Yikes! I guess you got a point when you put it that way..Maybe I should think like that when someone says hey wanna crispy creme?
Oh well I am somewhat of a risk taker....Just play it safe during the week so I can partake in weekend pleasures!
Because they pronounce it "Chebby"
I think the rule is "sh" before i except before b...
Common across the third world. Its done in the Philippines and was done as far as I know in Thailand and Vietnam.
In other words, nobody knows.
This guy seems to know that these questions do not require historically accurate answers, just funny retorts.
To keep out the cholos.
(from the Daily Texican):
"U see a lot of people call me a cholo and frankly i dont think im, so maybe i put a little too much starch on my dickies but thats just the way i waz raized cuz I waz born in los angeles but I got shot twice in a drive by 2 years ago and move to houston with my mom Ive never been in a gang but even though the people at school got me on lockdown asking me about anything that happens and i hate it cuz they be judging me just cuz im brown and my step dad dryves a lolo i hate this pinche gringos so what i mean by this is that if wear starched kakis and drives lowridaz it doesnt mean that u are a cholo im thirteen years old and these people think im gonna jack their cars as soon as they turn around."

A cholo is term implying a Hispanic male that typically dresses in chinos (khahki pants), a wifebeater sleeveless teeshirt or a flannel shirt with only the top buttoned, a hairnet, or with a bandana around the forehead, usually halfway down over the eyes. Cholos often have black ink tattoos, commonly involving Catholic imagery, or calligraphy messages or family names.
Cholos often drive low riders.
A farcical example of a cholo from the movies is Cheech, from Cheech and Chong.

True...but if they used that same font and all caps...I couldn't tell the difference between O'Malley and Juarez. ;)
This is so you don't walk off with the bottle (and they get stuck paying the deposit).
I've seen the same thing in other countries.
Now, why baggies instead of cups? No idea, unless they are cheaper than cups.
I've been readin through the back columns of "Ask a Mexican" and that issue is actually addressed here:

basically claiming it's a prison culture thing ...
Many local high schools banned Raiders garb a long while back for similar reasons. Still, lots of "sportswear" is donned by folks who could give a rat's a$$ about organized sports intending to identify themselves in another manner ... or, alternately, to blend into a foreign culture. It's been a sport o' sorts for some time now to chat up those so attired on public transit about their team's prospects, the odds, last night's game, etc.
Well...now that he mentions it...it does seem a bit familiar. LOL I think I was better off just thinking it was a poor artistic choice.
A long ago a friend of mine used to buy the best-tasing tamales from a street vendor in Amarillo Texas. After some years the vendor was shut down on account of the tamales' canine and feline ingredients. "But they sure were good!"
