    21 Cinco de Mayo Memes for Amigos Enjoying Taco Tuesday and Remembering the 1862 Battle of Puebla

    ¡Hola, amigos! What pairs deliciously with margaritas and Mexican food? Learning about Mexican culture and history! If you didn't think we were going to say that… Then please scroll on and learn. 

    It is Cinco de Mayo today, a Mexican holiday commonly mistaken as their Independence Day (which is actually September 16th). This holiday is actually in remembrance of the 1862 Battle of Puebla. This battle was an insane win for Mexico back then, because the French were trying to do their thing and colonize, and they sorely lost at this battle. It was the wildest W for Mexico and L for France, because it was a huge, well-armed French force against a small, ill-equipped Mexican force. Even with the odds against them, Mexico still won! The war would go on for several years, the French army led by none other than Napoleon III, but that battle was never forgotten and always considered a huge victory. So if you must attend Taco Tuesday today, at least go to celebrate this incredible historical event that gave hope to the Mexican people back in 1862.

    • “Oh, but I just want to drink margaritas and eat cheap tacos. History is boring." Calleté. Don't be that person. That's so annoying. Enjoy your Mexican food, hopefully from an actually Mexican-owned establishment, and be generous with the tip. Mexicans don't even really celebrate this holiday. Sure, in the Puebla regions, there are probably some festivities going on, but that's about it. Do you think us New Yorkers are celebrating the Battle of Gettysburg? No, we're not; even though we have a baseball team called the Yankees and literally will take any reason to party. Is there something happening in Gettysburg, PA, in those first three days of July when that battle took place? Probably, but I'm not eating gruel and drinking cheap gin in celebration of it.

    • We love educational memes. Especially ones that share other people's cultures and histories. If anything can bring people together, it's memes. Plus, it's so much more fun to learn through laughter. Oh, you don't get the joke? Then do some research. BAM, you just learned even more. It's beautiful! So, if you do anything to celebrate the Battle of Puebla, learn about its history with joy and LOLs in your heart.
