The lime It is common in Europe, the United States, Australia and Canada for Corona to be served with a slice of lime in the neck. This practice is less common in Mexico itself, outside of areas frequented by tourists[citation needed]. Corona's heavy media presence in the United States may be the reason for the disparity in the two beer cultures. Beer-lime combinations such as the Chelada and the Michelada are however, popular in Mexico[citation needed].

The reason for the lime is that hop compounds degrade when they come into contact with light. This causes beer in clear bottles to turn 'skunky.' The lime is used to mask this aroma. [2]
Common myths surrounding the origin of the lime include:
This image has an uncertain copyright status and is pending deletion. You can comment on the removal. 1. The lime was originally to plug the neck of the bottle up to keep flies and other insects out of the beer.
2. The lime was used to clean the top of the bottle to ensure it was sanitary before drinkers would put their lips to the glass. The acidity of the lime juice was believed to kill anything that could be harmful to tourists (actually, not very likely). Over time tourists began to push the lime into the bottle, which brings us to today's common occurrence of adding lime to Corona.
3. The lime was used to clean the neck of the bottle from the rusty remains of the bottle cap. In the early days the bottle caps were made very simply and often left rust stains on the bottle neck, leading to a rather bad taste. In Korea, slices of lemon are widely used in place of lime slices because limes are not widely available and are quite expensive in East Asia [citation needed].

In the Philippines, half a calamansi is used in place of lime. The calamansi is a citrus fruit native to the Philippines that is closely related to the lime.

In Australia, either a slice of lemon or a slice of lime is used, and, depending on what the bar has, patrons are often given a choice of either lemon or lime with lemon being more popular in most bars.[citation needed].
In 1998, Eurocermex began trying to register the image of a clear bottle with a slice of lime in the neck as a community trade mark, but on June 30, 2005, the European Court of Justice rejected it as indistinctive.
The outline of a bottle with a slice of lime can be seen in Corona POS Merchandise, as well as the European Corona website. Interestingly, there are no images of bottles with limes on the Mexican Corona website.
