Is it news that the Russians drink too much and then do a lot of stupid stuff?
But on the other hand, it is the nation of world famous inventors: H-bomb and vodka were created by them.
Now see, they created something new – platinum chewing gum.
But they can’t keep secrets because they love their previous invention – magic vodka.
What is so special about the platinum chewing gum?
Does it help by any chance not to get drunk by sipping vodka?
Holy ghost!!!! Then they made a really genius thing!
Can you imagine Russia with Russians drinking vodka and not getting drunk...?
Can you imagine Motherland Russia with Platinum Gum chewing, Ferrari driving
neo rich wealthy Glamour savvy drunk Russian Bears on the streets of Moscow and Petersburg.
Wow.....that’s the deadly combination of being fast and furious.
In other words.. a Platinum Life...a Beauty ( Platinum Chewing Gum) and the Beast ( Russian Bear) with a bottle of Vodka in hand...that’s a Pt-Bomb.
