I've always enjoyed hashbrowns at McDonald's. I know it's the last place in Boulder I should be eating, but once in a while, I'll walk over on a Sunday morning and grab a hashbrown because I think they're tasty.

I did that this weekend, and I noticed something fascinating at the drink station.

The nozzle that dispenses water is the least attractive thing I have ever seen. It's a white square with blunt black lettering that says WATER. No art, no color, nothing appealing. Compare it to the other drink offerings - it's surrounded by the colorful promise of thirst-quenching majesty!

Is this done deliberately to discourage people from drinking water? By associating it with staid, boring typefaces and design choices? Are we so easily repelled?

A guerrilla dietician should wage a campaign whereby flashy, attactive WATER stickers are placed over the boring ones in an effort to get peeps to drink more water. That would be refreshing. Ha?

Has anyone else noticed this phenomenon? I'd love to see pics.

Every Cinco de Mayo, sales of Corona spike. Sales of Tecate spike. Everyone hits the liquor store to stock up on Mexican beer and limes. Little do they know that they have been misled.

Celebrating Cinco de Mayo doesn't revolve around drinking Mexican beer.

Real Latinos drink Yoo-Hoo on Cinco de Mayo.

Don't believe me? Check it:

• I'm Latino.
• It's Cinco de Mayo.
• I'm sippin' the 'Hoo.

For realzies. For as long as I can remember, Yoo-Hoo has been a central part of my culture's celebration of the Battle of Puebla. We raised our voices as we raised our glasses [of Yoo-Hoo].

Spread the word to all your socially networked contacts or whatever. We've got to set the record straight.

Cinco de Mayo = Cinco de Yoo-Hoo.

Yes we can. Honest.
