if there's no fruit, I'll eat the snow from the drinking fountain

My comment:

In Mexico "pilon" is a drinking fountain. The meaning of the expression would translate as "if I absolutely must pick I'll even pick this option"

My comment:

Esta es una expresión o modismo muy mexicano, al comprar algo se solía pedir un poco más ya sea del mismo producto o de otra cosa.
