SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 (edited) a lot of off the wall threads .... so I'll contribute Why did yuppies put lime in Corona's? at the time of this new trend (shortly after TBH) I had traveled to Mexico and South America. and not one bar I frequented put a piece of fruit in my beer.

Royale with Cheese Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I put limes in my Corona mofo. Not just at the bar but at home. Why else have a cutting board? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Not sure if it's a yuppie thing. In my opinion, Corona tastes like a skunk's ass and people probably put lime in it to make it drinkable. A slice of orange seems to be the norm when people order a Blue Moon. Whenever I get one, I tell them to hold the orange. Fruit and beer don't go well together for me. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was/is a trendy drink. I stick by my theory that people put lime in it to make it taste less like a skunk's ass. But, yeah .... I'm sure a lot of people drank/drink it so they "look cool," even though they think it tastes like crap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I have to drink Blue Moon, I put a slice of lemon because an orange is overkill to me. 8 minutes ago, Gugny said: I think it was/is a trendy drink.

Coronoa by itself is isn't drinkable...Corona with a lime or if it's 100 degrees out and you're just really thirsty is the only way I drink it.

Because the bar was out of...never mind, want to keep my warning points at zero. Go to youtube and search on restaurant scene in beer league, here what the waitress says to the third guy that orders. Freakin' hilarious. As for me, just stay away from any beer that is best served with or has the name of fruit in it. Double whammy on Corona since it comes in a clear bottle.

I was in Nairobi in the early 80s and their beer litterally tasted like you were drinking from a 10 year old sneaker. So at dinner(s) I tried ordering a Tequila (response) huh? Tequila , huh? Never mind, give me a double shot of Vodka and Ice tea. They brought me a glass of Iced Tea and a double shot of Vodka. that was my go to for 3 weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweats Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 The lime is supposed to be rubbed around the rim of the bottle to ward off any bacteria, so says my Mexican buddy who has used the trick countless times in sub par Mexican bars, however, people in North America dump their lime into their beer like they know what they’re doing..........they don’t.
