I get it, “cola” is a type of carbonated soft drink, but if you promise me a bigger butt at a moment when I’m trying to shed my COVID weight, well, just move on. Nobody here needs a bigger cola.
Move over Con-chamacos! Mexican Mother’s Day is today, so Panadería KaryCar, a pastry shop in Jalisco, had the awesome idea of launching the con-chanclas, a concha/chancla combination that is going to make your mamá very happy.
Now… if they only worked a bit harder on their grammar, because, as y’all know: #AccentsMatter

No matter how many bizarre holidays Americans come up with, Cinco de Mayo will forever be my favorite. And not only because it’s an excuse to drink all day and yell ¡Viva México! while thinking it’s Mexican Independence (it’s not) but because it is also the time of year that brings out the stupidest most creative marketing brains to sell Americans everything, from DIY printable fiesta kits and taquito shooters (whatever that is,) to senseless drink mixes, “ethnic food” and even life-size cardboard Mexicans as scene setters.
This time around, though, in honor of that amazing marketing tool known as Twitter, I’ve put together a few tweets making their way to my timeline using the #CincoDeMayo hashtag. This has only begun, so, please help me by tweeting me your own personal horrors for 2021 Cinco de Mayo and let the “Mexican” madness begin!
Happy #CincodeMayo! Chef Christine has a special Chocolate Churro doughnut today at all shops! Enjoy this cinnamon sugary, chocolate ganache-y beauty with a cup of @CompassCoffeeDC.

Pizza Hut Australia tweeted the above image to its followers asking what they’d prefer on their pizza: “avocado dip” (whatever that means) or -I assume- a regular topping. I’m too busy to elaborate right now, but it is my opinion that multinationals should just leave aguacates alone.
… oh and don’t get me started on the copy.

FIFA on Friday officially unveiled La’eeb, the official mascot of the upcoming 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
La’eeb, FIFA explains, is an Arabic word meaning “super-skilled player” and it is here to “encourage everyone to believe in themselves.”
But, as this blogger rightly expected, La’eeb was quickly embraced by the Mexican meme machine, with one Twitter user rapidly turning him into a trapo para las tortillas.

It is official: Sunday night’s infamous Oscar slap has now been immortalized in the form of a piñata thanks to the folks of famed Piñatería Ramírez in northern Mexico.
The Will Smith & Jada Pinkett Smith piñatas come as a bundle with some questionable looks on either character, but omg look at those tears!
In case you’re wondering, being immortalized in the shape of a piñata is as prestigious as having been inducted into the Mexican historical hall of fame.

Reddit Mexico has been abuzz with an overwhelming outcry against a South African corn chip snack.
The reason? Apparently, some Mexicans feel it’s super offensive to depict “one of our own” with a caricature of a mustachioed dude, wearing a giant sombrero and flanked by a cactus.
I get it, with the exception of yours truly, not all Mexicans like to wear giant sombreros when attending “culturally-relevant” parties. Yet, I’m much more offended by the look of these sad chips -and their apparent lack of delicious spicy flavor (or should I say “flavour?”)

Move over tamales en bolsita, here come the esquites en bolsita, or as I like to call them, “The Esquites Pouch.”
These babies are also from La Costeña and can be found in your local Mexican supermarket for only $30 pesitos. Because nothing is sacred anymore.

It is official: Simon Leviev (aka Yehuda Hayut and the Tinder Swindler, has been immortalized in the form of a piñata thanks to the folks of famed Piñatería Ramírez in northern Mexico.
The Tinder Swindler piñata comes with –what else?– a bunch of credit cards on his left hand, and a romantic bouquet of roses on his right. Oh, and look at those shoes!

Are you still in lockdown, on a tight budget for fancy avocados and still haven’t made any “ethnic-looking” friends?
Worry not!
You can now buy 5-feet-tall Mexican “scene setters,” ready to assemble and give your Super Bowl party a unique fiesta touch. It’s as easy as bashing a piñata! Besides, with the pandemic still in full swing, WHO NEEDS REAL PEOPLE AROUND, ANYWAY?
For only a few bucks, you can pretend to have real Mexicans at your birthday, bautizo, quinceañera, wedding, etc. These Insta-Mexicans are over 5 feet high; they won’t eat all the tamales, nor gulp all the beer or crash in your living room forever.
So, what are you waiting for? Go get your Instant Mexicans ahorita mismo!*
*I bet these are totally Made in China, but just pretend you didn’t read this note at all.
Football Americano? Nah…
I’ve never been fond of this so-called sport and was not going to watch it this year either, but…
I just learned that San Antonio’s renowned mini mariachi singer, Mateo López, is the star of one of the ads.
According to KSAT, the seven-year-old makes a brief appeareance in Smith’s minute-long commercial promoting the premiere of the revamped “Bel-Air,” a spinoff series from “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.”
So, yup, babies, I’ll be watching!
Just look at him! 😍
