Is the slice of lemon stuffed into a Corona to get rid of the sulphur?

Question

Sulphur is used as a preservative, just like it is in wine. Sniff a Corona when you first open the bottle and you can smell the sulphur.

Answer 1

Yeah you can use lemon or lime... but the lime is better... i guess it's just to get ridd of that skunky smell and taste... makes a horrible smell to a beautifull rich tasting beer

I LOVE CORONA!!!!!

Answer 2

I thought you stuffed in a lime, and I just like it for the flavor. Oh, and for perfecting my skill at getting the lime tipped all the way to the bottom without spraying half the bar.

Answer 3

To hide the taste of Corona Beer.

I'd rather a beer that you don't need to put fruit into personally.

Answer 4

I have seen either a lemon or lime and its to enhance the taste of the beer. It complements it nicely, I prefer the lime.

Answer 5

Actually I havent heard of this. I do know that most Hispanics drink beers regardless of the brand with a lime or lemon wedge. It seems to be more of a cultural purpose.

Answer 6

All it really does it makes the beer less bitter so you can drink more. It's also image.

I hate the stuff. Here it's a premium beer. In Mexico, the poorest of peasants won't touch the stuff. Says allot I think.

Answer 7

LEMON???????? Your supposed to put LIME in it. I dont know why but they put limes in EVERYTHING in Mexico. I have been there and its just a thing they do, I think there must be a real excess of limes in that country. If you think about it we have carried this on with margaritas & mojitos as well and now we have lime flavored nachos & doritos too!

Answer 8

The mexicans use a slice of lime to keep them there pesky flies from drinking their beer!

Answer 9

mmmmmm, id love a cold corona right now..... Love the zingy taste of the lime on the bottle top..... Shame im at work- think they might frown upon drinking on the job

Answer 10

Lemon? It should be lime - and it just adds to the flavor - it's almost like having a Tequiza.
