Tijuana, gracias a las deportaciones es como estar en toda Latino America en una sola ciudad.

[@jeanettewaverly2590]

That story about the waitress with limones in her purse was priceless, Paul, and made your point about Mexicans' dedication to the humble lime. One good thing about their taste for sweet drinks is that Mexican soda pop is the best in the world! Love Jarritos Tamarindo!

[@TrueMexico]

Yes, it has to be said Mexican soda pop is indeed very tasty. Jarritos is of course classic!

[@pupupipichorrorelief4909]

awesome flavor I love it also .

[@gatitalaura]

Diabetes though. Soda drinks are something we grew up, sometimes drinking even with breakfast.

Paul, as a happy and proud Mexican, I truly believe that you’re the only English speaking youtuber living in Mexico that actually respectfully portraits Mexican culture, huge kudos for that. Now, in a different order of ideas, where is that birria place you just went to? I wanna try it, looks bad!!!!

[@TrueMexico]

Thanks a lot! It's just a few mins down the road from Six Flags.

[@Rodrigo-tk2fm]

I know Mexican people who use Lemon as hair gel. It's actually my mom, and she also uses as deodorant sometimes. It's not a lack money now, I think it was the lack of money back then, so she got used to it.

[@TrueMexico]

Thanks for sharing that!

[@LomoPlateAldo]

lime as eye cleaner.

[@ProfesorMamelowsky]

During a visit I made to Germany I went to the cinema. I sat just to the side of a very beautiful German girl. However, her armpits stank!!! Fortunately for me she didn´t move almost the whole movie so the smell was bareable. I think some Germans have this idea of being organic or to use only natural things and not to use chemicals, something like that. I should suggest her to use a lime. After all, being organic is not at odds with being clean.

[@95SlideNissan]

Its not only do to lack of money, deodorants are harmful so my substitute is either Lemons or Limes i use it every 3 days and works a lot better and its natural

[@janetrojas8939]

Mi mom used to make hair gel with nejayo ( the water left after boiling corn for toritllas)and lime lol only for special occasions

Yoo! I thought of that too, I ocationaly get sick in the first 3 days I go to Mexico. I think is mainly the water and milk that keeps me running a few days.

[@ManuelGarcia-nw2bg]

[@marcfischetti5490]

Hey tio Paul. Thank you so much for your videos, as having just moved to Monterrey from London I find myself nodding along and smiling away to your comments on the wonderful Mexican way of life. I wasn't aware that the word-play thing was so big here, but now you mention it I have been with groups of friends and wondered why they would spend hours joking and laughing at different word combinations and meanings. Now I know why. On a previous video you helped me understand why the word 'stupid' is so frowned upon here, I also had no idea! Keep up the great work and I look forward to your next video.

[@TrueMexico]

Great to read that amigo. I hope you are settling in well to life in Mexico!

So true about the Chinese food in a middle of nowhere town lol

[@TrueMexico]

Exactly! I was once in a middle of nowhere town and even on the outside of the town on the way in, there was a Chinese place. Next to it were little fondas, people selling pottery on the street. You can picture the scene. An Oxxo in the distance...

My Spanish teacher used to tell my class that when she traveled outside the USA she was extreamly careful of water and which brand she bought because some sources are not completely safe for the body. This could make a lot of sense as to why soda is such a huge consumer product in many countries rather that water. I could totally be wrong because I love soda as much as the next person but this story from my teacher has always stuck with me. I love your videos by the way; because they are extremely informative and unique.

My theory on sodas is that, as you may know, fruit water is a very traditional drink in mexican foods. So sodas are a sparkly cheap and quick version of it. See for example how mexican soda companies (Peñafiel and Jarritos) have sodas flavored as various fruits while foreign ones stick to cola, orange, lime and apple ones.

[@TrueMexico]

Very good point amigo.

[@ggarzagarcia]

Paul, I agree with you about Mexicans being crazy about Chinese food. Funny thing is that some of us Mexicans who actually study Chinese culture and have been to China, when we come back we kind of complain about the authenticity of Chinese food because in the West it is adapted to a Western palate. But in Mexico no one cares about authentic Chinese food, even if it's made by Chinese in Mexico 😂. We only care that Mexican food is authentic at all costs. But good fact you brought up!

[@TrueMexico]

Good point. I spent 2 years living in Beijing and as you know the food is totally different. But I still like the stuff in Mexico :D

My grandma loves Coca Cola. When she visits us in the United States she always tells me to grab a coke before I leave in the morning for school lmao. And for the word play is so true.
