don't ever drink any Ab again. destroy them. this has to b the response. they want to pull **** like this destroy them and don't stop.
Normally I'd agree with you. But this feels different, like it's the final straw for millions of regular Joes who've had it up to here with trans/woke bs. Bud Lite is so easily replaceable.Quote:He's correct if that's his assumption.Quote:
It's like he thinks everyone will just forget about it and move on from their repulsive ad.
So far all the responses on Twitter are saying the same thing.MemphisAg1 said:
Platitudes. I don't see any accountability in that statement.
If AB "never intended to be part of a discuss that divides people," it should have stayed out of politics. By hiring a dude that pretends to be girl, AB injected itself into one of the most divisive political issues of our time. If this guy didn't know that, then he shouldn't be CEO.MemphisAg1 said:

AB's next earnings call is on 5/4, but that will only cover through march. so this likely won't completely shake out in the stock price until we hit the august call. we'll check on the stock after that.Space-Tech said:
Sales on the week are meaningless.
Stock is what investors care about. They are even on the week.
Notice how the CEO didn't mention that they are reevaluating their partnerships or marketing strategies.
In the end it is incredibly ironic that the "anti-cancel culture" conservative couldn't help themselves but beg for attention on tik-toc (something themselves want to ban right now) as they pour out bud light that they had bought themselves or run it over with a truck (Ford & Chevy both support lgbt+ policies) an replace it with Miller, who if anything has been pro-lgbt longer than any other brewery.
Get a grip. We are not going back to the 50's.
This right here. It goes along with what I said earlier this week that these corporations have too much time on their hands if they can afford to get involved in politics and social engineering stuff.deddog said:StoneCold99 said:
The funniest part is their use of "heartland" and "freedom" and "hard work".
Some PR firm made millions off of that statement that says absolutely nothing but tries to say "we're sorry republicans" without actually saying it to stay woke.
This **** is why consumer businesses shouldn't get into politics. They can't apologize because that would piss off the rest of the country

All I hear when I read this is: "**** You! We will do what we want and don't give two ****s what you think."
Corporations (years ago) used to go out of their way to avoid anything remotely political for fear of something like this happening. AB, via Bud Lite, has given millions of beer drinkers a way to say "F you" to all the trans/woke craziness without any ramifications or fears of being cancelled themselves. They've empowered millions of conservatives who have felt powerless. It was such a massively stupid thing to do. It's like if Apple started running anti-abortion ads.Quote:This right here.

How do you as the CEO, knowing what great advertising campaigns you have had - frogs, real men of genius, Dilly Dilly - look at this one and go, yep this is a winner.
All management for that company should be looking for another job. Talk about not knowing your base.

I doubt the CEO signed off on anything more than "we are going to reach out to some social media influencers to generate some increased metrics on TikTok."
it's not the Marketing director!!SA68AG said:
