Tina and Milo, the two mascot stoats representing the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games, whose stuffed animal likenesses are flying off the shelves.Less than a week into the Olympics, the stuffed animals are sold out in stores around Italy and on the Games’ official website, and any restocked inventory disappears immediately.
