What is the name of the bottles that people set on fire and throw through windows? Is it a mai-tai cocktail? I was asking because someone did this to several places in a town near mine... and I know it sounds horrible, but I just couldn't remember the name of those things.. and I hate to get something stuck in my head like that, not knowing its name! :confused:

It should be in any newspaper article that did a story on it I would think.


I don't know how it is spelled either but I know everybody I know pronounces it like mosiltof

I'm not sure either. Many years ago when I was a really young little girl I believe someone tried to do that to a friend of mine's family. I can't imagine why other then them being Lebanese. We were playing with barbies in the living room when there was a dreadful bang on the front door and when we checked there was a boot print and a dropped bottle the was full of some sort of liquid and a burnt out piece of paper in the top. I guess he had intended to kick the door in and throw it but ran off cowardly when he failed to do it in one kick. Terrible people do terrible things.
