It's A Conspiracy!

No hummus or kitty litter for you! Sorry! Come back in a year or so!

If you live in Cancun you know that your trip to the Walmarts or the Sams or the Costcos is bound to leave you pissed off because once again, there are no black beans (yes it happens, even in MEXICO), there are no whole wheat tortillas, and yeah there aren't any puppy pads either (because those are only in stock about once a year anyways)!

It is a well known fact among my expat friends that when you find something you like, you hoard it, buy 50 cases of it and run out of the store like a champion! You feel glorious like you've achieved the impossible until of course, you run out and try to go back to refill your 2 year supply. You know upon your return to the store that there will be no reminants of your previous purchase. Not even a price tag. It's almost as if it NEVER EXISTED!!!!! And sometimes.............. YOU NEVER SEE THAT PRODUCT EVER AGAIN! It's almost as if the super market aliens came and played a dirty trick on you. Like they dangled sugarless koolaid in front of your tastebuds for several months before they took it right back and laughed at your anguish.

Why is it stores here can never keep their shelves stocked consistently? Why? Why oh WHY WHY WHY. Why do you tease me and play with my time and energy? Why. If you don't want to supply me with Ketchup chips or Raspberry Ice Crystal Light...... I'll understand. I'll get friends and family to smuggle it in like it means as much to me as cocaine means to a drug addict. But don't tease me please!

So of course I go to Sams to get kitty litter. I only really go there for the kitty litter because you can buy a big bucket and it's for the best price in Cancun. Sometimes I buy 2 buckets at a time because I know what will happen! It will disappear! Yeah. JUST LIKE TODAY. The aliens stole the fricken kitty litter! I'm sure they are having lots of fun pissing in it and watching it clump up. So back to the Walmarts I go to purchase expensive litter that I don't want. Hey, you're cats have got to shit somewhere and you gotta do what you gotta do.

Of course this brings me back to hummus. No correlation with kitty litter except for the fact that there's no hummus in Cancun PERIOD. IT'S A CONSPIRACY. There is none at the Walmarts. And there is none at the Costco's. I went there the other day specifically for my organic hummus and shaBLAM! NONE. Not even the non-organic hummus. You know, if I wanted to make hummus I would. But I don't. I don't have a food processer and frankly, the Costco's sells hummus that I like. YEAH. Not no more. TEASE TEASE TEASE. Oh and thanks for wasting my time and energy again. I totally was all excited and then wow. What a let down.
So there you go. I shouldn't be telling you any of this especially if you live in Cancun because you know you're totally going to go buy all the hummus and kitty litter in town now that I've told you how impossible it is to get them.

Either THAT or you're going to send an email to the supermarket aliens and have them take away Coca Zero or something.

Figures.
