Russian marketing specialists continue to believe that the name of the Russian Prime Minister sells, the Bulgarian information agency BGNES writes, citing international sources.

A new, canned meal is being introduced on the grocery market, whose jar boosts a label stating "Cabbage and Mushroom Miracle Putin". The manufacturers hope that due to the wide-spread support for the Russian PM, the meal would become very popular among consumers.

On the label the name Putin is written with bright white letters next to the image of the double-headed eagle - the symbol of Russia.

The canned meal is made in the food processing plant in the city of Astrakhan and is sold mostly in the Siberian mining towns' grocery stores.

The author of an article on the subject, published in the Russian daily "Novaya Gazetta", however, seems unimpressed with the new food staple and advises consumers to combine the vegetable mix with vodka "Putinka" (also named after the former Russian President and current PM) so that they would be able to swallow it without noticing its taste.
