If Mexicans Toasted The 4th Of July The Way Americans Toast Cinco De Mayo

If Mexicans Toasted July 4th Like Americans Toast Cinco De Mayo

Official beverage of America: Natural Light.

Every year on the 5th of May, Americans consume tacos and tequila in honor of -- wait, what is it for? ... oh, really? -- Mexico's military victory over France in the Battle of Puebla. If you're of Mexican descent, you've probably grown a little tired of U.S. stereotypes and misinformation about Cinco de Mayo. For the record, Mexico's Independence Day is actually Sept. 16.

Well, now the poorly researched holiday shoe is on the other foot, so to speak. Check out this Flama original video in which Mexicans celebrate the 4th of July in the same way that Americans celebrate Cinco de Mayo.

If you're gonna play beer pong with giant cups, it's best not to fill those with beer and chug them every time you score. The party ends pretty quickly that way.

Finally, don't f--k with grandma on the beer pong table. Grandma will dominate you on the beer pong table.
