With a slice of lemon please....!
I have just learned something interesting about one of my favourite drinks. The reason why the name which appears in Blackletter, which forms part of it's identity is because when 'stuff' was being shipped more and more around the world, more specifically from Europe to Mexico (homeland of Corona beer) in the 15th century, boxes, barrel ls or crates would have this lettering upon it, becasue of it's prior popularity since the 12th century in Europe. The Mexicans adopted this and it became an integral part of their culture. This lettering can now be seen all over Mexico.
