Punky Junky Mother Load

There was only one thing I wanted to bring home from my recent trip to Mexico: Punky Junky.

Punky Junky is a type of hair gel made in Mexico. A few years back when we were traveling in the country, my husband had bought a bottle on a whim.

What started as a fanciful I'll-try-this-foreign-gel quickly became an obsession. Punky Junky became his favorite hair gel of all time.

It's not sold in U.S. stores (or not anywhere near us that we've been able to find). We finally found a guy who was starting up a business selling it online at -- where else? -- PunkyJunky.com.

Nonetheless, even though we are regular customers here, I thought that since I was actually going to be in Mexico, I'd scout it out at its source.

Look at how many bottles are lining this shelf! And the rows went four deep!
