The infamous blood avocado from Michoacán… whatever happened to Hipolito Mora btw and his limes?
ReplyDeleteYo I got dem avocados yo. 4real and they're dope - hella fresh, virgin
DeleteHecho en Mexico güey.
Damn..thanks Sol
ReplyDeleteOf course for those of us who have been following this for a decade this is old news and I'm amazed people don't know about it but the more people that know the better.
ReplyDeleteI always remind people of a few? years ago when "Avocados From Mexico "(insert peppy commercial jingle/audio here) had not one, but two Super Bowl commercials$$$$$$. When was the last time the 'Apple Growers of America' or the'Pumpkin '🎃 producers of the USA' could afford two Super Bowl ads. I am not an expert on the economics of produce but something seems amiss🐹
Those ghost towns, Sadly it seems like their are pockets of them throughout Michoacan, Aguilla, particularly in the hotlands.
That fear, I can't imagine.
Ms H welcome back.
DeleteLong time no see.
Now you only come in when it's Avacado related.
I miss your outlandish remarks.
Don't be a stranger.

I am glad somebody else enjoys absurd humor. I have to practice restraint w my sense of humor, for those of us with a dark sense of humor and enjoy the absurd, you know what I'm saying. On a side note,I was reading about the cjng.ORG website, it is pretty odd, check it out if interested I would like to hear other people's opinion. Perhaps this is really old news, but I just heard about it today.
DeleteThe ultimate joke would be if Ms. H was really a Mr. H!!! 😅
DeleteMs. H
DeleteDo you know why the Chicken crossed the other side of the street?
Driving Ms H. Has left the room, hurry Sol do another article on avocados, so Ms H, can enter the palace.
DeleteHappy Friday, Sol & Team BB!
ReplyDeleteKeep on kicking ass, keep that foot on the gas!
5 pm will be tequila time.
DeleteTime to party 🎉 but don't drink and drive. Don't give cops a hard time.

DeleteTake a bite out of crime.. then take a shit on your neighbor’s lawn.
Hahahahahahahhaha
Delete10:01 For me it’ll be lorazepam time
DeleteValium at 5:26 ???
Delete5:26 that garbage literally melted my fathers brain be careful with that. some doctors need to do they're jobs instead of just handing out drugs
Delete9:05 Hah.. no, I’m not that lucky. Just Ativan.
Delete5:31 Lol good luck trying to get an American doctor to give you a benzo…. The vast majority of Xanax use in America now is Pharmapram from Mexico. This notion that American doctors handout benzos, amphetamines and/or opioids like candy is utter nonsense. They just want to give everyone antidepressants.
Delete4:58 back 20 years ago I don't believe it was that hard. But with my father it started with a head injury then it spoon out of control once we change doctors it was to late the damage was done.
DeleteIf they easily infiltrate it’s own politicians, it’s going to be really easy to control businesses as well.
ReplyDelete“Everything that produces money they will be interested in”-baldy
ReplyDeleteHow about finding and keeping an honest job?
Wait until they start extorting the fishermen.
Delete246 They already do that in Municipio de El Rosario SiN, and Navolato SiN. Mostly shrimp industry

DeleteWhen I go buy my favorite avocados, and their little sticker states from Mexico, I am no longer happy. I grew up in So Cal with 2 of the trees on our property. Had no idea what was down the road. They were not a source of blood money. Oh my goodness, the horror trail, it is and has been everywhere for so long. The friggen rabbit hole. I am the absolute Mob of Guacamole.
ReplyDeleteyou good bro?
DeleteYes, just a couple glasses of wine, and missing guilt free avocados. Not a bro tho, so I can get emotional. Lol
DeleteAvocados from the caribean taste the same and are bigger and no lazy ass no brain having asshole extortionists get one dollar from it.
ReplyDeleteMexican avocados are best followed by Colombian. Where they grow the Colombian avocado is amazing beautiful would love to travel the Mexican region but will take a rain check for now for obvious reasons
DeleteSorry but i disagree. I bet you never even seen an avocado from the caribbean. Theyre twice as big as the ones on mexico. Mexican avocados are fucking small and the only reason theyre big in usa is theyre supposed to be easy to transport thru land. Flavor is the same.
DeleteI never any fruit or vegetable from colombia and i got half colombian cousins.
DeleteMexican avocados are bettet? But they aint get no rain maybe thats why theyre small as hell
Delete6:42 yes I have its all about personnel preference though and the Mexican avocado is number 1 in my book and the world agrees with me so....
