Another update on the disappointing stupidity of the human species, Corona Beer has temporarily ceased production because the company’s sales have been so low. Turns out most people think that by drinking a beer that coined the name ‘Corona’ back in 1925, will lead to the contraction of coronavirus in 2020. Note there is a century difference between the two.
In a time when technology has propelled us into the era of discovery, space exploration and intellectual conquests, we can all take comfort knowing most people use their smartphones to become dumber.
More specifically, the Mexican Government has officially halted the production of the beer because it was deemed ‘non-essential’, but who is he kidding? If there’s one thing I know to be true in this world is that alcohol thrives in depressions and economic booms.
Grupo Modelo is working tirelessly to get their company re-opened under the explanation they are actually an agricultural interest. This may be true, but nothing is going to stop people from thinking the beer is liquid COVID-19. I like to believe these are among the same demographic that think chocolate milk comes from brown cows. Or that fortune cookies were invented in China.
Grupo Modelo stated,
“If the federal government considers it appropriate to issue some clarification confirming beer as an agro-industrial product, at Grupo Modelo we are ready to execute a plan with more than 75% of our staff working from home and at the same time guaranteeing the supply of beer.”
Moreover, the only thing that can trump alcoholism is the fear of contracting a respiratory virus. I bet that would have been useful to know during the era of prohibition.
