New Coke wasn't this bad
Widely believed that “new coke” was an advertising ploy to ultimately boost the original coke product. “Classic coke” was the transition back to simply “coke”.

Well they wanted a war and they fired the first shot.

Innocent people get hurt in wars and that is wrong.

Next we must straighten out our universities, if that is possible.

Hello, Yuengling?
About those bottles that you need for your product expansion...

As I read the reports, that plant had two glass furnaces and only one of them has been in operation for several years. they primarily made glass jars which likely were made from clear glass, so I am suspicious they did not make amber glass.

Switching from clear to a colored glass or back is very expensive and time consuming, since the oven must be purged, so plants generally don't switch back and forth. I'm not sure I have ever heard of a glass furnace switching, unless it was a major corporate decision. Also it sounded to me that the plant was losing money.

As long as companies keep employing advertising agencies with woke ideals, their profits will be impacted. Putting into practice the vision of the far left is a sure sign for failure.

Ardagh makes Tito’s and Tobasco bottles. I’ve been inside of the plant quite a few times and never saw bud light bottles. This story doesn’t sound completely accurate…

Talk about the most expensive marketing blunder in history.

Know your audience is all i got to say on this one. This be like a comedian that only told hateful jew jokes going to a synagogue and telling them to a bunch of jews. So Bud was looking to gain a group that was never going to like the product and basically upset the people that bought it. Smart move.

Don’t know if real reason shutting down, but when people live with hate in their heart it has real consequences.

I smell BullSh@t. Aggerate sales of beer have not declined since the BL boycott and bottles are bottles. Seems like longnecks could be sold to the brewers taking the sales.

Just my observation though.

Bud Light should hire the guy who came up with the Jell-O shot challenge in Omaha

Too be fair, they have 2 furnaces and have only been running one for the last few years. The main bottle at that specific plant, from my understanding, was Tabasco. Think that's getting moved to Missouri now. They were going after Miller pretty hard. Guess that fell through

Who was buying bud light in bottles?



Pretty much every bar in WI for starters.

People aren’t drinking less beer, they are just drinking other brands.

the tranny agenda that is currently being force-fed to the public all across the West is simply a bridge that is too far to gap.

it's complete nonsense, mental illness, etc. and 99% of people know that. however, that doesn't stop them from trying to lie and force people into believing that it is "perfectly normal".

hopefully the good people in this country continue to stand up against this pure evilness.

Weren't the "above the fray!" moderates on here adamant that the Bud Light boycott would have no lasting effects?

OT is full of people who volunteered for a social experiment injection… Who still refuse to admit how so terribly wrong they were.
