Question Anyone know why it's called a "Molotov" cocktail?

Yea, exactly as the title asks. The only semi-famous Molotov I know of was the guy who made the Molotov Plan (he was a Soviet foreign minister, just before and during the cold war.)

Any guesses?

Molotov cocktail, mockingly named after Vyacheslav Molotov is the generic name for a variety of improvised incendiary weapons, also known as the petrol bomb, gasoline bomb, or Molotov bomb. They are commonly associated with guerrilla forces and rioters, since they are often the only effective weapons available where other conventional weapons are restricted or banned, and are easily assembled from components commonly available even in highly restrictive states.

i would suggest not asking trivia questions over the internet..... anyone can wiki anything lol

Well, despite the fact suprflywhiteguy or whatever his name is gave you the answer I decided to make up a more interesting and better sounding answer.(it's also truthful, unlike that user edited wiki shit)

So, there was this bartender named Tom Molotov and he had made a cocktail that was known for miles around. His cocktail was similar to the flaming shot, except it was from a beer bottle, and it had a rag in it. The only time someone got a Molotov cocktail it was on the house and was when they were incredibly drunk and stupid enough not to notice the rag hanging out the bottle making the cocktail impossible to drink. When the drunk would notice that he couldn't drink the damn drink he would set it down. However, one day some dumbfuck who for the hell of it I'll name Jack Sparrow got far too drunk and was pissing off Tom, so Tom decided to give him one of his famous cocktails. Unlike the other fuckers though Jack dropped the damn bottle where it shattered and spread flames everywhere. Molotov, being the business man he was, decided he could try making a quick buck off this started a series of studies and wrote some essays and shit like that(he might've been on the cover of newsweek also, I haven't decided yet). Anyway he eventually decided it was the best idea to use gasoline, because 151 is too damn expensive to throw at a god damn wall. He went to the patent office and got a patent for his "Molotov Cocktail" and started putting it on shelfs. He soon figured out however that no one is dumb enough to pay $19.95 for a beer bottle and rag with the words "Molotov" painted on them, so he went out of buisiness, but the name stuck, so that's where name came from. Thanks for playing, try again next time.

That was fun, gimmie another one.
