Description

Highlights of this episode include diving into the flavorful confusion of Cinco de Mayo - a holiday more famous for tacos and tequila than its actual historical roots. We’ll uncover how a single battle in Puebla became a symbol of resistance, then somehow evolved into America’s favorite excuse for margaritas on a weeknight. From French invaders to corporate takeovers, we’ll trace the wild journey of this misunderstood holiday. Packed with history, fun facts, and just enough cultural snark to impress your friends, this episode will leave you party-ready - even if your knowledge of Mexican history begins and ends with a taco truck.
