Twitter Joins Together To Mock Jeb Campaign's $75 Guacamole Bowl

[ghostsinthemachine]

Republican presidential candidate and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush added a rather expensive guacamole bowl to its campaign store, and the Internet immediately took to mocking it.

The $75 bowl, called the "Guaca Bowle," doesn't even come with the campaign's signature "Jeb!" logo.

The description reads: "Jeb and Columba love whipping up guacamole on Sunday Funday. Now, you can get in on the act with this 'Guaca Bowle.' Jeb’s secret guacamole recipe not included…yet."

If your guacamole needs are not being met with a normal bowl, Amazon has some cheaper options per usual.

1. Incidentally, it is a molcateje bowl

Well, not really a molcateje bowl either, since the run-of-the-mill taqueria bowl seen here is made of polypropylene, and I don't know how it would stand up to molcateje.

$2.28

2. That is a molcajete

which is the ancient, pre-Columbian equivalent of a mortar (does the Jeb-bowl come with the tejolote, the stone used for grinding? Otherwise it's pretty useless). While it's commonly used to make guacamole, it's a general-purpose tool used for grinding all sorts of things. Good ones are made of basalt, and have to be painstakingly seasoned before using, unless you like tiny bits of abrasives in your food. </pedantic>

$75 sounds reasonable for a good quality one - it will last several lifetimes - but a plastic one is worse than useless.

Is this Jeb's way of trying to win the so-called Latino vote? His wife is from Mexico, so I can understand why he might be familiar with the tool, but I would think it will take more than a few campaign props to get votes.
