Do you believe your own lies? If anything, it has gained more traction bc the past 2 weekends people who aren’t on social media have been hearing about it & switch beers when they find out.

I saw a guy drinking a Bud Light and realized that I now notice when I see a guy drinking a Bud Light. That alone should be AB’s worst nightmare.

Yuengling lager looks really pleasing in a glass. I bought a six pack yesterday.

I can't wait to see their numbers for the month. This is probably like the Goya movement on steroids.

Ask the women who think they are men about those steroids.

Who here has bought anything from Gillette lately?

Not me.

When corporations let their customers know what they really think of them, customers take their money elsewhere.

So, what group do you think buys the most light beer in this country? Blue collar, hourly employees? You know, people like plant workers. Or transactivists?

You seem as self aware as Bud Light’s former VP of marketing.

The new Bud Light drinker



Went to bar Friday night and Yuengling was the preferred drink with Miller next. They used fo have 2 taps of BL now have 1 but manager told me they are close to taking out last BL tap due to slow sales. Not one person I saw had a BL bottle. BL was the biggest drink at this bar for years. They had a BL sign broken so took it down and also took down the others.

This thing has legs. People have mostly found their new drink and as a rule drinkers are habit peeps. Once they changed and like their new drink they have zero reason to go back. Trump himself could be put on can but its too late, people are not going back. That ship has sailed. They had a small chance that first week to correct things and disavow trannies but didn’t. Then they came out late with that landering advertisement. Everyone sees through it and it actually reinforced their changes. Going back means you allowed them to buy you.

The true results will be at end of June (early July) once quarterlies come out. Don’t pay attention to daily stock movements too much those can be tricky for many reasons. They did have a great 1st quarter so the aftermath is still based on great 1st quarter. June (early July) will be the first good glimpse but possibly some sales data comes out in early May for April sales as well.

Look at how upset you are about people boycotting a beer that supports your shitty belief system.

Nielsen data is weekly, next week will give you the data from two weeks ago which should give an indication of where things are headed.

And many will tout this data but be careful. Its chain grocery data, not on premise. On premise is the true barometer. You can do store ads, displays, discounts in chains to buoy sales temporarily, not so with on premise.

I took these pictures of two pallets of beer being delivered to a local gas station. I only saw one case of Bud Light.

I wonder if this isn’t so much about them having a guy on the can, as much as it might be that people saw the video where the vp basically called their customers dumbfrick redneck morons. Not the best strategy.
