    Went into rant mode at work one time because they were saying the USSR was part of the axis powers.

    My head of department bought me wine with a picture of Stalin on the bottle for my birthday after that.

    That was pretty cool.

      see, when we call americans the most propagandized people on earth, this is what we mean. no one told that person that the US fought the USSR in world war two, but it is so common and socially acceptable to not know about anything that happened before you were born that they got to adulthood without ever being corrected on it.

          There wasn't a WWII fight, it's that Americans will imagine there was and not get corrected on it because most of our understanding of history is vibes based.

            I have the same brand. It's a very pretty bottle (mine's a little scuffed bc it was in the freezer), and the vodka itself is not bad

                How do I get ahold of Cuban booze? I want to support the revolution and make Fidel proud.

                  Gotta buy it abroad. I always cop a couple bottles when I visit LatAm, not just for ideological reasons either. Havana Club is a good rum in its own right, selección de maestros is probably one of the best deals out there at like $30 usd a bottle.

                  It’s definitely not illegal to bring it into the US under your allotted customs quota for personal use

                      1.5L is the limit I believe, but it might raise eyebrows if you use up both parents and the six year old’s quota lol

                  haha it illegal to bring into the us now i think (not sure) . But that didnt stop my parents from smuggling a few bottles (ok a lot) of cuban rum in the us everytime we visited my fathers Caribbean country. i have an uncle who make famous rum cakes, he insist you use cuban rum. ill get extra drunk for you on my honeymoon.
