    This is kind of how the Molotov cocktail got it’s name.

    The Russians were bombing the Finns, however in the media foreign minister Molotov said they were doing food drops. The bombs were called ‘Molotov breadbaskets’.

    So the improvised incendiary devices the Finns fought back with got called Molotov cocktails.
