When Molotov claimed in radio broadcasts that they were not bombing, but rather delivering food to the starving Finns, the Finns started to call the air bombs Molotov bread baskets.
Da Molotov i radioudsendelser hævdede, at man ikke bombede, men snarere kastede mad ned til sultende finner, begyndte finnerne at kalde bomberne for Molotov-brødkasser.
