Of course they're horses so they probably don't care.

Are you sure you have not sat in on a 15 hour lecture about Daigou in the last 3 years ??

I am all for the boycott- but AB is part of AB InBev, a massive Belgian company that owns, among others, Budweiser, Corona, Stella, Beck's, Busch, Modelo, Pacifico, Natty, Shock Top, Ziegenbock, Lowenbrau, Spaten, St. Pauli Girl, Foster's, Breckenridge Brewery, Elysian, KARBACH, Labatt, and Michelob. Plus hundreds of other labels in dozens of countries. Their only real competition is MillerCoors, which owns just about everything else.

So, if you want to avoid Bud, there's your list.

---

It's a little complicated but Constellation Brands owns Corona, Modelo, and Pacifico in the United States only. AB owns them globally except in the US. There was an agreement with the US government anti-trust regulators to sell the US distribution to Constellaton.

So 99.98% didnt care?

I try to muster some sympathy for the conglomerate, but I can't. You made your customer base for the brand, strayed egregiously by those customers when you went exploring for other patrons on the down low, and have to live with the consequences once it went viral.

Bud Light was in essence cu*****ing a large segment of its customers with Mulvaney, and InBev paid to make it happen. That seems like a lot to ask BL drinkers to smilingly swallow, without even taking into account double entendres.

Edit: No changes

Thinking about that guy who got trapped in the bud light warehouse on holiday weekend when racks of bud light collapsed around him. Found him dehydrated but survived by drinking his own piss.

The unknown fact how is much cash money saved avoiding turnt ****** testosterone fueled dress shopping spree.

This is 100% confirmation that they were absolutely demolished sales-wise in the past week.

(Not that we didn't already know)

---

They were demolished, as they should have been, and this statement is nothing more than gobbledygook.

Puro gobbledygook, and cowardess to boot.

I haven't bought an InBev AB product since Karbach sold out and went to shat.

I think I might respect Antonio Brown more than the other AB.

Platitudes. I don't see any accountability in that statement.

And it looks like it was signed by his Secretary or daughter.

Seriously thought this thread was about Antonio Brown at first. I could totally see him pulling a Kanye and "run for President"

Working today, driving most of yesterday but skimmed over the first 5 pages...

Some early debate over the stock price and lack of movement. Consider though...

Just over the last month, so from before this kicked off through yesterday...
Molson-Coors (TAP) +7.5%
AB InBev (AB) -1.2%
S&P500 +5.7%

So just one quick look, when their competion beat the market, AB was flat.

Heard yesterday that one bar in Hells Kitchen NYC with a heavy gay crowd reported 80% decrease in BL sales. If a trend like that holds it shows that the LGB crowd is tiring of the TQ crowd. They might not be tweeting it, they might not be protesting it... but NOT tweeting it, not buying the beer is still speech.

They would have been better off not saying anything vs that crap. They actually just poked the bear even more

I hope these woke Turds keep poking the bear!

Now let Donald Trump buy AB on sale and see what happens…..

Or

Elon??

I was in a hardware store in East Texas yesterday morning.. Overheard someone two or three aisles over telling his friend he'd never drink Bud Light again. Pretty sure he was being loud on purpose to let everyone in the store know his opinion.

Social media is great and all but the real test is what do you drink with your friends. It's going to be interesting to see how hard peer pressure keeps this outrage/boycott going. Let's be honest, even the most brand loyal Bud Light beer drinker will drink an alternative product if his friends apply enough peer pressure.


I'm guessing over the next week or so we will see videos of monster trucks destroying 100s of cases of excess/old inventory and people using BL cans as target practice in more and more creative ways. I wouldn't be surprised to see a few neon signs get smashed.


An interesting decreased sales datapoint to look at would be Bud Light sales in VFWs around the country. Guessing that would be in the 95% to 98% range.

This is the equivalent of Hennessy doing a commercial about a slave owner drinking some Hen while his worker was picking cotton

If someone out there loves AB's horse swill but does not in any way, shape, or form agree with the trans lifestyle that the public is being told is normal and should be celebrated, but continues to purchase the horse swill, then that at the very least affirms tacit approval via this marketing campaign. On the other hand, if that person decides to no longer purchase the horse swill, then their complete list of choices has been impacted. AB has a whole lot more beer brands than I was aware of, as evidenced in this thread. And yeah, this person could simply buy a non-AB brand

but I'll put it in somewhat different terms since I am not a beer drinker. You have Coca-Cola or Dr Pepper, and then you have Texas A&M entering into a contract to sell only Pepsi at their athletic venues. I happen to love Cokes and DPs, but not so much anything Pepsi. Yeah, I could buy the Pepsi if the DP machine happens to be unavailable, but I'm settling for a choice that I don't want, or I could do without. The latter is not a great choice for when I just want a Coke/DP.

All corporations should stay out of the political arena. The people who make up these corporations are free to have their own political opinions, but these corporations are not in the political business. Sell your product and keep your political opinions to yourselves as was once the case.

None of that told me how they are imposing their views on you. They can not force you to think like them.

Also, supporting a minority group of people is not a political view. The only reason it has anything to do with politics is because the GOP needed another politically weak group to attack to distract its aging base.

Do you actually think that Republicans woke up one day and decided to attack a minority group? I mean, never mind what the assclowns in the Democrat party are telling everyone that they must support and celebrate. A member of this particular minority group just went into a Christian school and murdered some Christians, to which the White House expressed sympathy - to the mentally ill shooter, not the Christian victims.

They can not force you to think like them.

They can't, but they're trying. That's exactly what these corporations and the Democrats are doing as well. Especially with their attack on women.

On one side of their ass, they say we support women and then in the same breath, they say it's OK for biological men to beat them in sports and sell Tampax. That's bull*****

That's what most of all these movements are now. How dare you not agree with us and not recognize us and our lifestyles and our perversions in some cases and since you're not going to we're going to double down and be more obnoxious.

That's what they're doing

And people don't like it, so they're speaking up, and they're talking with their wallets which they also have a right to do. And then those same people are saying how dare you, what's wrong with you? It's just a beer, chill out. And God dammit you will except our lifestyle and like it or else. Remember to bake the cake issue. Those couples could've easily gone to another bakery, but they turned it into a war.

People can live their lives however, the hell they want to, but it isn't about them just living their lives anymore. They want to force it out in the open like with the drag queen things, and the pornography in the elementary schools, and teachers offering binder supports and keeping the children's ideas from their parents. Hell they defended a trans shooter the other week because they felt she was a victim to. She wasn't.

And then want to force people to accept and support their lifestyles as in the process and screaming and yelling, like little children at the courthouse is after the Tennessee issue.

I know you cannot be this obtuse. You can't not see what's really going on.

Hey ChatGPT, I'm the CEO of anheuser-busc. My company recently took an action that was extremely unpopular with my customers. I don't want to apologize foo the action, though, because I'm afraid of angering the mob and being canceled. Write me a long-winded letter with lots of emotional appeals that talks about America and the military and other similar topics but does not actually apologize or even address the issue head on
