I had a long-ass day earlier this week and I bought this big chocolate bar. I was pretty out of it mentally when I bought it but I did think something was a little funky when it cost 18.50 pesos . . . about $4.60. I asked the guy but lacked the knowledge of chocolate bar prices to call him out directly. My only point of reference is that I can buy over a pound of steak for the same price. I think I should stick with the steak.

I bought it from the "maxikiosco" on the corner by where I live. A maxikiosco is like a little 7-eleven, some of them advertise that they are open 25 hours a day. Just like Nuts-5-Nuts, they seem to like to take a brand or company in the
My favorite Maxikiosco is one by the Congreso, (the place where all the national Diputados work). I was walking back one afternoon this week and stopped to get a soda. You can still get soda in glass bottles down here which everyone knows tastes a thousand times better. They aren't even twist offs, they have a bottle opener there for you. I don't know how to say bottle opener so I usually just make an African tribal clicking sound with my mouth and a bottle opening motion with my hands. Anyway you may be wondering why this is my favorite maxikiosco. It's because the maxicioscker (maxiciosco guy) gives great advice. I grabbed a coca-cola light from the fridge and he was like "you sure you want that, that's light" and i was like "ya, i went to the gym today, i need to keep my figure" and patted my belly a couple of times. Then he was like "noo, don't worry about that, it's all about your personality and your heart" and he came out from behind the counter and slapped his big belly a couple of times.
Then we both stood there slapping our bellies.
We connected and he gives good advice.
i really like the touch of elevating the $5 chocolate bar on the shoe. you're really developing that photographic eye, my friend.

ReplyDeleteCadbury is high quality, super duper chocolate originating from my fine country. It's totally worth 18 pesos.
