> Mexican top hot potential

To save someone else the trouble, no, that wasn't an autocorrect mistake on "Mexican."

It's not the "Mexican" bit that looks like a typo; it's the "top hot" part that jumps out.

It's just "Mexican hat" potential. The `hot` was a phone keyboard typo and writing `top` was just a mental typo.
