Bubulubalicious
January 20th, 2009
Centuries ago, when I first arrived in Mexico City, I asked my girlfriend at the time – she would later go on to be my wife and then my ex-wife – if she wanted anything from the corner store. She said, “Get me a Bubulubu.” Accent on the third “u.” I thought she was putting me on; making fun of the gringo. I’d go to the corner, ask the guy for a Bubulubu and he’d look at me like I was from Mars. How could anything called a Bubulubu exist? O ye of little faith. In fact the Bubulubu, advertised here as “much more than a chocolate,” does exist. It is a chocolate-covered marshmallow with a layer of jelly. Should you be interested in my ex’s rants on sundry themes, click here.

he he, i first ate Bubulubu after a piñata breaking, in December, and since then joke a lot about it. Especially because Bubulubu has a special wiki page!Bubulubu is important. I wonder how you manage to pronounce it.

Thanks for the shoutout, David.
But I must say you neglected to mention the most important part of the Bubulubu: it’s marshmallow and a bright red jelly that makes it mucho más que un chocolate.
