Inspired by the increasing civil disorder gripping the streets of Turkey, the Riot Raki is essentially a [molotov cocktail kit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kraken-rum-1). The label, which is cloth instead of paper, easily peels off in order to be stuffed into the neck of the bottle and lit as an incendiary weapon. Created by artist duo Manuel Urbanke and Maximilian Hoch, the Riot Raki also reflects the [current alcohol debate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/absolut-haring-artist-edition-bottle) taking place in Turkey. A clever concept through and through, it is not only socially aware, it is also well-designed. People will be attracted to the Riot Raki for a few reasons. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Protest-inspired Products:** Opportunity for businesses to create products that reflect the social and political upheaval in society - **Controversial Packaging:** Opportunity to create packaging that challenges norms and sparks conversations - **Transformation of Traditional Products:** Opportunity to transform traditional products into something more relevant and provocative ### Where This Applies - **Alcohol:** Alcohol industry can disrupt the market by creating provocative and socially relevant products - **Packaging:** Opportunity for the packaging industry to create packaging that sparks conversations and makes a statement - **Art:** Art industry can disrupt the market by creating thought-provoking and socially conscious products ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Propellant Charge Tube-Housed Vodkas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ukrainian-spirit.md) - [Aristically Adorned Canned Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artistic-canned-cocktail.md) - [Stackable Bottled Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloc-bottled-cocktails.md) - [Jeweler-Created Rum Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/havana-club-aejo-7-aos-bottle.md) - [Limited-Edition Aniseed Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ricard.md) - [Ready-to-Pour Tinned Spirits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/departed-spirits.md) - [Neo-Pop Rum Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dictador-game-changer.md) - [Conceptual Craft Beer Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sour-glass.md) - [Redesigned Cultural Rum Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/havana-club-x-martine-rose.md)
