Wednesday, December 01, 2004Commie Week #3
From leninade.communist: "'Leninade is a soda pop that truly captures the spirit of the Russian Revolution! It's Red, it's Bubbly, and it goes well with Vodka!' - Former Communist Party Official; now a used car salesman in Tampa." More: "It's a taste worth standing in line for!" This advertisement was attached to a bulletin board outside a Fremont coffee shop. I went inside to get a bottle but they didn't have any. Frustrated and thirsty, I headed down the street to the Red Apple Market. Not a single bottle of Leninade was sitting on its shelves. "Weird," I thought to myself. "What kinda commie-lovin' neighborhood is this?" I look around in other various businesses but eventually wound up Leninade-less. Then it hit me. This is a socialist soda. Having this product available and meeting my consumer demand would be downright capitalistic, right? I truly was in a strange land. NEXT TIME: The Fremont neighborhood's Cold War rocket. Until then, here is a happy little GIF of Lenin that I stole from the Leninade site.
