If you've ever drank in Mexico, you'd know it's to keep the flies out of your beer.

Keeps out flies. When I was a young sailor enjoying liberty at the Baja cantinas, every beer was served with a lime wedge and you lifted it to drink and put it back afterwards. Dumb gringo tourists thought it was some kind of garnish or flavor enhancer. The Mexicans just shrugged and let them do what they wanted to do.

Corona is made from recycled sewqge water. Mexicans do not drink it.

In Viet Nam we would turn the bottles of “Tiger 33”
upside down to see if it would eat through the cap.

Any beer you have to put a lime in to drink, is not a beer. Corona is Mexican piss water.
