It's the middle of the night but I cannot stop thinking about peeled limes and how evil and cursed the entire concept of peeling a lime is pic.twitter.com/W2OOV8kGZ4 [1]

The trending, mind-boggling Twitter question of the day is "Why would you ever peel limes? [3]" Twitter user @Exploditorium [4] called the concept "evil and cursed" and later "a crime against humanity" [5], leading to over 19K retweets and 49K "likes" so far. In my three decades on the planet, I can't say I've ever seen a peeled lime myself, and many on Twitter would agree. However, others recommend topping it with sugar [6] or even some salt [7]. Honestly, both sound pretty damn good, especially if chasing a tequila shot. As far as the process of peeling a lime, it might not be as easy as an orange. "Peeling a lime is the hardest thing....... #nevertrytopeelalime," says Instagram user locknesssa [8]. If I were to personally try it out, I'd probably supreme it [9], using a sharp knife to cup off the rind before slicing the segments.
