Like one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (I'm going to say Famine) in signaling the upcoming release of The Field Guide to Nachos we now have for your purchasing enjoyment Piedras Negras Nachos Stickers. Where? Well, right here! You can get 5 of these beautiful babies for $5. Is there a better deal? I don't think so, but that's me, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't biased.

“Dude, you never guess what I seen!”
“Bra, what is it?”
“Yo, I went to this restaurant and the first thing I seen on the wall is a poster about jackin’ off yo!”
“Bah, no way!”
“Yes way, and right next to that is a big ol’ one about a big ol’ RACK of ribs!”

Now I admit it, I don't know you super well so you might be the sort of person who frequently encounters 4,000 postcards at once, but I'm not and thusly looking at almost 60 lbs of postcards is kind of a big deal to me. This is 80% of our upcoming "Bienvenidos a Piedras Negras!" card set, and also the pamphlet "A Guide to Rating Nachos", which is not related to our upcoming "The Field Guide to Nachos". All of these will be available to order in the next few months but we wanted to give you a sneak peek at the cards now.
