Launched in Serbia (of all places) is a line of fruit juice whose bottles bear the names and images of notorious leaders such as Fidel Castro, Saddam Hussein and Josip Broz Tito.
It is the brain child of award-winning Serbian film director Emir Kusturica, who has opened a small fruit juice factory in his western village of Drvengrad.
According to a Russian newspaper Guevara would be honoured with the flavour of raspberry, Castro with blackberry, Tito with blueberry, and Kusturica strawberry. It is also rumoured that Argentine football legend Maradona would also be honoured with his own Juice.
There are currently no plans to distribute the juice world wide. Not a great tradgedy, as I for one cant face the thought of drinking George Bush's or Tony Blair's juice. Could you?
