Hola Chulas y Chulos! How are you guys? My chancla and I are doing well thank you very mucho. Today we wanna hit you with a some knowledge about Mexican life hacks that really should be used by everyone.
We feel that these skills must be passed on to non-Mexicans and to all future generations. Some are so useful that they’ve already made their way into usage by the general public and people will be all, “that’s not Mexican, I do that and I’m not Mexican.” Mmhmm, you can appropriate all you want, but let’s be real: you can steal a hack from Mexicans, but that doesn’t stop it from being Mexican.
Here are a few of my favorite Mexican hacks:
When you are eating real tacos …
Not the kind from Taco Bell, but the ones that are made with two tiny corn tortillas each, you can and should turn one taco into two.
Do not use chemicals to clean your grill.
Cebollas will get the job done and are all natural.
Know the power of massage.
There are very few things that can’t be cured by a good massage or Vick’s Vaporub, of course.
Set up DIY home alarms.
They work just as well as the expensive ones gringos use.
For water – go to the source.
Plastic bottles are bad for the environment and manguera water was fresh at some point.
When going to the movies ALWAYS BYOC.
Bring your own concessions. Don’t waste your money on over-priced concession. Instead invest in a fake designer bag and fill it with your favorite snacks.
