I know it's just a throwaway line, but the bit about Cleopatra at the top feels in poor taste. It's completely inaccurate in that no one has ever attributed her death to a "mamba", and even the asp that some sources claim has been disputed. But even aside from that, it just feels weird that a human being's death has turned into a random reference you can make in a throwaway joke while advertising a product.
They're certainly not the first to use Cleopatra this way nor the most egregious, but there are plenty of other random mamba jokes that could have filled in there and both made more sense and been less crass.

- solarkraft 2y agoI do agree, but there’s worse. Ever heard of Patrice Lumumba? He was a congolese politician involved in its independence and democratization. He was shot with the involvement of western forces. There’s a drink named after him: Hot chocolate with a shot of rum.
