Not only to I believe that it's out of touch with modern times, 5 de mayo is not even a real holiday to most Mexicans. It really is another excuse to drink too much and run around like fools with a "theme"...like Fat Tuesday and St Patty's Day. In fact, many people don't remember the Spanish, let alone the French. And at $19.95, wait to buy it...it will be $5 at Big Lots next month. I love the real life comparison you made...there are little latina girls putting their fingers down their throats as we speak. I can hear it now "Mami, no more dulce de leche, I want to look like my 5 de mayo Barbie." The cheese factor of this Barbie edition is high.
