As Seen in Mexico, Final Chapter & CINCO DE MAYO & Last Day to Win a Case of Cabo Chips!
Junk Food Nation, it’s CINCO DE MAYO! And I’ve had it explained to me several times what this day represents, and I still don’t understand why its a holiday. The Junk Food Gal, a Latina, told me it’s not the same sort of celebration Mexico that it is here in the US, but when has that ever stopped us. mARGARITAASSSSSS!!!!
Remember, today is the LAST DAY to get all your tweets in to win a case of Cabo Chips! Rules and details here.
Because it’s Cinco De Mayo, I thought I’d go through the very last of my Mexico pics…from four months ago. Oh shut it and enjoy.

The perfect place to start every day, no? The real question is, why does Dick’s have an apostrophe?

Even the gas stations in Mexico had ready ingredients to make guacamole! Loved it. I’ll take a tank of gas, a Men’s Health magazine, and some lime/avocado/pepper.

Hot Nuts. Nuff said.

These soy/rice covered nuts were rather tasty, and equally offensive! Win win.

To be eaten when you’re…well, you know…

Saltines looks so much more exciting in Mexico!

I actually did bring this back from Mexico with me, so I’ll have to review it soon. Microwave popcorn that is flavored like Valentina, a Mexican hot sauce?? Sign me up.

A raccoon is the last animal, even in cartoon form, that I want anywhere near my food.

LIFT is an apple soda made by Coca Cola…I tried it, it was pretty good, as apple sodas go. Wait, ARE there any US-based apple sodas?

Creepy clown on a truck? CHECK!

This was a strip club…and this sign was strangely accurate.

See? The US isn’t the only country with a convenient store that has a sad hot dog roller and a lone scary sodium missile inside. PS: I didn’t eat this.

One of the best things in Mexico are all the street vendors. Pictured above is a woman making fried tacos. YES.

The fruits of the street cart. Fried tortilla, cilantro, onion, beef, and some bits of queso fresca. AMAZING.

Of course, if tacos weren’t your thing, you could always have a No-Name Burger at the airport. I’m sure it’s good, right?
Happy Sunday and Cinco De Mayo!!!!

Would you rather Daiquiri Dick’s not have an apostrophe? At least now, it’s a place owned or operated by a guy named Daiquiri Dick. Without the apostrophe, it’s, I dunno, the male equivalent of the Wet Dreams strip club you posted. I’m good with the apostrophe.
And yes, there are a few apple sodas available in the US. Izze makes one. Also, in Chinese supermarkets, you can get Sidra, which comes from Taiwan.
@Shorneys: oh….you have a point re the apostrophe
I see a trend here, “Junk Food Guy goes to the barber shop, part 8!”
@Nick: The real problem is I take too many pictures generally
