@unusual_whalesThis is wild. Free chips and salsa could be the next casualty of the trade war, per KERA News. Trump slapped a 17% tariff on Mexican tomatoes, which supply about 90% of U.S. tomato imports. Then bad weather hit, and tomato prices spiked to a 20-year high, around $80 a box. Some stores stopped carrying tomatoes altogether. Now restaurants are saying they can't afford to put salsa on the table anymore. Some Texas spots already charge up to $5.25 a basket, per Texas Monthly.7h
