The Fauxlympics slaloms into its final days with six more entries revealed: WKD, Colgate, ADT, British Airways, Just for Men and Viagra

With almost two dozen entries in the past 24 hours, we have picked a selection of six for you look at, to get you limbered up for voting next week.
There will be a Burger King, Pepsi and Galaxy winner in each of the four categories, with an overall winner to receive the grand prize of a summer Chip, courtesy of the Chip Shop Awards (and the only non-McDonald's chip you'll be able to have on the Olympic grounds).

In case you have forgotten, the four categories are:

Big Communications: WKD
RBH: British Airways
RAM Vision: Colgate
HROC: Viagra
Sideways NYC: ADT
Portfolio: Just for Men
