'Answer to the Corona and Lime Question'

We got an interesting question on the site a while back and wanted to answer it. A user called Franky4Fingers asked:

Hello Mexicans, Why do Mexicans have a wedge of lime in their Corona? Many thanks, F4F

First of all, good question, second of all, poorly asked. Mexicans should be capitalized, franky, and it's not just the [404 Check: was link to http:/ / www. funnyhitman. com/ Mexican. htm, anchor: Mexican] 's who do it. With that said, I'll just answer the question.

There are different theories, and here are the biggest ones.
1 – To sanitize the bottle neck with the citric acid,
2 – To keep flies out of it, assuming that's a real concern,
3 – To wipe rust that may have formed from the cap,
4 – To take away that famous, skunky beer taste.

Limes are everywhere in most of Mexico, so it's an easy, usually free addition most people like. Why do people put hot sauce on burritos, salt on tortillas, or dip in guacamole? Mexicans will add lime to just about anything, food and beverage alike. Better question is why they put a worm in the tequila.

So why do you put cream in your [404 Check: was link to http:/ / www. funnyhitman. com/ coffee. htm, anchor: coffee] ?
