    It's the reason for some of the greatest beer commercials in history.

    That is all.

    That is not all. It is also the reason for once-a-year special deals at your local bar on Corona.

    It still inspires a great line from "Born in East L.A."
    Our heroes are sneaking back into America after being falsely accused of being native Mexicans. I'll paraphrase:

    "Hey! Are they having a celebration or something?"

    "Yeah, it's Cinco De Mayo I think."

    "So what is that all about?"

    " I don't know, but they do this every year about this time." :rofl:

    And the other truth about Cinqo de Mayo is that it's really just the day after Lisping Jedi Day ("May the forth be with you . . .")

    Heck - I was always wondering what the fuss was about.
    But then it fits; Boys day requires beer.....










    In Japan, May 5th is Boys Day. The boys (ALL of them) celebrate and get gifts.
