Review: Twang Beer Salt

I like beer.

I believe that's a sentiment most adult men can relate to (Mormons and Muslims excluded, of course). Few things in this world are as enjoyable as the simple pleasure of sucking down a cold one (or three...) after a long day's work.

Now, different kinds of beers go with different types of work. For instance, after eight hours of business meetings and sales calls, a couple bottles of Heineken might be appropriate. On the other hand, the completion of a full shift at a customer service job might call for a six-pack of Michelob Light.

These things are somewhat subjective, I'll admit. It would be acceptable to replace the Heineken with Beck's, or the Michelob Light with Miller Lite. But on one point there can be no ambiguity: after a long day of laboring in the sun, nothing hits the spot quite like a few ice-cold Coronas. With salt and lime, natch.

But, therein lies the problem. If you're like 99% of humanity, you don't keep a supply of fresh limes in the kitchen very often. In fact, you never do. So, this means a special trip to the grocery store must be made, which is pretty much the last thing a sweaty, stinky fella feels like doing.

And, even then, after arriving back home with 49 cents worth of limes, your mission is not complete. You must first wash the pesticide or bug s--- (depending on whether they're "organic" or not) off the limes. Then you have to find a clean, sharp knife. Then you have to avoid cutting yourself and letting lime juice pour into your open flesh wound. Then you have to de-seed the slice of lime, lest you choke on one while thirstily slurping down your Corona.

Sort of a pain in the butt, right? A minor inconvenience, but an inconvenience nonetheless, no?

Well, it's a good thing I found the solution: Twang Beer Salt!

Twang Beer Salt is, well, salt, but with natural lime flavor. It's made specifically for Mexican beers like Corona, and it even comes in a conveniently-shaped shaker that fits down the neck of your beer bottle, so the lime-salt doesn't wind up sprinkled all over your counter/carpet/lap/driver's seat/girlfriend's head.

I've tried it, and I highly recommend it. Go from mowing the lawn to pleasantly buzzed faster than you ever thought possible!
