It never dawned on me that “pulp fiction” came from pulp, as in paper, and I’m from a pulp and paper area (Ottawa). I don’t drink but still watched these videos and it pays off as I learned something today.

Yeah, pulp fiction was cheap fiction magazines made from wood pulp paper (opposed to more expensive glossy mags). Over time "pulp fiction" became synonymous with low-grade bad fiction. A lot of early popular sci-fi was pulp fiction (like flash Gordon).

I don't know where someone found that a Peso was equal to 4 US Dollars. From 1954 to 1976 1 US Dollar was worth 12.5 Mexican Pesos. So for something to cost 1 peso in 1961, that's 8 US Cents. source: Wikipedia, Mexican Peso Section 1 "History" 1.3 "First Peso", Paragraph 3.

I agree that it was never more than a dollar, but I think I remember it being more like 4 or 6 for a dollar in the early 60s. It did vary a fair amount year by year, it wasn't fixed to the dollar. As usual, I'm a little suspicious of the complete veracity of Wikipedia. That book would have retailed for about 35 cents US in 1960.

As I've gotten older (cough, ahem 50's) I've gradually grown to appreciate (dry) vermouth in cocktails and the aromatics which I once turned my nose up at. Definitely going to try this one. I also used to hate cherries in all their forms, but now that nose hit you get from maraschino cherries is lovely. I think my olfactory bulb grew up.

I got to say this is a really good simple balanced cocktail, its bigger than the sum of its parts . it is a touch sweet but , just savor the flavors while the ice melts. I am adding this to my favorites, Unlike most cocktail now there are no bitters in it! I love bitters but I do feel they are over used in places were they really do not add anything.

Considering that a paperback book in 1960 sold for $.35 to maybe $.50, it would be a very expensive paperback book at $5.

I don't recall paperbacks of that general size getting up to 50 cents until about a decade later. I vaguely recall a general progression of 35 cents, 45 cents, then 50 cents by about 1970. The big Nixon inflation in 72 and 73 fairly quickly raised the price to 60 and 75 cents, then $1 or more.

In 1960 or thereabouts a paperback book like that would have been about 35 cents in the US. The Mexican Peso was a significant part of a dollar in those days, so 1 peso for the book doesn't seem unreasonable. The peso crashed around 1980 by a factor of about a hundred if I recall at all correctly. I think there was a second devaluation about a decade later.

A little difficult to calculate….. but for reference: 1 peso in 1961 was 12.5 peso/ usd, so aprox $.08 us, BUT- min daily wage in Mexico in 1961 was 25 peso vs $1.15 usd per hour. Sooo…..customary 10hr day in mexico meant 2.5 peso/ hr pay

Since tequila reposado is just tequila aged in a barrel, it would have been around for a centuries, as tequila was certainly stored in barrels back then. Hard to believe it wouldn't have been around in Mexico at least in 1961.
@GlenAndFriendsCooking

You might think that… but the first tequila aged in a barrel wasn’t launched until 1974. Up to that point tequila was clear, and in fact the clearest was the most prized. It just wasn’t saved or stored, it was made, bottled, and consumed quickly.

Glenn is 100% right "Herradura reposado", the first (and still one of the best) commercially produced aged tequila, wasn't introduced in the market until 1974. I once heard a story that, the product was such an overnight and unexpected success, that the company was forced to discontinue it for a couple of years in order to completely reevaluate the production process.

Accounting for the inflation of the peso. 1 peso back in 1961 would be 12,368.43 pesos today. Converting that into dollars would be $608.34 in today’s money or $64.48 US dollars in 1961
@belg4mit
2 жыл бұрын
That is not the correct way to make the conversion. You are counting devaluation as if it were real money; Mexico has undergone multiple currency crises, famously in 1994. Instead, 1 peso then was about a nickle. The CPI calculator puts a 1961 nickle at 50 cents today.
