We´re talking 1997 and since then every May 5th I can´t help but think of one thing: Seinfeld´s Millennium episode. Number 20 of the 8th season. This photo might stir up some memories for you...
Elaine tries to run an ethnic-themed clothing store called Putumayo out of business after receiving bad customer service. First, she tries shopping at a competing store, Cinco de Mayo, but discovers that the same woman from Putumayo owns both stores. Later, she tries to get Kramer, under an alter ego named H. E. Pennypacker, to change the price tags on the labels, but he accidentally destroys the pricing gun before he can finish. Instead, he tries to take the desiccant packs from the clothing as Plan B, so he only manages to ruin the clothes in about five years, making Elaine more distressed and presumably gives up. Kramer then eats some free chips the store gives out to its customers and unknowingly drops one of the desiccant packs in the salsa dip.
We don´t actually celebrate this holiday in Mexico, even less in Argentina (my home planet) but if I had to party to this one, Id say get chips, salsa and watch this episode!
Happy Cinco de Mayo, bye-bye-o!
