Mexican Restaurant Coke Roulette: Ordered two Coke of the menu and we got a 400ml and a 500ml bottle. When asked about the different sizes on the table, waiter swapped the 400ml for a 600ml. Still two different sizes, same price for each. Zero logic. Does this make sense? Or is it just fraud?🥤🤷‍♂️

My Mexican order using Uber Eats came wrapped in enough single-use plastic to insulate a small house. I just wanted chicken fajitas with rice, but apparently, I purchased the "Plastic Pollution Starter Kit." 🇲🇽♻️

Greetings from Mexico! Where my jet lag wakes me up at 2 AM, the local dogs hold an outdoor music festival outside my window 🐕🎶 at 3 AM, and the tacos outside the tourist zone are so cheap I’m officially paying more for water than for lunch. 10/10 lifestyle, send help and more salsa.🌶️

For people that think that the Aldi Air Tags are as good as the Apple Air Tag… I have two trackers in the suitcase. Both close. An Apple Air Tag that shows the suitcase traveled with me to Zürich and the Aldi one believes it is still in Stuttgart. There is a difference!
