Interesting subject and the colours are nice blends of green and yellow shades. I quite agree that the marketing idea of this product being a flag for the "anti-drug" campaign is utterly stupid. What do they think alcohol is? Nothing wrong with a quiet drink or two, but to say it is an answer to drug addiction is completely dumb.
Anyway, good note and nice shot.

I read about this and I heard this name when the Russian were in our neighboring country but when one have not this stuff he can't imagine about but like me I've not tasted alcohol in my 54 years of life but they when drink in movies and the gesture they show that I can imagine that this tastes like vinegar very strong and sharp might my this statement make some one laugh but same that I never slept with any lady but my wife and I know this will make double laugh.

How preposterous indeed to have this be the "flagship" product against drug addiction - it's like fighting fire with fire, or as you put it, "trying to scare off a dog with salami" ... This posting is a great example where the combination of picture and note excels in providing a meaningful statement. Well done, Maria.

Yes - this seams to be a problem world wide - Here the producers has gone even further - they take the vodka - mix it with a soft drink so it holds 5% spirit and finally they put it in a funny colourful bottle - and put a little sign "Only for adult" on.

Also thanks for your note Maria - I got your points and like the one with scaring the dog.

Yes, very crazy Maria! I read your story and that´s the way it works, people are more interested in making money so they do this kind of marketing! You took a great shot, showing the details of the bottle, this almost could work as marketing picture if it wasn´t about MAry Jane we were talking about!

Well done

Nice, grainy picture of the bottle, tighly cropped, the frame fits very well with. your notes are very good, and I'm glad I can rate notes nowadays. I like to read something about a picutre, or the thoughts behind it. Well done

We live in a "Crazy mixed up World!"
Another great composition from you Maria, I particularly like the green frosted colours here, the grain is great and adds to the overall greatness of the image.
Good work, well done.
