- We have a long-term commitment to the Olympics. Our involvement first began in 1968 when US Olympic athletes became so homesick for American food that we airlifted some of our hamburgers into the Olympic Village. Our official sponsorship of the Games began in 1976 at the Montreal Games and we were proud that this sponsorship continued for London 2012.
