A simple bottle-shaped plastic device, the LimeBomber™ easily squeezes and inserts lime and other fruit wedges into the narrow openings of beer, soda, iced tea or water bottles in one swift motion – a convenient, sanitary, fun way to enjoy a popular trend.
Being an avid golfer, there's nothing like an ice cold beer after you've been hacking your way around the golf course for four to five hours.
John is the locker room attendant/ bartender where I play golf. Unlike most bartenders, John has many functions that go well beyond just tending bar, lets just say he's got his hands in everything! Now, before I go on with the story, I feel obligated to tell you a little bit about John. You see, John is one of those guys that if you’re lucky enough to meet, you will never forget. He goes out of his way to make others feel good regardless of how he's feeling. In a world of some of the most high-powered executives, celebrities and entrepreneurs, he is an extreme dose of realism that touches everyone that’s fortunate enough to meet him. He has the personality of ten all rolled up into one, and we love him!
I get done with my round of golf and make my way to the locker room bar. John greets me as usual and asks me "what would you like to drink"? I told John "a bottle of Corona with a lime". Now, I've already told you John likes to go the extra mile in everything he does, so picture this. John brings me a bottle of Corona and has his shoe polished, yellow nailed smoker’s finger halfway down my bottle of beer. I said, John "make it a Miller Lite", and the rest is history!
Inventor: Brian Hill
Hill is not new to inventive ideas. While at Redi-Cut Foods, he helped develop a process for extracting moisture from produce without spinning, a process that all but eliminated food damage while drying, and a huge revolution in the industry. Major restaurants, McDonald's included, have used the process to get longer shelf life for tossed salads. After years of running his consulting firm, Brian Hill and Associates, he founded Palcon Systems. At Palcon, Hill developed a device that let warehouse workers know when pallets were stored in place perfectly with a laser-triggered sound. Both ideas were extraordinarily successful, but with the Lime Bomber™, Hill has taken on an entirely new challenge. There is still a long road to travel, and the horizon is ripe with opportunity, none of which is lost on Hill. “Good things take time,” he says, proving that, in a day and age where so much doubt hangs over the nation, the entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well.
Lime Bomber consists of two parts, a “loader”, and a “plunger”, and is amazingly easy to use: simply place the fruit wedge into the “loader” that sits on top of a bottle, then push the “plunger” down into the loader, and viola! – no sticky fingers, no spraying juices, and your beverage just the way you like it.

This helpful item certainly takes the 'grunt' out of getting a lime into beer bottle. One cut into a lime, add to lime bomber, result is more sipping time! I love mine.
