Juarez City.- The “cake war” waged by costco resellers in Ciudad Juárez has been a national trend on Twitter, astonishing national public opinion, which has expressed it with humorous memes.
The topic remained in third place on the list of national trends from the early hours of the day and advanced to first and second place on other topics of national interest, such as the Dry Law in Mexico City and Carlos Villagrán’s participation in politics, the arrival of the Covid vaccine, among others.
The long lines that formed early in the mall were also a cause for astonishment, this, for the purchase of bakery products sold by the store, whose space is limited due to health contingency protocols.
With beatings, the cake sellers fought for their right to carry out this irregular activity, as they limited themselves to purchasing only five units per person and confronted the security team in the service of the store.
The images of the zombie apocalypse, the situations in The Simpsons and media clippings added to the funny aspect of the situation, while others with a more reflective tone actually realized.
“Undoubtedly, people are losing their minds not only here in CDMX, but also in Ciudad Juárez. There is a demonstration at Costco in Ciudad Juárez because they do not allow you to buy more than 2 cakes … #Happy Tuesday # 22December #CostCo “, wrote the user Luis Enrique Flores Meneses.
