**OH BOY, ANOTHER COLD TAKE** 👏👏👏
**MEXICAN CHAIN FINALLY REALIZES THE US IS JUST APPLEBEE'S WITH EXTRA STEPS, FLEES BACK TO MEXICO**
So, apparently, *Cheesy Gordita Crunch Haven* (or whatever) decided to pull a reverse-immigration and dip out of the US market because... checks notes... "operational challenges" and "changing consumer tastes." AKA: Americans finally developed taste buds and realized your "authentic Mexican food" was just microwaved Taco Bell leftovers with a 400% markup.
**YTA**, chain. You can't charge $18 for a burrito that tastes like a regret and expect people to keep showing up. Meanwhile, actual Mexican abuelas are out here selling tamales out of their trunk for $5 and absolutely *dominating* the market.
**TL;DR:** Mexican restaurant chain realizes Americans are too broke and too picky, goes home to cry into a bowl of actual good food. More at 11. 🫡
