Natural Cures

Mexicans like to believe in natural cures.  It dates back to small villages not having access to a doctor.  Some of my favorites include:

Fever- Drink 7Up

Upset Stomach- Tecate with lots of lime juice (this one works with enough doses)

Constipation- Call your mom’s friend’s Aunt who know how to do this weird massage ritual thingy.

Stuffy Nose- Grandma’s Chile Verde

Heartbreak- Suaza Hornitos, 6 pack of…you guessed it, and a radio

Hangover- Menudo.  Crudo? Try Menudo!

#4 Jeans With No Butt Pockets

A lot of Mexican girls can be found wearing these.  The content of their purses:

Eyeliner

Dark red lipstick

Metro PCS cellphone (here’s the ringtone)

Aqua Net

2 Tampax Heavy Flow Plus.  You know, for the heaviest flow days.

#3 Naming Businesses Michoacan

Michoacan is a state in Mexico. It’s also the name of every other Mexican proprietorship.

Taqueria Michoacan, Panderia Michoacan, Video Michoacan, Barberia Michoacan,  The list goes on and on.

p.s. See that beer sign?

#2 The Last Supper Painting

Mexican people predominately display this in their kitchens.  Mexicans feel good knowing that while eating posole, Jesus is never too far away.

#1 Bud Light

This beer is a staple among Mexicans.  It is required to be present at all Baby Showers, Easters, Birthdays, and First Communions.

Mexicans use this beer to celebrate, to mourn, and to marinate steaks.

While bottles are good, smart Mexicans go for the cans. Recycling them for cash is part of the Mexican way.
