Corona is for feminists and their castrated lapdogs

You've seen the commercials...

1. Couple sitting on the beach. Guy ogles hot babe walking by...chick takes lime wedge and sprays his face.

2. Couple sitting on the beach. Chick ogles hunk walking by...guy takes her unopened bottle and shakes it up. She reaches over...and takes the unshaken bottle!

The message is clear--don't mess with women, they are too smart for losers like you. Now I thought I was just a curmudgeon, but when I brought it up at the tavern the other night, every guy there was onboard with "Yeah, I thought the same thing.", etc. Is anybody else avoiding this Virginia Slims brew? Cuz if you take off your skirt and put down your purse, the other babe will give you a Miller Lite.

I don't avoid it because of the commercials, I avoid it because it tastes like butt water.

This. I avoid corona because it sucks even with a lime in it (who puts fruit in beer to make it taste good?), not to avoid whatever image they are trying to market. Sleepytime,...you watch too much TV.

Whatever. Usually the more a beer company tries to be hip and cool with their advertising, the worse the product. And considering Corona is basically the Budweiser of Mexico, that would prove-out in this case as well.

That does make it easier. And any TV is too much.

Hey, I'm not that much of a snob. If someone buys me a Bud -- and it's cold -- I'll drink it. I try not to spend my own $$ on it though.

Ahem! Sam Adams Cherry Wheat, Belgian Raspberry beers, etc etc. There's lot of good beers with a small taste of fruit.

I tend to think that anyone who decides what they're going to drink based on advertising, whether positive or negative, is going to be disappointed. If you like Corona, drink it. If you don't like Corona drink something else. And if you're so insecure in your manhood that a supposedly feminist beer commercial bothers you, drink Michelob Ultra. Save the beer for the rest of us.

I like my beer to taste like beer which equals the balance of malt and hops. Too much malt is too sweet and that gives me a headache. Too much hops is too bitter and,......gives me a headache.

I like Corona in the summer. No fruit. Yeah, it does taste like
Buttswatser but then again only the first one. After that I
get over it.

I thought all the commercials were based on EricF's avatar
anyway.

I used to drink Michelob when they pronounced it Meechalahb.
Don't like the 'Ultra', tastes like they upped the water content
and lowered the beer content.

Unfortunately, I can't drink or do anything anymore but when I did I loved Fosters(great commercials too) iced or warm. If the dude in the commercial was a real man he would have poured the beer on her when she looked at the studmuffin instead of just shaking it and then she won anyway
