And his statement is incorrect. mission would be a close second, he spends about 5-6 weeks a year between Mexico City, Guadalajara, beach resorts, and his import facilities in the border towns, a great cross section of the Mexican culture. Not many people know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh. I leave the like for posterity. And tbh the idea of you two pouring over numbers for your rankings and wondering what the impact of Cinco de Mayo might have on Mexico's ability to export Cheesy Gordita Crunches and Baja Blast is pretty funny.
