Martha Debayle decided it would be a good idea to upload a TikTok giving advice on how to be “a good host”. For a long time, social networks take everything the radio host says with tweezers. And extra attention is paid to what’s likely to become a meme, like when last yearShe said her daughter cried over the death of Queen Elizabeth, whom she called “Granny.” The entire virtual world burst out laughing at this anecdote, and memes are spreading everywhere every time this episode is remembered.
It all started when Debayle unleashed his creativity on his TikTok account, listing five tips on how to welcome someone into your home with the luxury of attention and sophistication. It all starts with a simple glass of water. Yes, a glass of water, because in Debayle’s eyes that too should be criticized.. According to her and her teaching, the water must be served with a shaker napkin, in a pitcher, and even with tongs to allow the guest to place ice as they please. “The devil is in the details,” he says.
And he continued with the advice. If someone comes home and asks for a soft drink, you need to put a lid on the can. Yes, a soda can cover. Infallible advice to surprise guests. And there are no alternatives, as Martha Debayle says two-litre bottles are not an option. You’d think the two-litre sodas were invented to hand out to guests, but yeah, Martha Debayle says they shouldn’t be used, well, no way, they shouldn’t be used and nothing Better than a sock-style cover on the guest’s soda You’ll be surprised, no question.
It is not enough to offer sweet bread in a traditional way. You have to take it in a two-story tower. Well, that doesn’t actually look too bad, but when it comes to pan de dulce, Mexicans have a non-negotiable convention: it can come in any presentation, in a two-story tower or in the simplest tray imaginable, and still be enjoyed. But do you know: It is important to be a good host and for that you have to listen to the advice of baylístico. The whole thing ended with two pieces of advice quite similar to the previous ones, in which he talked about the advisability of offering iced tea with a full set of cups and vases, and a final piece of advice accompanying cheese and crackers.

Not surprisingly, this how-to series sparked a lot of jokes and skits. First in Martha’s own publication, which has comments like: “Steps to being a good host: Don’t invite Martha Debayle to your house”, “How can I not invite my guests to a two-liter Coke?” ? . And the mess continued on Twitter, where jokes were circulated about Debayle’s thinking and his recommendations, which are certainly classic in character, to no one’s surprise. “Martha will never use the yogurt cups to store beans.”
No doubt Martha Debayle already carries the meme tag with her, and to some extent she’s got it, because as long as she remains popular, despite jokes and ridicule, she will remain the center of conversation and nothing is guaranteed. In the meantime, he will continue to offer advice on everything.
