Mexico v. United States

I've been lucky to travel throughout most of Europe, and Mexico's the fifth country outside the U.S. where I've paid rent (and the fourth Spanish-speaking country), but I've never seen so many similarities to the United States anywhere else. And I don't mean about the overarching American commercialization that's happening everywhere. It's little things. Chalk it up to the obvious: we're neighbors. But here's a list anyway, which I'll continue to update:

1) Pajama pants in public
2) Jogging
3) Jogging with your dog
4) Having a big furry dog for a pet
5) Crazy, over-the-top pet stores
6) Coffee to go, and not just at Starbucks
7) Arizona Iced Tea (have you ever seen that brand outside the States?)
3) Same size and shape license plates
4) Same electric current (awesome)
5) Produce weighed at the checkout counter
10) The club, for the car (only seen this once, but on the lookout)
11) Bad wine at most places
12) Big portions
13) Overweight people
14) X-large cereal and cookie boxes for sale at the grocery store
