Do you know what 3rd world country means? Its terminology used from the Cold War, to show whom countries were sympathetic towards. 1st World: USA, Nato and allies 2nd World: USSR, China, communist allies. 3rd world: everybody else. Yes, Mexico is 3rd world, not because of development or anything of the sort, but because you didn't pick side in the cold War. Poland is 1st World, yet poor as hell. Brazil is rich, has one of the strongest economies, but is 3rd world. Calling Mexico 3rd World isn't offensive my friend. It is just not understood what it means
Hola Noslen 👋👋 Definitely, we were living in the Cayman Islands 🌴🇰🇾 before and prices were insane.

I love this comparison! But is almond milk really $5.97 in the USA? That seems so expensive. I feel like it’s only $3-4 cdn in Canada so $2-$3 USD And toothpaste $6.45 USD🤔, ive never seen it that expensive, more like $1.30 Cnd so $1 USD Maybe your location was throwing off US prices? 🤔 You should try this again sometime for fun 😉
Hola amiga, thank you for watching 🙏🙏 The price of an almond milk buying it from the regular supermarket is about $3 USD on average, however with the recent inflation you might find them to $4-5 USD. Prices here are a bit more expensive than in other states in Mexico because it's a very touristic area. Yes, it's not a bad idea making another video like this, prices has changed ever since we made this video 🤭🤭
Thanks for letting us know that they don’t really have curly hair products! I have curly hair too so it’s a struggle even in the USA to find good products, I imagine it’s worse in MX lol
It's our pleasure!! 😊😊 Definitely is impossible to get products alcohol, silicone, sulfate free here in Mexico 🇲🇽. So, our best recommendation would be to stock up before you move. 😍

That may be true but unless you've been in SA yourself to compare the quality of infrastructure, it would be difficult to understand where I'm coming from 🫶 None the less, at the time I was completely unaware the term '3rd world' was offensive, so no I refer to Mexico as developing, as is South Africa 🙌

So that you know....a majority of food and crops are cultivated for export to the rest of North America. Therefore, they use monoculture mass production methods. The informal shops often sell what they cant export: too ripe, spotted, or oddly shaped. It's not organic. You have to go to a specialty tianguis that explicitly says organic, like in lake chapala or san Miguel or CDMX. Otherwise, your just eating what they couldn't export. I imagine they may grow a few crops organically for local consumption but not much. Hence why a lot of what you showed had bar code stickers on it.
