Ridiculous. A much better reason not to buy Corona beer is because it’s like sex in a canoe.

I was expecting the link through to Urban Dictionary to say something like “A lot of tipping and sloshing, but nobody is really enjoying it”

[bobstreo]

Yeah it’s not really great beer. And seems very overpriced when you can get 30 packs of some cheaper lagers for about $18.

BUT, add some Franks Hot Sauce and some lime?

Delicious.

Good thing all those people have the right to vote…

Does this story say something about the intelligence of the average Corona drinker? I mean, they were fooled into thinking it was a premium beer…

Do these same folks wonder if you can get coronavirus from Uncle Joe’s coronary?

[anon29537550]

Ah, stupid, i know you are having a wonderful time with us, but isn’t it time for you to go back home now?

[anon61833566]

this Completely falls in line with my Biased narrative about the mental capabilities of those who drink corona beer.

What an excellent real-world example of how bell curves work!

Does the hot sauce kill the virus?

[jandrese]

38% just happens to be the percentage of Americans who support Trump no matter what. They are fully immunized against facts. Coincidence? Probably, but I’m suspecting there is still a strong correlation between the two groups.

That said, the wording of the survey may be in question here. The number of people who say they’ll never order a Corona was probably in the 20-30% range long before the disease hit.

In the interest of fairness, future outbreaks will be called Pacifcolitis, Budweisaids, and Heinekancer.

[stephen_schenck]

And the other 62% won’t buy Corona beer because they have taste.

Corona is awful, but one of the great trends these days in craft brewing are all these well-made Mexican-style lagers: 21st Amendment’s El Sully, Oskar Blue’s Beerito, Sierra Nevada Sierraveza, etc. Yum.

@Nasicournus

and Heinekancer.

Get your colonoscopy folks!

Much safer to drink an all-American craft beer, like this one:

Does this story say something about the intelligence of the average Corona drinker?

The average Corona drinker is still drinking Corona. Whether that makes them wiser or more foolish than the minority who stopped drinking Corona depends on your point of view.

Especially when Modelo is such a better choice and now widely available.
