“I write this primarily as a father: Dear sachet vodka company, what you are doing is pure evil. I will not give up on this matter as an MP,” said Szymon Hołownia, Speaker of the Sejm, on Monday, referring to the information that a new product – alcohol in sachets – has hit store shelves. “Shame. Shame. Shame,” Hołownia added.

Vodka in sachets and fruit mousses
In one of the stores, “Voodoo Monkey” alcohol sachets were placed in cartons of Tymbark fruit mousses, as can be seen in a photo published online by Krzysztof Daukszewicz, a councilor of Ursus in Warsaw.
Attorney Piotr Leonarski wrote on the X platform to the president of Maspex, Krzysztof Pawiński, that “someone is harming you (the producer of Tymbark – editor’s note).”
The Tymbark brand and the Maspex Group have nothing to do with this product – replied Dorota Liszka, Maspex spokeswoman.
“Rebel in the world of alcohol”
Alco-tubes are from 100 to 200 ml. These include: peach, pineapple and mango liqueurs. There is also no shortage of vodka sachets, which cost from PLN 8.99 to PLN 9.99. There is another company behind this product – OLV, a manufacturer of fruit purees.
Voodoo Monkey belongs to the joint-stock company OLV. Ironically, its most popular product is healthy Owolovo mousses aimed at children and teenagers – reports “Gazeta Wyborcza”.
Owolovo mousses can be purchased, among others, in the Biedronka chain of stores. “GW” adds that OLV is based in the village of Morszków in the Sokołów district in Masovia.
He is a producer of alcohol tubes emphasizes on the website that “Voodoo Monkey is not just a brand, it is a real rebel in the world of alcohol.”
“We are pioneers who changed the way you experience alcohol by offering it in boldly designed tubes. Our unconventional design with a characteristic voodoo monkey on the packaging reflects our philosophy – we play with conventions and are not afraid to experiment. At Voodoo Monkey, every detail matters – from unique flavors to packaging. Standing at the intersection of art, design and innovation in the alcohol industry, Voodoo Monkey is synonymous with the best quality, creativity and courage,” we read on the manufacturer’s website.
Monkeys in bottles and sachets
The minister raised the issue in August. He said that “monkeys” are bought primarily in the morning and this is a “negative phenomenon” that “arouses concern” also for the Ministry of Health. That’s why the government is thinking about introducing a monkey fee.

Now there will be a situation where the parent or the child will mistakenly reach for alcoholic puree instead of fruit puree. In my opinion, legalization of cannabis is necessary because Poles simply drink alcohol.

Vodka is vodka, as long as it’s cheap and dirty; Apart from bliss, there are only advantages to taxes and excise duty. It is unlikely that there will be right-wingers who, following the example of successful lawsuits harmed by the tobacco industry, will take up the alcohol lobby (producers, traders and state trade supervision)…

The Polish state should intervene immediately – THIS IS AN ENEMY JOB LEADING TO THE DEGRADATION OF POLES!!! STOP PRODUCTION AND PUNISH THE COMPANY!!!
Let them introduce a ban on sales before 12 and the problem will be solved.
and now, in addition to the vulgarity, drug use and sadism of young people – alcoholism will appear… and if there is a misfortune – it will again be the fault of the school, teachers, etc. because the kid took a drink in the toilet and the teacher did not keep an eye on it
Alcohol in sachets outrages everyone, but Mendeleev’s table in food products does not.

It’s the same in Russia, alcohol from everything and everywhere, at every step, at any time.
I’m going to the store to buy a few pieces.
Perfect for breakfast at work, it doesn’t attract attention, perfect for cucumber. And it’s easy to put in your pocket and drink while driving without spilling. Even children can handle Tubek. It’s a beautiful thing, we are finally chasing Europe and not just glass bottles like in the times of the Polish People’s Republic
Have mercy, people! After all, if a child goes to the cash register in a store selling alcohol, no one will probably sell it to him. Alcohol should be in the liquor section of the store, just like alcoholic cans of Coca-Cola and bourbon or gin. The first person to be held accountable in this matter is the shoplifter who placed the sachets on Tymbark’s shelves. People, think!
