In your mind, what’s the difference between a Molotov Cocktail and a gasoline bomb?

I'm not sure what the original poster was thinking, but I know that if you put crushed Styrofoam in the bottle before pouring in the gasoline, the resultant conflagration resembles napalm.

I spent some time with some Army combat engineers “a long time ago” who told me a proper Molotov cocktail contains gasoline, laundry detergent powder, and marbles.
