I can't take this page seriously. It entirely fails to mention https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coand%C4%83_effect


Real sailors arrive using the "colada" effect but lately there's been a growing reliance on the "chelada" effect since Modelo introduced those tasty red cans! They go down fast and make a day of sailing go even faster.
