Tells you how old the average facebook user is; Corona is not good beer.

Gaaaah! I can't believe this.

The reason that Corona is typically served with a lime in the neck is to hide the typically "skunked" taste.

The reason that Corona is usually skunked is because it's bottled in clear glass to save money. Corona is considered cheap beer in Mexico.

Ultraviolet light skunks beer. The reason all decent beer (and even most bad beer) is bottled in tinted glass is to prevent UV light from skunking it if the bottled beer is exposed to sunlight.

Is the cardboard box clear? Do you own a clear cooler? Is your refrigerator...clear....didn't think so.

Yes, it's terrible. Stella on that list is far superior, so is Guinness. I've never been a Heineken lover myself. I like Beck's Dark, Negra Modello, Amstel light, and if I'm just hanging out I'd far prefer to drink a Michelob Ultra than a Corona any day.

I can remember it was so inexpensive we used to use it as ballast which could be sold in other ports in the Caribbean ... I think that's how it made South Florida

But the lime slice was used not for flavor but to keep flies out of the beer in the heat of the day

It's awful beer and Anheuser-Busch bought half the company to get a handle on the painted labeling process

I vote for Grolsch

This survey kinda explains the last Presidential election.
