Molotov cocktails are named that way because Balts have a twisted sense of humor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molotov_bread_basket https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molotov_bread_basket In 1939, the Soviet Foreign Minister, Vyacheslav Molotov, claimed the Soviet Union was not dropping bombs on Finland, but merely airlifting food to starving Finns. The Finns sarcastically dubbed the RRAB-3 cluster bomb "Molotov's bread basket." Consequently, the improvised incendiary device that Finns used to counter Soviet tanks was named the "Molotov cocktail", "a drink to go with the food."
