00:06
What's up y'all? Welcome back to Me too.
00:08
Daily. I'm Alejandro and I'm Jenny and let's just get into
00:11
it, bro. We don't have any ads,
00:12
right? Ok. Let's do it.
00:14
first up sister, do you ever want?
00:16
What's in your cereal?
00:18
Not really. I just make sure it's not expired.
00:22
Eva Mendez, I think this time you find out she
00:25
specifically went on Instagram and said this is a quote from her
00:28
I grew up on cereal.
00:30
but I won't eat Kellogg's anymore after I found out that so
00:34
many ingredients that they use here in the US are banned in
00:37
other countries. Why?
00:40
Because they're awful for Children?
00:41
Oh, ok. So she basically called them out for potentially
00:45
using harmful ingredients in our food here in the US versus other
00:49
countries essentially. Yeah.
00:51
And you already know everyone and their mothers had an opinion.
00:55
Yeah. I'm sure on social media,
00:57
obviously there's a bunch of comments saying that she's getting misinformation but
01:01
people on her side as well.
01:03
But if you think about it,
01:04
like, just take a step back,
01:05
like she has a point,
01:08
like companies regulate their ingredients and other products too across the board
01:12
you know, like think about Mexican Coke,
01:15
right? Coke here in the US versus Coke in Mexico is
01:18
different, right? I was,
01:21
well, I was told that the Coke in Mexico has the
01:25
actual sugar cane sugar in it.
01:28
The LA can and then the one in here is high fructose
01:33
corn syrup or the liquid sugar.
01:36
So it's not as natural.
01:37
That's why the Mexican Coke is known to taste better,
01:41
Yeah, this tastes better.
01:43
is it actually healthier?
01:44
I don't know but like,
01:45
OK, there's one example that's different,
01:47
right? And then even in the in Europe,
01:49
I've heard from one of our gluten free friends here that
01:52
technically the bread in the US doesn't qualify as bread in Europe
01:57
Again, the standards are higher.
01:59
It begs the question like,
02:00
what are we putting in our food or what are they putting
02:05
Like I know there's different regulations from country to country but this
02:08
all sounds kind of sucks.
02:11
I mean, like what does Canada know that the US does
02:16
it seems like they are prioritizing their citizens health and I'm
02:20
gonna have to smuggle my fruit loops from the six.
02:24
Yeah, I think about it.
02:24
Look how sneaky the US is with like ingredients and food and
02:27
it's probably just all to make us a couple more pennies per
02:29
box. Obviously, it adds it to a lot.
02:32
But again, and it's funny because,
02:35
it's not known for having the healthiest snacks,
02:37
but at least it lets you know,
02:39
hey, this is the big ass Hexagons on the bag,
02:42
like, hey, you know,
02:43
is it the healthy for you?
02:45
But we're letting you know excess,
02:48
excess as excess salad or whatever the hell if you still do
02:53
it, that's all you know,
02:55
I'm letting you know this is what you're about to eat.
02:59
If you choose to eat it,
03:00
that's on you. So even we feel you this Tajin story
03:06
is something you'll never forget.
03:09
We don't know Tajin,
03:10
right? It's legendary.
03:12
Yeah. Nothing slaps more than Michela during summer,
03:16
you know, like ice cold with a little Tajin rim.
03:23
one tiktoker Rachel Drip was enjoying a drink with Tajin and she
03:27
actually found one ingredient that pulled it down a rabbit hole.
03:32
while researching, she worried that when she saw it contain silicone
03:35
dioxide against scary word or silica that she might be drinking bits
03:40
not microplastics crashing the party for the.
03:43
Don't ruin that sister.
03:47
Like just wait. So this led her to explore the
03:50
ingredients further, right?
03:52
She discovered a nice surprise for all Tajin lovers.
03:56
So actually it turns out that silicon dioxide is a very common
03:59
ingredient and it is naturally occurring and used as an anti caking
04:03
agent in spices to prevent clumping.
04:06
But wait, it gets better.
04:08
A study published in 2008 found that boosting silicon dioxide intake could
04:12
contribute to reduce the risk of dementia.
04:16
For real specifically, an additional 10 mg of silica per day
04:20
was associated with the lower chances of developing the disease.
04:23
What was that last factor too?
04:26
So it was 10 mg of silica per day that was associated
04:30
with lowering the chances of developing the disease.
04:34
This is you scared me.
04:38
Well, if you guys see me asking for extra Tajin on
04:41
my margarita, I'm fighting dementia.
04:43
Fuck out of my mentions.
04:46
Oh yeah, we have a food filled episode today,
04:51
a foodie filled episode for Pepsico just acquired siete foods and a
04:56
remarkable $1.2 billion deal.
04:59
Wow, the family run brand was founded by third generation Mexican
05:04
American Veronica Garza in Laredo,
05:07
Texas after being diagnosed with Lupus Garza,
05:11
recognize the need for grain free tortillas for people with specific conditions
05:16
like herself. It's an incredible origin story,
05:19
it is you would think our community would celebrate,
05:23
you know, one of our own making these big moves,
05:27
yeah, family run brand Latino owned and now $1.2 billion richer
05:34
Well, I think you know where I'm going with this
05:36
but the announcement sparked backlash across,
05:38
you know, several online platforms.
05:40
There's many people that are happy for the foods but like,
05:43
always there's also other people that are criticizing the decision.
05:47
I can see how people would worry about a brand's product quality
05:51
you know, taking a hit when these big corporations buy
05:54
them out. Like I can see that.
05:55
No. Yeah, that's true.
05:57
Definitely. So, like,
05:58
a lot of the buzz is mainly around that.
05:59
It's kind of like they're,
06:01
you know, selling out and they're choosing profit over everything else
06:05
Well, there's a difference between being concerned and there's a
06:08
difference between calling people sellouts.
06:11
because, like, I feel like we should be celebrating this
06:13
right, one of our own for sure.
06:16
they want to go nationwide worldwide.
06:19
That's the dream. You don't want to stay in,
06:20
like, a smaller market and like,
06:22
you know, unless that's,
06:25
and that's the plan you have for your business.
06:27
But I don't agree with,
06:29
putting people down because they choose to go a different route or
06:32
choose to go that route.
06:34
You want to be in these spaces and help other entrepreneurs up
06:37
that want to be in those spaces.
06:39
Exactly. Because if one of us makes it the hope is
06:42
they kind of know a little bit of recipe,
06:44
they can help other small businesses that want to get to that
06:47
level as well. And then maybe get acquired as well for
06:50
$1.2 billion and then they don't have to be Chingo de Car
06:53
with the day to day.
06:57
this is an accomplishment and it's like,
07:00
dude, you guys don't criticize people putting their stuff in Target
07:05
Like, you know what I mean?
07:07
so my stuff is in Target now,
07:09
like we applaud that.
07:10
Oh wow. It's like in a big store,
07:13
you know, and you know what,
07:15
I'm sorry, people have mouths to feed like you do not
07:20
put money in this person's pocket,
07:23
they got mouths to feed and that's it.
07:27
we're proud of Veronica.
07:29
No. Yeah. So I feel like,
07:30
you know, at the end of this,
07:31
like, I feel like rather and seeing,
07:34
you know, acquisitions,
07:35
there's a lot of street cred,
07:37
maybe we should see them as like a big win,
07:39
right? For the community and for entrepreneurship or helping like spread
07:43
the wealth amongst the Latino community and other small businesses and you
07:48
know, the representation like again,
07:49
these are gonna go hopefully like worldwide and these will be on
07:54
every store, you know.
07:58
So siete foods in my opinion,
07:59
deserves a break and they will also help usher in the next
08:03
billion dollar Latina led brand.
08:05
You know, there's someone in there and it's just about helping
08:08
each other up all sister.
08:12
It's time for my favorite segment.
08:13
Let's go our best comments of the week.
08:17
Yo, this video we posted popped off.
08:20
So we posted this video of this couple right dressing up as
08:23
Nacho Libre in the Mojito.
08:27
I don't like the guys are looking at you Nacho.
08:36
but these are my recreational clothes.
08:42
And obviously the comment,
08:42
show people love it too.
08:43
So let's check him out.
08:45
I'm a certified personal trainer and I use this natural scene to
08:48
cue my clients on activation all the time.
08:51
This is definitely one of my favorite movies.
08:53
Oh, is it because he does a thing?
08:55
He's like these are my new stretchy pants.
09:08
this one he also looks like Esle at the same time.
09:17
I want to see the video.
09:27
I see the booty cheeks.
09:30
what's the next one?
09:31
A Mexican cosplaying a white man who cosplay a Mexican never thought
09:37
I would live to see the mass deception.
09:42
That man. That's funny.
09:49
If we ain't like this.
09:51
Agreed. Agreed. I want,
09:54
I love like they both committed.
09:59
They look the part especially La Moa.
10:01
She looks like. That's what do you think are some other
10:06
iconic couples costumes that people should do for this year.
10:12
someone should be a buzz ball and then one should be a
10:15
guy with puke all over him.
10:21
I don't know. That would be funny.
10:26
I'm same. I feel like I would do,
10:28
like, what's it called?
10:30
A taquito with like a little Taquero?
10:33
I've seen it before or like,
10:36
oh, I think that is related.
10:39
Oh, Tai, with his dog or with a translator.
10:44
You get your homie like,
10:44
hey, bro, help me out with this.
10:46
You know, this is his name Will.
10:49
That's true. That's true.
10:51
I feel like an easy one.
10:55

10:59

15:07
Those are definitely angry clouds.
15:10
Stay inside. sister.
15:12
Are you prepared to do the weather?
15:14

15:15
I can't take it anymore.
15:17
I didn't have time to prep for this,
15:19
Jenny. This isn't like you,
15:21
you're usually so prepared like I'm not mad.
15:23
