essentially this.  People don't seem to quite get that the reason sales have plummited has far more to do with Bud Lite now being the Virginia Slims of beers, than politics.  Right now there's some degree of politics, but eventually ABinBev will recover from that. But the Bud Lite brand itself is going to be a much much longer road.  Because nobody get's off their horse, puts up their rope, dusts off their hat, and whips out a pack of Virginia Slims in front of the crew.  That's what Bud Lite just did to themselves and every construction worker coming off the job site - et al.  Actually, worse, because a whole lot of women (virigian Slims smokers), actually aren't big fans of men pretending to be woman and fucking up their world either.

Against tabc regulations in Texas.
Every state has slightly different abc codes.

Damn good price for Stella. Too bad it’s AB. I’ll stick with my Peroni, though.

You got Peronies? TMI

I think Peroni is AB/InBev too?

Saw it in the big chart someone posted somewhere IIRC.

EDIT: I remembered wrong, apparently owned by Asahi.

I passed on some the other day because I remembered wrong lol!

A Newsweek poll?!?!?! I' m sure after this blockbuster news AB will book more transvestites for ads for baseball season marketing.

i'm ready for the store to give their cooler room to other beers, anheuser busch shit is just taking up room at this point

I agree.

Marketing classes around the world will be using Bud Light's misunderstanding of their core customer base as an example of what not to do in product marketing for decades to come.


It won't be long before those shelves are rearranged with less space for Bud products.

AB products have had a market majority for a long time. So much so that Bud marketers will come around and arrange the shelves for you, and they have been very good at arranging by sales.

When I managed a convenience store, the Miller guy wouldn't leave me alone saying that Bud only sold better because of product placement.

To get him to shut up, I told him he could rearrange the cooler for one month but that if sales of Miller didn't increase, he had to put it back.

He put it back the way it was after one month when sales didn't change at all.


Just like every other pole conducted by a propaganda bureau, I don't believe those numbers represent the facts.

My informal survey of stores I frequent show that Bud Light sales are down at least 30%.

It's not going to be fully understood until this summer.  Memorial day, the 4th of July, labor day, all the summer picnics, days on the lake or river....all will have much less AB.

I live in Missouri just 2 hours away in the Ozarks.  Usually all you can find on the rivers and lakes is AB products.  It's a hell of a time when competition may out sell in ABs back yard.

Grocery chain says Bud sales down 50%

I bought some of the aluminum 'bottles', because they are 59mm in diameter and I can shoot them out of my mortar; but this was before the tranny shit. I always intended to dump the beer out, and just use the cans, because that shit is not drinkable.

I'll find some proper 60mm cans next time.

That's what I'm thinking.  Don't those same polls also claim there are also 12% lgbltpdq?

Well of course they will continue supporting the brand.

I'm not so sure liberal college professors will use this as a teaching moment.

They chose their side. You would think they would consider the numbers first.
