Wow, this thread is old but since May 5th is quickly approaching I thought I’d dig it up.
It has been interesting to see this relatively obscure day morph into a minor beer drinking holiday over the past couple of years, at least here in Texas. I’ve heard latin-themed jingles on the airwaves rave about Corona, margaritas and fajitas. A local Tex-Mex joint sports a large banner in front of the restaurant that reads, “Your local Cinco de Mayo HQs.” Party-favors and tequila specials are on sale everywhere…
So my question is, has this marketing bonanza reached your part of the states?
