Toledo is not only blessed with thousands of years’ worth of culture, breathtaking views and the most horrid fountain in municipal water feature history, but it has now officially joined the ranks of elite cities, where all human desires can be satisfied in one garish vestibule at the click of a button. Move over Tokyo!
This is what popped up in the main shopping street in Toledo’s historic city centre a few months ago:
Now, if someone could perhaps explain to me why anybody would want a soggy burger that’s been festering in a metal bio hazard box for three days, when there’s both a McDonald’s AND a Burger King just around the corner…? If only I could be bothered to loiter outside this dreary dispensary at 3 am, I’d probably get my answer…
As to the establishment’s name, “Pica y Pica”, the verb “picar”, in colloquial Spanish, means “to grab a bite” or “to nibble”. It also means “to itch” and/or “scratch”. Evidently, those in need of scratching a particular kind of itch are well served by this outlet:
Ah. NOW I understand the facial expression of the guy on the top left:

Oh sweet lord, there’s so much going on here I don’t know where to start. Strangely, the most disturbing elements to me are the spelling and grammar. Then there’s the miniature love passage, the interchangeable elements on the Portable Pleasures device and the “easy beat” egg, the function of which I find counterintuitive. Incidently, pica is the Lithuanian word for pizza. Not sure pizza from a vending is any better than a burger or an easy beat egg, though.

Pica isn’t also related to “picante” (spicy)? It was shorthand for picante in Puerto Rico, I thought.
