
Simultaneously, Teddy messages his fellow soccer travelers. He asks one to tell him what security is like on that traveler’s cruise ship, since that traveler will check in earlier than Teddy and his wife. The message that comes back alerts Teddy to the suntan lotion flasks. He orders them, two sets, four in total. Forty-eight hours later, they arrive via Amazon Prime delivery. What a world.
