When the chips are down

27 May 2012

Three Sabritas warehouses were torched in Morelía, and a dozen Sabritas delivery trucks were destroyed in Guanajuato State.

Either somebody really, really has it in for potato chips (the Food Nazis?) or organized crime gangs (what bureaucratic types and those who want to pretend gangsters are something new are calling “T.C.O.s” these days… Transnational Criminal Organizations) are … as everyone expected they would … moving into more traditional forms of mayhem and mischief:  instead of  producing and distributing useless but addictive consumer products themselves, shaking down the producers and distributors of some other useless and addictive consumer product.

Of course, “useless” does not apply to Ruffles con Queso.
