sounds like a marketing gimmick to me.

No doubt by the same folks who insist that kwanza and cinco de mayo are
"traditional American holidays".



around here (tucson) cinco de mayo is a big deal. really....

Probably bigger here in Texas ... BUT, it is a Mexican holiday, not an
American one, and still only a "marketing gimmick" in the latter ... at
least until we start celebrating Bastille day too, out of political
correctness.



tucson was part of mexico not all that long ago. there are still
plenty of families here who were here, then.
