The Moscow Times, though, noted that many of the local foods in Sochi are actually being pushed out by a prevalence of pizza and hot dogs around the Olympic area. While the number of restaurants in Sochi has sky-rocketed since the announcement of the games, there's actually been a shortage of things like oysters and cha-cha (a grape-flavored vodka that's a specialty of the region).

Problems with ensuring that athletes get exactly what they need -- if that means gluten-free or carb-heavy -- prompted the U.S. Ski team to hire its own chef after the Turin games. According to The New York Times, multiple Olympic medalist Julia Mancuso was forced to rummage in her car the night before her gold medal run in 2006 and ended up eating granola bars. Now, the ski team's chef has to battle other team chefs for ingredients. Making nutritious, tasty and familiar meals for high-performing athletes is no easy task. There's another kind of Olympics going on in the grocery stores between the team cooks.

But, make no mistake: after the competition is over, the Olympians celebrate like, well, Olympians.

The Canadians have become the talk of the town with their beer fridge. The catch? It only opens by using your Canadian passport. Set up as a marketing gimmick by Molson Coors Canada at Canada House (each country typically has a house to host sponsors, celebrate victories and attract tourists), athletes and visitors need only to swipe their Canadian passport in the machine. Similar fridges were set up last summer across Europe at places like northern France and the White Cliffs of Dover.

A video promoting the fridge shows someone desperately yelling, "Is there anybody Canadian?"

Everybody else will have to make do with Coke. U.S. speedskater Brian Hansen tweeted: "Put this key chain in any coke machine in the #olympicvillage and you get a free coke."

And, plenty of athletes are taking advantage of the brand new temporary McDonalds as soon as they're done with their competitions. Shaun White might not have been happy about how his Olympics turned out, but that didn't stop him from chowing down, according to his Twitter.

So, if you want to get in the Olympic spirit, maybe try some borscht or khatchapuri. Or, just eat a whole bunch of hamburgers and fries.

Or, if you're particularly artistic and motivated, there's more than a few ideas out there for creating five ring themed cupcakes, bagels, pancakes, cookies or even torch ice cream pops.
