most restaurants I have been in have had "Mexican coffee" on the menu for better than 10 years..in fact it's probably been at least 25 years since the first time I saw it offerred. And the first place I ever saw it listed on a menu was in an Irish Pub in NYC.

Some folks just don't get out much! (other than to WalMart so they can post a thread telling us how much they hated it!)

"I was in a restaurant the other day and they had Mexican coffee as a dessert item. Apparently coffee with Kahlua mixed in. Just another nail in the coffin of the U.S.A."
OK, lets boycott coffee and Kahlua.
This thread must get the prize for being the most reticule's one of the month.
I see so many post that make ZERO sense.

So, if I understand you correctly, It's the small local small business' fault for not competing properly? It is the opinion of this consumer that you are painting with a very wide brush.
If it wasn't Wal Mart, it would have been something else..
Well don't leave me hangin' here, do elaborate. So far today I have been called an isolationist, a tree hugger and a complete economic moron. So let's go with the latter and explain to me how you can wrap up ALL "Ma & Pa" stores doing themselves in.

>>>Walmart is not supporting liberal causes, as Ben and Jerry's, or Starbucks, or a host of other leftist companies<<<
Wal-mart gave $640,000 to the National Council de la Raza.
Looks like twice what they gave the Demos.

Did you fill out a "How are we doing?" card at the Customer Service desk? Might bring results.

I disagree. I saw lots of St. Patrick's Day items.

Cinco de Mayo began in California (started by 4 students at UC) in the late sixties. I am surprised to hear that it has become a big holiday in Brasil.
May 1 is a big deal in South America. In Brazil it is also their "Labor Day".
Cinco de Mayo commemorates the first victory of Mexican forces, against the French in 1862. Mexico did not actually become independent until 1873 and Mexican indepence day is celebrated in September.

St. Patrick's day is about celebrating the life of a Saint. That's a joke, right? Maybe in your mass but not in the bars and parties where most celebrate the day. There, people who are not even Catholic "celebrate" St. Patrick's day by drinking themselves unconscious while wearing green and singing Irish songs.

It's called good customer relations, on both the part of the small business folks and the WalMart folks. I was at Wal-Mart yesterday looking for a dehydrator, they told me they didn't have them in yet because it is a seasonal item but she thought Menard's might have them.
I went to Menard's and they didn't have any either but they suggested that I try Wal-Mart.
That's good business on both their parts.

The bureaucratic oligarchy/military industrial complex Ike warned about is alive and very successfully well.
And the global government is looming.
Some early details were recorded 2,000 years and more ago . . . in . . . Daniel, Ezekiel, Matthew, and Revelation.
And, AboveTopSecret.com has a lot more info on such.
The ride is starting to get interesting. And, an "E" ticket will not begin to pay for it.
Try . . . your life, your goods, your country.
What a lovely day in the neighborhood.
Neighborhood . . . where street to street fighting seems probable given Mexico, . . . and a host of other puppet master stooges designed to take us down several notches so they can raise the NWO global government on top of our rubble.
What a lovely, clever plan.

This is only a recent phenomenon do to pandering by retailers. Like they do at Easter, Christmas, and other so called Holidays.
So must I celebrate this Mexican holiday?
No one is forcing you to celebrate Cinco de Mayo any more than any one is forcing you to celebrate Christmas. If you dont want any of the goods related to Cinco de Mayo, dont buy any. Seems fair and simple to me. And if you are offended by Mexican music one day a year, then shut your mouth when others complain about being bombarded with Christmas music. What a hypocrite.

I was at Wal-Mart yesterday looking for a dehydrator, they told me they didn't have them in yet because it is a seasonal item but she thought Menard's might have them. Canning jars are also a seasonal item in the local WalMart, but they told me which hardware store/garden center I should go to for them. That was in January.....I haven't bothered checking WM again for jars, I seriously doubt they could beat the prices this place charges, and it's closer (price of gas, ya know...LOL)
That's good business on both their parts.
Exactly my point..........
I know, I know - I need to get back outside :)

The madness doesn't stop there. The frozen food sections of our supermarkets are rapidly being given over to frozen burritos, enchiladas, taquitos and a host of other ethnic foods from Mexico. Whatever happened to good old turkey pot pies by Swanson and manly "TV Dinners" like the Hungry Man that featured cranberry sauce in the corner of the tray with tin foil on top (that always burned your fingers when you peeled it away)?
Furthermore, you go waltzing down the potato chip aisle and there you are confronted with bag after bag of tortilla chips. All different types. Whatever happened to good old American Frito corn chips?
The decay of our culture continues when you go to the spaghetti aisle. There, good old Franco-American Spaghetti-Os and Hunts Tomato Sauce are losing shelf space to an assemblage of "taco kits" and a dizzying array of taco sauces, refried beans, pinto beans, enchilada sauce, canned chile rellenos and those pre-made "taco shells" in which half of them are broken by the time you get them home.
Adding insult to injury, when you get to the produce section you now have all these jalapeno peppers and habeneros with a bunch of "hot sauces" that burn your tongue. I believe these hot sauces are a conspiracy by the Mexicans to bring us Americans to submission. How can we fight the invasion when our tongues are burning with "extra spicy habanero sauce". Drinking water only makes the pain worse too. I'm sure that's part of the plan. They want to make us hate drinking our own water.
