Even Aliens Know Mexican Avocados are out of this World

Avocados From Mexico is back on the Super Bowl advertising game with #AvosInSpace, its latest TV commercial that is scheduled to make its official debut on Sunday, during the Big Game in San Francisco.

While the spot is not as adorable as that of last year (remember the polar bear clad in mariachi gear voting for Mexico?) it does a good job highlighting the ridiculousness of what the human race has become.

In the spot we see a bunch of aliens in a spaceship learning about human culture and our most unique Earthly possessions, which include emojis, torture devices (aka airplanes) chia pets and — oh dear — the infamous dress — or as the aliens refer to it, “the white and gold dress that caused a civil war.”

During a brief tour, the guide tells aliens about the most amazing thing of all: The avocados from Mexico, which are always in season, so you can enjoy them all year long.

Swiss Entrepreneurs Create ‘Magical Machine’ to Make $1 Tortillas

Mariachi hat: Proof their invention is legit

And just when I thought technology couldn’t get any more ridiculous awesome, a group of sombrero-wearing geniuses hailing from Switzerland have invented Flatev, a machine that promises to deliver “fresh, authentic tortillas in seconds.” In seconds, people, SECONDS!

And what’s the magic behind this thing? Pods, people, pods!

Per the startup’s Website, Flatev uses pods to produce ready-to-eat tortillas. One pod per tortilla.

Think of it like a coffee machine that makes flatbread. Instead of ground coffee, our pods are filled with fresh dough with natural and healthy ingredients.

Why be like Rosa when you can make $1 tortillas?
Why be like Rosa when you can make $1 tortillas?

The best part? Each pod produces one tortilla and each pod will cost you “only” $0.90.  (That is after plunking down about $300 for the actual “magical tortilla machine.”)

WATCH the video [below] to learn how to get Rosa out of the kitchen and replace her with a Flatev thing instead.

Remember McDonald’s German mariachi?

Well, hold on to your sombreros, because now it’s Pizza Hut’s turn to give us yet another revolting concoction that it dares calling “Mexican.”

Pizza Hut’s New Zealand is introducing the “Ultimate Mexican Pizza,” a “flavourful” combination of nachos, quesadillas, jalapeños and stuffed cheese crust, because Why-The-Hell-Not?

In a nutshell: ¡Guácala!

Mucus Loves Taco Tuesday; Vows to Wear Sombrero to Go out

mucinextacoI am not really a fan of mucus or mucus-related marketing, but this disgusting creature has earned a spot on this venerable blog, mostly because of his apparent love of tacos.

Watch mucus as he gets ready for Taco Tuesday only to be put down by some white guy armed with 12-hour Mucinex.

It ain’t happening, moco, so you’d better keep your sombrero for some other time. Cinco de mayo, perhaps?

Here’s What I’ll be Doing this Thanksgiving

For the many readers of this blog who have not asked: I’m going to spend the long weekend helping this nice lady teach her turkey behave like a civilized creature -once and for all.

If unsuccessful, we’re just going to roast the thing, dip it in mole sauce and make ourselves a delicious dinner, which I’m sure will make PETA enthusiasts cringe.

Happy Thanksgiving! [or, as my Caribbean neighbors would say: Happy Sansgivin’]

Are You Guys Ready for Creme-Filled OREO Churros? I’m NOT

And just when I thought marketers had ran out of ridiculous, Hispanic-themed “foodstuffs,” corporate America is proud to introduce the Creme-filled OREO Churros, which according to a very detailed and unnecessary long press release, have “a crispy exterior, warm soft interior and real OREO cookie pieces in every bite.”

The “innovative snack” (LOL) will be sold nationwide starting immediately.

I cannot wait to… pass on these things.

Sunday is National Taco Day and the Augusta Police Department is on it

Sunday Oct. 4 is National Taco Day in the U.S. (don’t ask) and everyone is really excited.

And by everyone I mean everyone.

Take the Augusta Police Department in Maine, that will be holding a taco eating contest starting at 3 p.m.

According to the Augusta, Main Facebook page, the first eater to finish a ‘Taco Gigante’ will earn $250 donation to the charity of their choice. The event will take place at Margaritas Augusta –naturally.

Now…. as this blog went to press (LOL) this blogger had no idea where Augusta, Maine was, nor why the Police Department there is holding a Taco Gigante eating contest in Margaritas Augusta.

However, this thing must be so important that the local media is hyping the event, and even writing an article that starts with ¡OLE!… Because, as everybody knows, if it has to do with tacos and margaritas, it might have something to do with the Spaniards.

¡Ole!
¡Ole!
