Simpsons fan?

From English Russsia:

In some Russian shops nowadays you can buy yourself a bottle of a drink with a Harry Potter portrait on it.

I highly doubt if any copyright was reserved, and the most interesting thing is not copyright here.

The soft drink with Harry Potter face on it is named “BURATINO”. What does this word mean? “BURATINO” is some kind of Russia Pinocchio. Same wooden doll moving around, but his nose doesn’t grow when he lies.

In Soviet Russia there was a very popular soft drink named after him. So in modern Russia businessmen try to make their kind of “Buratino” drink so that to play on the nostalgie sense of the elder generation.

But this Harry Potter Buratino drink is a mix of two totally different things in one.

It’s not a Buratino and it’s not a Harry Potter. And notice there is somebody from Simpsons is also depicted on this cool drink.

I have to go now, my brain hurts looking at this.
