Best beer commercial ever

If they publicly repented and derided the trans agenda their sales would skyrocket. They won’t. Originally Posted by Jacuzzme

what ya think Jim Cramer is rating AB Inbev? buy (go long) or dump it?

if you click on the 6 month chart their current price of 57.15 per share is what it was 6 months ago. the problem is that at the end of March it had risen to 66.73 and their "woke nonsense" cost them all of that gain.

Take it out to a year, not YTD.

i quoted 6 months not ytd. the link apparently defaults to "today". and the 1 year shows the same numbers as 6 months. Bud lost about 15 percent gain over that span with this nonsense.


does anyone think 15 percent of Bud light drinkers are trans? they lost 15 percent stock value trying to look "woke" catering to less than 1 percent of the entire population.


Brilliant!

at this point i wonder if Bud made a public statement acknowledging the ad and the promotion was a mistake would have any effect at all. their strategy seems to be "do nothing, admit nothing" and hope it blows over. so far it hasn't. Originally Posted by The_Waco_Kid

In fact, I recall some ill informed leftist tried to dismiss this and referred to some comments on Seeking Alpha. Well here is the latest headline:

Anheuser-Busch InBev: Sales Plummeting, Stock At Critical
Support

And the pain has spread to a bunch of other AB brands

They've been woke. They're not heavily damaged, and certainly not irreparably by any means.

Take a longer look. Waco, what was the 52-week low?

Take it out 5 years. What was their high and low point?

Use some long-term perspective and don't fall into the Cramer trap like our CFO buddy whose first Seeking Alpha ref is a Zero Hedge

Look beyond the surface level. Do you see anything?

Doesn't their 5 year look just like Kid Rock's record sales? Notice how they're pivoting the marketing to 'Merica and country music despite long-term losses?

What else can you see?

Tony sayes that awareness and understanding are two

and "awaken the gnat from within" - as we all
surely CONTINUE to see Bud Light's sales tank...

No, Salty. We're not here to change minds on the internet.

Those are the words of the wise sage, Chizzy.

Keep the tapes. We can stream those Robbins lessons now. Besides, I know you wouldn't want to break up the set like that time you lent out your VHS copies of Sweating to the Oldies but forgot you were hiding your Jane Fonda workout vids from your mates and never got em back.

Consumers fight back, with some success, against brands gone woke

At a recent baseball game, I watched a fellow Cubs fan facing a dilemma at Nationals Park in Washington. No, it wasn’t the dilemma of whether to cheer another meltdown by a Cubs pitcher — it was the beer vendor, who was handing him a Bud Light. The vendor had only Bud Lights left…for a good reason. The company is now literally giving away beer for free due to a consumer backlash.

With a pained look, the obviously thirsty fan declined and headed for the concourse looking for another brand. Bud Light was dead to him after the controversy over a promotion featuring transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney. The Cubs fan isn’t alone. Bud Light’s parent company, Anheuser-Busch, has reportedly lost nearly $19 billion since this controversy began.

Recently, I was at a function where a guest asked a bartender if he had anything other than Miller Light. He told me that he dropped the brand after Miller Light ran an advertisement titled “Bad $#!T to Good $#!T,” denouncing past male-oriented beer ads as “sh*t” for objectifying women.

Various writers dismissed the boycott against Bud Light and said that the company had to just “hold the line” because it would fade and fail. It hasn’t.

But something is happening that has taken experts by surprise. Consumers appear to be holding the line against a growing number of brands.

Are you gents pro-Miller Lite and Coors Light, now?

You’re sinking faster than the Titanic Mr Gristle, you can gloat about past performance, for umteem years. It doesn’t mean shit, because they stepped on their Dick RECENTLY!!!! All the past data goes out the window!!! It’s whats happening now and going forward that’s what matters. It doesn’t look good.
