So, for those of you who don't know, let me introduce you to Pelon Pelo Rico:

So, what is Pelon Pelo Rico? It's a delicious tamarind-flavored ~goo~ that's sweet, salty, and spicy ALL AT ONCE.

You push it down like this and let all its glory ooze out like a beautiful water fountain:

It's HEAVENLY. This flavorful concoction will make your taste buds reach nirvana. It'll make you think about life in a whole new way.

The best part is when you reach the bottom, you can pull off the green part and the party begins all over again.

And if you want more, just get yourself a Pelon Pelonazo and have as much as you want.

As a kid, getting these were MUST HAVES when getting a colación for posada during Christmastime.

And you literally fought people for it when breaking a piñata at your cousin's birthday party.
