As a Mexican I can say that cinco de mayo is just a marketing holiday similar to saint Patrick’s day and capitalism has ruined any significance behind the actual batalla de Puebla… ooooh, did you just say you have a colorful donkey tequila on sale? Count me in 🤠
Some do, mostly as another party day. Not necessarily for it’s significance.

Ha St Patrick’s Day isn’t a marketing holiday. It’s a huge day in Ireland, where up to a million people go to see the parade in town.
And outside of Ireland?
Also huge where there’s Irish, and we’re scattered wide and far.
It’s mostly because we’re taking a hint from the gringos and see a good marketing opportunity for an excuse to party.
