I cant keep up. I was gonna post something similar... But think you need to get the "pronoun" right. Lead with they/them, I think is what they prefer to be called, covering their multiple personalities For the record, I have never drank that garbage.. Sierra Nevada all day everyday |

I think owning a Clydesdale would be awesome. I wonder if the are saddle broken?

I own a restaurant. The taunting is not anecdotal. Buddies are calling each other fags for ordering any AB product. We took BL down weeks ago but it’s absolutely spreading to their entire portfolio.
We won’t have any AB products for sale when the taps run dry. |

Quoted: I don't even drink & have been enjoying the show. Someone mentioned earlier that the loss of Memorial Day weekend sales are going to bite them hard. I'm kind of looking forward to it, honestly. View Quote Loss of Memorial Day sales will indeed hit them hard. Then comes June, which I am told is Pride month. I don’t know much about Pride month celebrations, but I kind of figure beer drinking is part of it. After June comes the 4th of July celebration. I think it involves beer drinking also. But I have been assured boycotts don’t work and that bad publicity is good for sales. I am enjoying my BUD short.?? |

Quoted: Anheuser-Busch chief executive, Michel Doukeris has attempted to distance the company from the Mulvaney partnership and told investors during an earnings call last week, "We need to clarify the facts that this was one can, one influencer, one post and not a campaign. Guess he forgot it was a 'partnership" |

Quoted: Sigh. You don't realize I'm actually giving you a benefit in the argument by not comparing P&G. Look up P&G's performance since their woke campaign. P&G stock was $96 when Gillette launched the toxic masculinity campaign. Their stock today is $153. Yeah. Go woke, go broke. That'll ring true. They have literally added $135 BILLION to their market cap since they launched their woke campaign.

Quoted: I don't think you understand how sales and profit are measured in the stock market and how companies are valued. Nobody gives a shit about the 7 billion lost. It's nothing. So you end your year's sales at a 100ix on sales and about a 103ix probably on profit. Still up from the year, so stock price will go up all else equal. In a company like AB fixed overhead cost like SG&A is probably 3% of sales and depreciation which is non cash is maybe 20%. So cash expense is probably somewhere around 90% variable. So they have very little fixed cost hurt from this, so they simply see a consumption shift and frankly a 6% consumption shift sometimes happens in a normal year if competition is stiff, which isn't uncommon. And this is with all the media blowing it up. Give it two months for shit to blow over and their guidance to wall street (which was barely altered) will likely rebound. View Quote Do you really think this thing is over in two months? That people are going to be back to buying Bud Light en masse on Independence Day weekend? That's...quite the prediction. |

Quoted: I didn't say a boycott of P&G or Gillette worked at all. I just explained how difficult the boycott is/was compared to this simple boycott of InBev. Comparing these two boycotts is ridiculous. View Quote Not all boycotts work. It really has to do with the level of commitment of the consumer(s), the admission of the producer(s), and the market vertical they are in. Gillette and P&G are/were too diverse to suffer the same fate as A-B, but they were not completely immune. Now both of those other companies (along with many others) are looking over their shoulders. Nobody wants to be the company that dies on the hill for a trannie And NONE of them want to be anywhere near groomers or those that are telling parents what to do... that is far more toxic than what they saw in the past. A-B is taking it in the shorts BIGLY and they have RUINED their branding as a result. Bud/BudLight are forever known as ghey beers... The CEO of A-B is rumored to be ready to grab his golden parachute and heading for the door. He can dingle his carrot with his trannie kid all he wants as far as I care. Attached File |

Quoted: Do you really think this thing is over in two months? That people are going to be back to buying Bud Light en masse on Independence Day weekend? That's...quite the prediction. View Quote I think stock price one year post "incident" will be higher than one day pre "incident." Probably sooner, but the only thing wall street cares about are yearly indices so I'll go with a standard one year time horizon. That's assuming the entire market doesn't take a shit. Which may happen as well but that isn't the fault of any single company's actions and has more to do with the administration and economy as a whole. |

Quoted: AB is between a rock and a hard place. On one hand, we are boycotting them for the ad campaign. On the other hand, you have the alphabet soup nuts boycotting for AB "apologizing". Need to redo that "button choice" meme for this one......lol View Quote The answer is clear: identify who buys more of their product and apologize to them. But they won’t. Because they are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I spit them from my mouth. |

Quoted: Went to a bar last week. Wife asked the bartender if anyone was drinking Bud Lite. Bartender says sales are way down and customers that order it get mocked by other customers for drinking “tranny fluid.” View Quote Attached File |

The Bud Light boycott isn’t going to bring the giant AB InBev down. Certain posters seem to point this out triumphantly.
However Bud Light is their flagship brand. The crown jewel of the company was given to a woke millennial woman whose first action was to trash their customer base and ruin the brand. And the company’s response was to sanctimoniously wag their finger at the hick boycotters for not being diverse and inclusive like Anheuser-Busch InBev SA. Bud Light was the shining star of the company and it’s forever tarnished. Their customers can easily find another piss beer to drink and not be ridiculed for drinking tranny fluid by their friends. |

Quoted: Because everyone is high fiving in a circle jerk over nothing. This is an EXACT repeat of the Gillette toxic masculinity campaign. Everyone cheering boycotts. In that thread I said I guarantee they are not hurt from it. I was chased out of that thread. The next quarter they published record breaking sales. The highest ever. Quarter after that they broke the record again. And again the quarter after that. Go woke go broke is a complete myth. View Quote What got me is that in the immediate aftermath of people saying "fuck Gillette, I'll buy Harry's", Harry's said "Hey Gillette, hold my Bud and watch this, we can be much more woke than you are". |

Coors needs to start ramping up production. I can't find my goto beer anymore because most of the ex gay light drinkers switched to Banquet.

In my area, Bud Light was BOBO at Publix last week and Dos Equis this week. I passed. So did most others. FBL.

And legacy media is doing everything they can to stem the bleeding fron AB. Their headlines state the AB's sales are only down 1% globally (but what about their biggest market - the US?), and their pictures of Dylan Mulvaney are the heavily airbrushed shots which, frankly, make him look pretty good.

I didn’t think it was possible but now I believe.
Take it to zero. |

Quoted: Thank you for doing your part. Thank you to your customers for doing their part too! This Coors is for you! View Quote This is why the Right loses. They don't know how to boycott. Switching from one woke brand to another? I dont buy Coors or Bud Lite but if you are going to boycott, go all the way,. Or is one woke companies donations to other woke causes less bad than others? Not saying stop a boycott. Just research where your alternatives may be involved in |

Quoted: Yet they STILL dont have the balls to fire the moron girl that did this. Which says a lot. If i caused a 7 billion loss at my work; everyone including the janitor would line up to kick my balls -- and then four guys would grab me, lift me off the ground, open the front door with my head and heave me into traffic. View Quote Where I work I'd be lucky if they opened the door first. |

Need to redo that "button choice" meme for this one......lol View Quote Why the fuck do people still use this quote? They are NOT between a rock and a hard place. Not even slightly. What proof is there that gheys and groomers lap up BL? If the gheys and groomers were so critical to their revenue stream, AB would have doubled down already. The AB ceo is a shitastic loser and loves the trannie culture. Spooks really dig that stuff... Its how they roll. Their brand is as tainted as a blue dress walking into the Whitehouse. |

So dumb question but is sales down for double digits for 4th week, does that mean against last year (ie last year they sold 100 cases, this year 80 cases) , or does it mean last year 100 cases, this year first week was 80, then 64,’then 52, then 41,?

I haven’t bought Michelob since this began. Switched to Flight. I usually drink a 12 pack every other week while grilling. Not a big beer drinker, but I’m doing my part. I informed a nicely bronzed GILF wearing a tennis skirt and tank top with a case of Mick ultra in her cart. I told her that’s queer beer now. She wasn’t aware. She still bought it because the grocer was packed and didn’t want to get out of line, but she pledged to try Flight this weekend.
Be proactive people! There are a bunch of hot grannies out there who aren’t aware and are thirsty after their pickle ball matches. |

I’m at a hotel. Saw an older dude walking in with a six of Bud Light. Shame

I have stopped buying or drinking any of the AB beers, period. I might start again if they issue a solid apology. Unlikely!

View Quote As stated, the sales numbers are compared to the same period from one year ago, but I suspect AB Inbev is manipulating those numbers as much as possible. The real losses won't be able to be hidden when the next quarterly sales figures come out. Those numbers should show the real damage done so far. |

I’m really surprised the marketing lady hasn’t been fired over this. That’s a lot of money to lose her employer.

These are all inbev brands in the USA that they can use to absorb the loss of bud. There are some good ones on there, but I will not buy them anymore. Most likely a couple of these are up with people walking from bud. They also distribute a lot of other brands and micro brews.
Please share and spread the list. List provided by Wikepedia. Budweiser Bud Dry Bud Extra Bud Lime Budweiser Black Crown Bud Light Bud Light Chelada Bud Light Lime Busch Busch Light Corona Corona Extra Corona Latte Estrella Modelo Especial Modelo Light Negra Modelo Pacífico Victoria Natural Light Natural Natural Ice Natty Daddy Shock Top Belgian White Peeterman Artois Stella Artois Artois Bock Ziegenbock |

AB inbev will fall back, back the tyranny and other liberal causes, donate millions to ActBlue, and expect (and receive) a government bailout, along woth additional Blackrock funding.

AB isn't going broke over this this, but they did irreparable damage to one of their largest brands. In 20 years, people will still be calling Bud Light 'tranny fluid' or something similar.

Man.
It's FAR worse than we thought! So, the guy trying to say this is just about one can and one stupid little thing ... welll .... Yeah, utterly not buying it. Here's the first tweet in frankly what should be just a web article, and I will just copy the text over so you can read it that way.

Voting at the ballot box doesn’t seem too legit lately…voting with the pocket book seems to be a good alternative! Go woke, go broke.

Quoted: So you're saying that P&G stock is up about 59% since Jan 2019? Underperforming the market over a 5-year period doesn't seem like a big win to me. I'm not a financial wizard though. S&P 500 is up like 65% over the same time frame. View Quote Actually S&P is up exactly 50% since the same time period. So it outperformed the market 9%, or roughly 20% more gain.. I don't call a woke company beating returns by 20% while giving a dividend yield over 1%/yr better than the S&P average yield "going broke." It simply does NOT square. |
