This is not an import by the vibrant American expat community though right? This is being pushed by huge chains to sell plastic and sugar, and they push it to kids. That’s what shits me.

On the other hand it was a cool community event to witness and we don’t really see too much of anymore that imho. I just resent the aggressive way it’s inculcated on us by greedy companies to suck our value.

Why can’t they sponsor existing local cultural festivals or something?
