Or would some Ziggy Marley be a bit more appropriate? Yeah,,I say spice it up!

As a longtime resident of Mexico (a long time ago), I recall bartenders routinely putting a slice of lemon (Mexicans don't call 'em limes, they call 'em lemons -- even if they're limes. But let's don't go there...) on glasses of beer in fancy places like tourist hotels in the 1960s. Then, riding the train from Nogales to Mazatlan where i lived in the 1970s, I started seeing people sticking a lime on top of cans of Tecate. That practice became ubiquitous, but only on Tecate cans. Corona came along years later and adopted the practice. In the 70s and 80s we used to go to Tijuana fairly regularly. It's a place where Corona is/was popular and I didn't see the lime on a Corona until the late 80s. The squib in Parade has a major flaw.
