"Too Cool"
"Smooth"
"Awesome"
"I'm afraid if I'm too drunk I might throw it away with the empties."
Those are just a few of the quotes from the extended-Skarfe family Christmas, which occurred this year in non-bottle-redeeming Colorado, just in case you were worried about my family's non-recycling habits.
The Limebomber was a hit!
My mother and I bought two of them from www.limebomber.com; one for my almost-step dad and one for the household of my sister and my almost-brother-in-law. With a couple of well-placed hints, my sister had stocked her fridge with plenty of Corona and limes so we were able to dive right in.
... Including the Cat!
It was an experience. All five of us, six including the cat, crowded into the small kitchen to anxiously watch the Limebomber in action. The limes got sliced... good job! The Limebomber was loaded. The Limebomber was set up... .and BAM! The lime slid like butter right into the Corona! No mess, no sticky fingers, no wiping down necessary!
The Skarfe family was pleased! Coronas all around! (Even the Bud-drinking almost-step-dad and the Coors drinking almost-brother-in-law dove right in.) I'd almost say that the Corona tasted better... the lime essence was concentrated in the beer and not around the bottle! I could taste it throughout!
Just Be Careful!
There was only one problem... my mother and I sprung only for the original color Limebomber, and it does look a lot like a Corona bottle. If you're concerned about accidentally throwing it away, they come in other fantastic colors, but for a bit more money.
I just have one piece of advice if you decide to purchase this product. Think of the name in its literal sense. Limebomber. BOMB. Yes, a bomb explodes and creates chaos, but when you're around a bomb, or about to drop a bomb, you must be gentle with the bomb. Very gentle. It doesn't take much to bomb your lime into that Corona, or Dos Equis, or Pepsi. If you do, you'll end up with the mess and chaos of a real bomb, just like my almost-brother-in-law's younger brother. So keep that in mind... and if you're not standing in your own kitchen a few feet away from the Limebomber controller, you can chose yourself whether it's worth mentioning.
