Fun Fact:
Before the Soviet invasion of Finland in WWII started the Soviets were dropping clusterbombs which were large metal enclosures that held onto many smaller bombs. All the while the soviet minister Molotov told his own people they were dropping supplies on their “Finnish brothers”. Hence these bombs became known as Molotov’s Bread Baskets.
Now during the invasion, the Finns returned the favour by throwing these gasoline bottles onto Soviet tanks’ air vents to burn out the engine, and they became known as Molotov’s Cocktails, to be served along with the bread.
