And if your colleagues and boss welcomed you with a elephantine ceremony fit for a Rajah ? Aditi Technologies in India, did the same for their new employees. Giving new meaning to the term ‘smashing pumpkins’.
Sangaria sells faux alcohol beer (complete with foaming goodness) made specially for children. The name of their fiendishly clever creation is ‘Kodomo no nomimono’ (Children’s Drink) or as I like to call it ‘get dem yung‘. The beer comes in bottles, cans and apparently in six packs for those secret tree-house parties.
To cope with the rising demand and keeping in mind their social responsibilities, Sangaria has diversified into the production of fake wine, cocktails and champagne. Their kid-friendly website features beer themed riddles, videos, a gallery full of drunken glassy-eyed tykes enjoying their favorite tipple and a weird mascot who likes to dance on grapes.

We will have to make do with the unauthorized underground stuff, floating around the Internets. Watch this unofficial piece of Calvin & Hobbes animation, created by Donato Di Carlo as a project for the CFP Milano Film School in Italy. The short film is in Italian with English subtitles. Notice how Calvin has some very Italian hand movements. Great Stuff.
