Will Orange Julius ban Mexican food in the U.S., leading to his downfall? (satire)

Nachos, burritos, fajitas, quesadilla, salsa, guacamole, chili con carne and huevos rancheros could be banned by an executive order, citing a postit-note found in The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, signed by Nicholas Trist, Luis G. Cuevas, Bernardo Couto, and Miguel Atristain, authorizing the ban.

It is expected that the "Mexican" items will be required to be replaced with "Murican" equivalents.

Nachos: potato chips and cheez wiz
Burritos: pancakes wrapped around breakfast sausages
Fajitas: Philly cheese steak
Quesadillas: grilled cheese sandwich
Salsa: ketchup (OF COURSE)
Guacamole: ranch dressing
Chili Con Carne: Boston Bedminster Baked Beans.
Huevos Rancheros: Eggs? Fuggedaboutit.

And about those sombreros somtechbros:


Impact could be substantial.

Jan. 12 (UPI) -- More than 1 in 10 restaurants in the United States serve Mexican food, according to a new study from Pew Research. The analysis found 85% of U.S. counties have at least one Mexican restaurant, with 99% of Americans living near one.

The 15% of counties without any Mexican restaurants have about 4 million people, approximately 1% of the population, living in them, the Pew Research said.
