😴 Welcome to Sleep or Laugh — where history is so dumb, it’s basically a bedtime dessert.

Tonight’s tale is The Pastry War (1838–1839) — the war where France bombarded Mexico over a broken window and a stolen tart. No, we’re not making that up.

Follow Joseph Remontel, an unlucky French baker in Mexico City whose smashed shop turns into a national diplomatic meltdown. Watch France demand 600,000 pesos in revenge for a mille-feuille. Witness Mexico blink slowly and say, “Seriously?” Then brace yourself as cannonballs fly, Santa Anna loses another leg, and someone literally fires sausage from a cannon.

From bakery disputes to blockades, from flan diplomacy to rear-end heroism, this is the true(ish) story of how a pastry started a war—and somehow, that wasn’t even the weirdest part.

🎧 Best enjoyed with snacks, a pillow fort, and zero faith in colonial logic.
