Perfect.

Perfect.
On Friday, to celebrate Cinco de Mayo (which is actually Saturday, so this is pre-game), if you happen to live in San Francisco, you’ll be able to open the Uber app and request a “fiesta”.
What’s do you get with a “fiesta”, you may wonder?
Well, you get an SUV Uber that pulls up with a mariachi band that will play you a song, give you a bottle of margarita mix, and give you a stuffed piñata.
This will cost you $100 via in-app purchase, so choose your time and place wisely.
Yes, this is real.
The only thing stopping this from being the best thing ever is that you’ll have to supply your own tequila. La vida es dura.
Disclosure: CrunchFund is an investor in Uber — mainly because they do things like supply on demand mariachi fiestas for Cinco de Mayo.

So cool. Can we do this for all other sign ups?

Such a good idea. Other apps, do the same please.
(I also like Sarah’s disclosure: “CrunchFund-ed” — I’m going to steal that.)
