I don't buy Corona beer because it tastes like weak penguin piss

[stopbush]

Right down there with Budweiser.

[Thyla]

1. Finally, yes!

[Cartoonist]

2. How does strong penguin piss taste?

Just curious.

[Rorey]

3. It's a little more vibrant than weak penguin piss

Or so I'm told.

[Jamastiene]

4. I prefer Everclear.

I'm not a big beer fan in the first place.

I'm not going to ask what weak penguin piss tastes like. Even with Everclear 190, I've never been that drunk.

[braddy]

5. I was shocked when the marketers turned my cheap Mexican beer into the hip beer at high cost.

[MyOwnPeace]

35. THAT'S the answer - marketers!

It's a basic lager - nothing special - certainly not bad - so how do you get people to buy it?

ANSWER: Marketers!

2-step plan:

#1. It's "exotic" - yes, IMPORTED!!!!! (from Mexico)

#2. It's "special" - it comes with a LIME!!!!!! (allegedly used to keep flies out of the bottle......)

[retread]

6. That's not penguin piss. n/t

[treestar]

7. How do you know what that tastes like?

[Sneederbunk]

18. And where do you do your drinking?

[Joinfortmill]

8. I like Corona beer - a lot

But then I've never tasted penguin pee or any other kind of pee, for that matter.

[Brainfodder]

9. I don't drink alcohol because of its harm factor.

To each his own, but it is a factor for shortening and affecting QOL for many, never mind the drunk driving & stupidity deaths that can be attributed to it?

I've known 5 alcoholics, 3 died before 65, the other 2 aint aging well either, I see a pattern, what oh what could it be?

Sharing is caring, and yeah I never was a booze hound, but I decided it was best to avoid entirely on my own giving the evidence that I couldn't ignore? (10 years ago)

Worse: 2 classmates in H.S. One dead at 28, one late 40's, killed by drunk drivers while they were WALKING.

Worstest: 1 of those 2, his best friend killed himself a year later succumbing to depression.

So.... still want that beer?

[dem4decades]

27. Why yes i do. Actually i'm watching me weigh so maybe wine.

[griffi94]

10. That's only the Corona Lite

The regular Corona tastes like the piss of some other, more robust flightless bird. Like an Emu.

[Raftergirl]

11. I like Corona too,

but I’m not a big beer fan.

Imo, the worst beer is Heineken. It tastes like skunk.

[MFGsunny]

31. oh, noes you didn't!!!!!!!

[trackfan]

36. I like Heineken; but, then again, I don't really mind skunk.

Some years ago a skunk sprayed one of our animals near an open window, and the smell was very strong through the whole house. At first it was unbearable. Then, I realized it really smelled pretty much like garlic, which I love. So I just pretended someone was cooking with a lot of garlic, and it didn't bother me after that.

12. Try putting a Lime in it

That's the trick

[AncientGeezer]

22. Corona virus and "Lime" disease....hell no

[cwydro]

39. You win the thread!

[phylny]

38. That's how my husband drinks it :)

[hlthe2b]

13. I'd agree with you on Corona Lite but though I love microbrews, regular Corona is not bad

with lime, of course.

[PCIntern]

14. I used to have a beer glass which said

HORSEPISS. on the side in red letters.

[MFM008]

15. It was my sisters

Favorite beer. Weak.

[GusBob]

16. Corona Extra vs Corona Familiar

Familiar ( in the brown bottle) is pretty good

Extra not so much

[Cicada]

17. Among themselves the staff at a Mexican Restaurant called it Cabrona, a slur

A friend of mine inherited his mother’s Mexican Restaurant. The Spanish speaking staff conveying the order called it Cabrona, a slur meaning an obnoxious person, because they had total contempt for it. Back then, the eighties in LA, Trader Joe’s used to sell a Mexican Bock beer, made for Christmas when the copper kettles were cleaned out, called Noche Buena. It was extra flavorful because of the residues from cleaning. I learned about that super duper great Mexican beer from him. God damn Heineken, the corporate owner, has stopped shipping it to the US.

[Paladin]

19. I'll drink a Corona---but Dos Eqis is much better. (nt)

[sdfernando]

20. Well OK...but answer me this...

how often do you or drink penguin piss?

I mean you must have at some point to make the comparison valid...yes?

[GulfCoast66]

21. Can say about flightless bird piss...

But corona is indeed as shitty a beer as there is on the market. I never see Mexicans drink it at the authentic restaurants I frequent. They drink Modelo(honestly not much better), Victoria or Bohemia, which is a decent brew.

[MyNameGoesHere]

23. You may want to stop drinking piss

There's a guy on Twitter that already does that. Besides, it's doubtfully the brewery imports penguin piss.
Mexico has a long brewing history. Albeit mostly pale lagers in the 20th century. But for some of the traditional corn brews you might be on to something. Feces and spit were used to make the fermentation work better.

According to Sinebrychoff, a Finnish company owned by the Carlsberg Group, Corona Extra contains barley malt, corn, hops, yeast, antioxidants (ascorbic acid), and propylene glycol alginate as a stabiliser. Propylene glycol alginate is a synthetic, colorless, odorless, tasteless liquid that belongs to the same chemical class as alcohol. <<--- No penguin piss.

[COLGATE4]

24. Corona is a crappy excuse for a Mexican beer

whjch is essentially exported to the US. For real (good) Mexican beer IMO you can't beat Dos Equis (XX).

[Initech]

25. As I said in another post, it's great to cook with.

Any of the cheap Mexican beers - Corona, Modelo, Dos Equis, Tecate, Pacifico, those are great to cook with. But as far as actually drinking them? Hell no!

[awesomerwb1]

26. So what does weak penguin piss taste like?

Gotta have tried both to know they taste alike right?

[Initech]

33. I'm sure there's a way to try both!

[Sophiegirl]

28. At least it won't kill you....I think. nt

[Laelth]

29. Like making love in a canoe ..

... f’ing close to water.

30. I worked at a Budweiser dist. for years. We joked about Corona being skunk beer and that's

why they had to put a lime in it. Then years later, we have Bud Light lime. I only really like one product of theirs these days. Those Bud chelada's with picante are pretty good. I'm a big fan of clamdiggers. Kind of like a bloody mary but with clamato juice. Those chelada's are the closest thing I can get in a store.

[SergeStorms]

32. I agree.

If it were the last beer on earth I might possibly drink it, but otherwise...........nah!

[MLAA]

34. I like Corona served icy cold. I will, however, pass on the real penguin piss

[cwydro]

37. I've never tasted weak penguin piss.

Or even strong penguin piss.

[kentuck]

40. Dos Equis Amber

[Maeve]

41. And now there's a song going thru my head...

Put that Budweiser back in the Clydesdale,
It‟s not the right flavor for me.
The color‟s all wrong and there‟s not enough foam,
And it‟s got all the kick of weak tea.
Pull me a pint of that good Guinness stout
With a body you cannot see through;
Put that Budweiser back in the Clydesdale, boys,
And pour me a beer that is true!

[XRubicon]

42. It's a virus

That tastes bad.
