Quote HistoryQuoted: She did not like the "frat boy image" she sure did a good job of getting frat boys to stop buying the product. How does she propose to replace that sales volume is the next question. Selling beer at a lose is not the answer. But that seems to be the plan. She sure liked behaving like a frat boy when she was in school... |

I've always thought lacrosse is a pretty viable football substitute, or sportsball alternative generally. There's contact, but not routine brain-damaging contact. There's more scoring than hockey or soccer, it's fast-moving like basketball, there's a lot of passing involved that requires skill to both throw and catch (like baseball). The men on the field are more well-rounded athletes, almost like a team of QBs and TEs.

Quote HistoryQuoted: What if the brand is sold at rock bottom price to an American company that knows what is right? Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: AB might be able to course correct if they launch a new ad depicting a very traditional blue collar family. Dad comes home from a long day at his blue collar job. Wife opens the door and he's greeted by the kids running up to hug him. They go inside and mom promptly hands dad a bud light and he sits in his chair and talks with the kids while mom goes to the kitchen to make dinner. Maybe even depict a Bible, crucifix or rosary in the background. A few million in donations to family oriented charities/organizations wouldn't hurt. They could film a Klan style Rally where they burn that Dylan tranny freak alive at the steak and I wouldnt drink their beer if it was free. You dont win by capitulating to pandering. You win by putting your vanquished foes heads on sticks outside your city wall. What if the brand is sold at rock bottom price to an American company that knows what is right? It’d be funny in that scenario if Trump bought it. Imagine the turn around in sales and how butthurt it’d make the left. |

I think it’s a trend at this point.
I found out this weekend that some serious blue collar drinkers I know that they have stopped buying AB. They drink at least a case or two a week since forever ago. They’ve been drinking the same AB product for decades and I thought they’d never switch. They gave up that AB beer and found a regional light beer they like better. AB won’t ever be getting them back. I was then in my local bar that has an attached liquor store. They’ve never been one to have product placement items. First, the waitress put down some new AB promotional beer coasters for us. Second, I noticed three pallets of various AB products taking up a good portion of the liquor store’s floor space with very clear promotional signage. My assumption from those things is their AB distributor is trying desperately hard to promote AB products, and might even be offering some really good incentives for bars and retailers. Lastly, I know a friend of a friend that is a bartender for a very conservative dive/biker bar. According to what I heard, customers stopped ordering Bud branded beers but instead unknowingly ordered other AB products. The bartender apparently made it very well known they were still drinking AB beer by mocking the customers. He’s apparently got everyone away from AB products now. The next quarterly report will be very telling. |

Quoted: The meeting is scheduled for 2:00 PM eastern. All field reps are required to return to their respective terminals for a mandatory teleconference at the same hour. I'm not sure if the meetings are the same or separate for the reps. Things are way worse for AB than they are allowing the public to know. I got this info from a person I know that orders for a bar. His rep told him this a short time ago. I wonder if it's the official death of Bud Light? Congrats to all. I'm doing my part too. I've loved AB Light pilsner beers for decades. Not anymore...or ever again under any circumstances. Consider avoiding all the other brands owned by Anheuser-Busch too. You can find a nice graphic online showing them all. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I think one of the lessons here is that telling people to boycott and why doesn't work. Everybody deciding at once "fuck those fuckers" does work. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: This is the first time we've truly employed our economic power as a team. I like the results so far, and we're not done. We should do this more often. And by that I mean all the fucking time. Boycotts work. If the people who actually have the money employ them. Everybody deciding at once "fuck those fuckers" does work. So revolution can't be formulated and organized like a community rummage sale; it must arise spontaneously and be fueled by the convictions of the oppressed. Somebody famous probably said something to that effect at some time in the past. |
