 They usta did. They bought out every competitive brand, started peddling 
 the same water in different bottles. It was so bad, people started 
 importing their beer to get a little taste.  The kids that usta buy 
 their Budwater graduated from college and wanted a real beer flavor, so they
 sold the farm to some conglomerate that peddles their products through 
 Wally's China-Mart stores.  And because no large brewery was left to 
 satisfy a need for a beer, all the local breweries have sprung up peddling 
 pretty darn decent stuff.
 
 I think the final touch was when they put a lime {Blech} in Corona 
 ( A Budwater brand ) as though it made it into a sick Margaretta.
 Now however they are even selling the stuff with the lime in the bottle
 (double puke.)  The only part of the Margarita they could have kept as
 aiding in the flavor is the salt, and it should have been on the pretzels 
 that could have come with a six pack.
 
 Ever drive around a couple hundred miles below the border?  You will never
 see a Corona sign, what you see on big red circular signs at gas stations 
 is Tecate, a real Mexican beer sold from iced coolers where you put your 
 coins in and slid the bottle down to the opening.. 
 
 Advertising sells garbage and we lap it up..  Wally's China-Mart where
 you can buy all those things that used to be made in the Americas that
 are now made in other lands so they importers could make a lot of money
 to spend advertising how cheaply we could buy them.
 
 It would be a bit better if they were made here again as folks might have 
 a few bucks coming in too buy them with.
