Post memes, art, articles, questions, anything you'd like as long as it's about Latin America. Try to tag your posts with the language used, check the tags used above for reference (and don't forget to put some lime and salt to it).

Here's a handy resource to understand some of the many, many colloquialisms we like to use across the region.

The funniest part is reading about how Vicente Fox was a Coca Cola shill.

Back in the 1960s, young Coca-Cola truck driver and future president, Vicente Fox Quesada, began a personal campaign to outsell Pepsi. He once openly bragged that he’d punch the tires of Pepsi trucks and remove their bottles before they could be refilled. In a word, years before Mexico’s neoliberal period, Fox was a small-time gangster for Coca-Cola.

Also:

Vicente Fox’s financial and political success was enmeshed with the Coca-Cola company — it was said he drank 12 Cokes a day.
