| |
| − | {{w|Vodka}} is a {{w|distilled beverage}} composed primarily of water and ethanol, sometimes with traces of impurities and flavorings. Traditionally, vodka is made by the distillation of fermented cereal grains or {{w|potatoes}}, though some modern brands use other substances, such as fruits or sugar.

| − | However, in this comic, it is as if the substance of vodka itself is talking, and discussing its origin (potatoes).

| − | The title text gives the impression that the vodka isn't really sure it's made from potatoes. However, vodkas are often repeatedly distilled to remove the "fore-shots", "heads" and "tails," which contain flavor compounds. Removal of these leaves a clear solution consisting almost entirely of ethanol and water.
