When I saw it I had to go in and see if they were really selling them. They were, and I consider it $2 very well spent. I can't wait to take it to class and show my economics students. Hopefully they'll be entertained as much as I am! (Or at least a little bit, since I fully realize I'm showing my dorkiness here...)
I'm not a good enough photographer to get a picture of every slogan written on the bottle, so here they are:
"Leninade: A taste worth standing in line for!"
"Get really hammered & sickled!" (It's just soda, honest!)
"Join the party!"
"Drink comrade! Drink! It's this or the gulag!"
"A party in every bottle!"
"Surprisingly satisfying simply Soviet style soda."
Something in Russian...
"Beware the repressed Communist Party animal who is really a proletarian in denial masquerading as a bourgeois Cold War monger!"
"Our 5-Year Plan: Drink a bottle a day for five years and become a Hero of Socialist Flavor."
"Misha, chill down this bottle & chill out!"
"Imagine all the soda."

I guess this is supposed to be funny, right? A parody of some sort? But even though I DO have a sense of humor, I'm not getting this. I mean, "Lenin"ade? What's so funny about Lenin? Or is this NOT supposed to be funny? Most of all, am I really the only person who thought it worth a comment?!!? That's amazing! Where are all the other opinionated "extremists"!?
Haha I don't know about this other guy that commented but I think this leninade is an instant classic, surpassed only by the likes of this threadless t-shirt here: https://www.threadless.com/product/383/The_Communist_Party
