Count me in.
Pretty much every person over the age of 50 loves to complain about how terrible the current generation is, from smart phones to our being "entitled" about everything (because God forbid we just want to eat, amirite?). So the next time an old person tries to pull that crap on you, just whip out this gallery of highly disturbing foods that the public actually used to consume throughout the 20th century, and we're betting that it'll shut down any and every argument they could possibly have about who the "best generation" is.
Hey hey party people! If you're planning on celebrating Cinco de Mayo, we hope you have a safe and enjoyable holiday, and of course, we have to take this opportunity to remind you what the holiday is actually about: contrary to popular belief, Cinco de Mayo is not Mexican independence day, but rather the anniversary of the victorious 1862 battle of Puebla against Napoleon III's army, located southeast of Mexico City.
Today, Cinco de Mayo is celebrated in the state of Puebla, but is not much recognized in the rest of Mexico. The holiday was brought to the States as a way for Mexican immigrants to celebrate their heritage, but has since spread to include the rest of America.
TL;DR: Cinco de Mayo is an excuse for many Americans to get drunk and eat tacos.

You know, using five jars of mayo on one sandwich isn't that out of the ordinary if you live in Sweden. - Matty Malaprop
