This Bear Loves Enchiladas -and you Shouldn’t Mess with it

~ Mi Blog es tu Blog ~ Leave a comment


A black bear terrorized a mom and her son when he leapt on their picnic table and started going after their tacos, French fries and enchiladas.

Per The Associated Press:

Silvia Macías of Mexico City had traveled to the Chipinque Park in the northern city of Monterrey to celebrate the 15th birthday of her son, Santiago, who has Down syndrome.

Soon after they sat down to eat the food they brought, the bear showed up and gulped down french fries, enchiladas, tacos and – of course- plenty of salsa.

I would have totally panicked -and not only for losing my enchiladas.

Here’s a video shot by Macias friend, Angela Chapa, that has since gone viral.

Calavera-Themed Pringles Potato Chips are so Authentic they’re ‘Flavored con Sabor’

~ Mi Blog es tu Blog ~ 1 Comment

Move over, Kickin’ Chicken Taco Pringles, here come the calavera-themed sour cream & onion “Flavored con sabor” Pringles potato chips, especially crafted to bring out the mustachioed, calavera-clad Mexican (fake or not) in you.

I have no idea what these babies cost, but given their Mexican authentic look (i.e. mariachi suit and chip-themed sombrero) I bet they cost a fortune –as they should be!

p.s. Oh, did I mention they GLOW IN THE DARK?

The New York Post Wants you to Know AMLO is El Chapo’s Son

~ Mi Blog es tu Blog ~ Leave a comment

On the heels of yet another international embarassment, Mexico made headlines (again) on Friday, when the U.S. Department of Justice announced the extradition of Ovidio Guzmán López, a son of former Sinaloa cartel leader Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzmán, to the United States.

“This action is the most recent step in the Justice Department’s effort to attack every aspect of the cartel’s operations,” Garland said, according to the AP.

So far so good, but it looks like New York City tabloid The New York Post seems to have “otros datos” as they are reporting that El Chapo’s son is – in fact – Andrés Manuel López Obrador (!) Or at least one can deduct that from the above photo caption.

Huge if true, as the kids say…

UFO ‘Experts’ Go to Mexican Congress, Show Proof of Non-Human Mummies, Hilarity Ensues

~ Mi Blog es tu Blog ~ Leave a comment

This week Mexico made International headlines – again – and not because of our awesome, September-themed delicious meals or for yet another scary temblor.

This time, our national embarassment hails from an unusual presentation at the Mexican Congress, where lawmakers heard testimony from a group of UFO “experts” who suggested the possibility that extraterrestrials might exist.

Yeah, NOT making this up.

Per The Associated Press:

Mexican journalist José Jaime Maussan presented two boxes with supposed mummies found in Peru, which he and others consider “non-human beings that are not part of our terrestrial evolution.”

Maussan was part of a group of researchers who showed up at the storied Mexican Congress building to display a couple of shriveled bodies with shrunken, warped heads who – according to this blogger – looked more like the bastard children of E.T. and Baby Yoda.

Mexico being Mexico, the whole thing became not only an international embarassment but – of course – a source of so many memes this blogger cannot stop laughing.
