The American Cinco de Mayo celebrations was invented by Budweiser who was looking for a hook to push the Corona beer they were brewing and selling here (now Corona is self brewed and distributed in America, back then Bud did it). It’s often celebrated eating nachos which were invented in Texas and chimichangas which were invented in Tucson. Don’t let the Spanish name fool you, in America Cinco de Mayo is an American holiday.

Wrong! Cinco de Mayo began as a regional holiday in the Mexican state of Puebla to commemorate the Mexican army’s unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862.

And Cindy McCain is the heiress to the biggest Bud distributorship around.
