Latinos LOVE China cabinets. Do you know what they love even more than that? Fine China. Do you know what they love more than filling up the China Cabinets they love with the Fine China they love even more? Not letting you use that dinnerware—EVER!

I HATE these types of blankets, but it seems as if every Latino I know LOVES them. They are fuzzy since they tend to be made out of a micro-plush polyester fiber where the fabric does not breathe (does not allow air in or out) capturing the heat your body generates and that is how it keeps you super warm. I am allergic to these fabrics. I need to be 10 feet away from them and just the sight of them drives me nuts. Yet, I bet, at least one in every two Latino households owns one.

Need I say more?

Latinos LOVE invading your privacy by NOT giving you any. If you are using the bathroom you better lock the door because it is certain someone will come in to grab some tissue, brush their teeth, or ask you a question. Hellloooo???? Perhaps, this is done when you have a big family and share one bathroom, but even if you have two+ bathrooms it does not matter, someone is bound to walk-in. ADM, can they knock first? No. Once my aunt who was visiting the states and who I had not seen in years, walked in on me when I was ready to take a shower. In complete nudity I quickly tried to cover myself with the towel. Last time she saw me I was five!! Then she had the audacity to say, “Ay nena no te preocupes si yo tengo lo mismo que tu!”

If one more Latino tries to sell me an Herbalife product, I swear I am jumping out of my first floor window!

Latinas LOVE selling AVON and/or Mary Kay products. One thing I must admit is that Latinos make really good salespeople. They are so persistent. The Mary Kay ladies are aggressive (in a good way). They lure you in by throwing some makeup fest for you and your gal friends. And who can turn that down? Seriously, I mean, playing with makeup, one never outgrows that! Latina women do not care if you are dying on your deathbed. They will stop by to see you, pray for you, wish you well, and then that is when they pull out the AVON book and say, “Mira nena, I brought it just in case you or one of your relatives ven algo que les gustas, me avisas, okay?” Uhmmm

Latinos LOVE Pancay con syrup! Ain’t your momma Aunt Jemima?!

Latinos LOVE hot sauce. Hot Sauce is used in a wide capacity as that of ketchup. We add HOT SAUCE to everything!  And we mean EVERYTHING. We add hot sauce to pizza, soup, chips, rice, burritos, and just about anything edible—um, except that pervertido!

Latinos LOVE beer and TECATE is just one more beer we give love to. Just add lime, salt, and you’re in business borrachon!

Latinos LOVE saving plastic containers for food storage. Sure, we can easily go to a store and buy 24pcs. of a Rubbermaid collection, but why do this when we get them for free at Spanish and Chinese restaurants. We just empty them, wash, and reuse.
