 On one hand, gotta advertise your movie. On the other, do you use a promotional shot of the lead dragging a black guy around the same week he told us a tale of the time he got so mad he wanted to murder a random black person?

In the best timeline, Neeson killed a black person but it happened to be someone who was going to become a politician and they were actually just in blackface.

There's really no good way to read this. Either they're saying that their vodka is poo poo that real connoisseurs wouldn't consider vodka, or that Russians are drunks. Either way it doesn't say anything positive about the brand.

someone awful. posted:Kinder eggs are absolutely sold in America, they're a different type than in Europe I think though because of our laws about having inedible things encased in food. The package is egg shaped and split down the middle, with one half having chocolate cream and some crunchy things and one half having the toy prize. They're called Kinder Joys, and they were originally designed for hot climates where normal chocolate eggs would just melt too quickly. It was just coincidence the packaging that kept the toy included also happened to skirt the US FDA regulations about inedible items in food. Which also yeah predates Kinder Eggs by a landslide. From the 30s or so, when you still had actual shysters putting genuinely poisonous poo poo as filler in food items.

Can confirm. In rural Russia alcohol consumption is very casual. Like, it's perfectly normal to drink few shots with dinner. With your family. And when I say "shots" I mean you sip from 12 oz glass filled to the top. They made fun of me for drinking beer instead of vodka. Average life expectancy is something like 58, by the way.

I remember someone talking about an incident where (if I remember correctly) two guys spent the day just drinking an entire bottle of vodka, and then after one passed out the other decided to burn down the apartment to kill him because he raped his daughter before but he passes out himself trying to do it and accidentally kills everyone in the building. This was presented as a normal occurrence in Russia.

 I wasn’t alive in 1907 and Grape‐Nuts are still sold on every corner today, so it’s possible this this was a smart marketing move.

Mu Zeta posted:When Anthony Bourdain filmed an episode in Moscow he said they pretty much drank vodka instead of water Alcohol in Russia is dirt cheap which means people consume a lot of it which means people are more likely to develop chemical dependencies on it. Like 90% of alcohol regulations in America have no point beyond making it more expensive and inconveneint to produce alcohol, so that its more expensive and inconvenient to become an alcoholic.

And when I say "shots" I mean you sip from 12 oz glass filled to the top. They made fun of me for drinking beer instead of vodka. Average life expectancy is something like 58, by the way. The Soviet Union implemented a form of semi-prohibition in the 80s for a few years where alcohol prices were increased and sales hours were reduced and so on. As a result, during that period life expectancy for men increased around 5 years, and for women it increased even more due to the reduction in domestic violence. Meanwhile, Putin has reduced domestic violence rates in Russia by legalizing it.
