There are several legends about its name. One tells that the name of the region is derived from strașnic, a Romanian adjective that can mean "scary", "terrible", and the story goes that in former times this region was covered by a fearsome forest.

Nowadays, Strășeni is famous for its wine. The Strășeni vineyard, 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) west of Chișinău, is renowned for its sparkling white wines. A little farther north is the Romănești winery, one of the largest locally and the one-time leading producer of wines in the USSR. One of its more famous products is a Bordeaux-type red.

gollark: To just waste CPU cycles, this has worked for me before when I wanted to do that for some evil reason or other, but it's probably not very sound:```cvolatile long long int i = 0;while (i < [a big number]) { i++; }```
gollark: Oh right, probably.
gollark: If you do just need to make it do something for a bit, maybe just```cfor (int i = 0; i < 100000000; i++) {}```or something would work, though compilers are getting crafty and might optimize it.
gollark: Is there some reason you can't just use whatever language's equivalent of `sleep(1)` or something?
