    I have not seen nutritional facts printed in Spanish. Only on products from Mexico.
     

  4. What's funny is no one in Mexico really cerebrates cinco de mayo it's a us thing
     
  5. How often do you read nutrional facts for light reading? Same goes for instructions and directions nowadays

    I always read the facts to be honest haha. Instructions and directions I always see in English, Spanish, and french.
     

  7. we... don't lol. only in like fifth grade spanish class, at least from my experience. we recognize it as a holiday but nothing special goes on
     

  8. Halloween is pretty big here compared to other European countries who don't really celebrate it, coz its originally a pagan holiday that the celtic people celebrated
    We have the normal catholic holidays too, christmas and easter

    St paddys day is a huge deal here of course :D
    everyone gets the day off work and school, its a national holiday

  11. I'll be honest, I still don't really know what Thanksgiving is about beyond it being a holiday when all my American friends eat a lot of food and something about white people giving native Americans some turkey before committing genocide on them...

    Pretty much just celebrating our new friendship with Indians at the time. While showing each other new methods in farming, foods, hunting, etc etc from what I remember.

    Foods they had at the big dinner to celebrate the new peace between were turkey, ham, potatoes, corn, etc.


    That's what I remember being taught as a little kid in school.



    Then later a slaughter.
     
  14. I'm from England. And I don't even know what thanksgiving is...
