It's performative. "I'm going to erase this thing I hate from existence and film myself doing it for 'culture war' points". Problem: they often have to BUY an example of said thing to erase on camera, which supports the people who create the thing they hate. The irony in this never sinks in. At least when feminists were burning their bras, it was something they already had and weren't going to use anymore.

Freaking KIMMY SCHMIDT was making this joke in 2017 (Jane Krakowski is supposed to be a white-passing Native American in this show. Don't ask. This show is stupid.). Two words: Washington. Gun-Takers.

Bud Light suffers 17% sales plunge. This is a sharp increase of the 6% it suffered at the start of the controversy. Coors and Miller Lite sales up 10 and 11% respectively.

Okay. And? Grown men with no inner life continue to throw tantrum over being reminded that people different than them exist.

Honestly we're way past the point where this penny-ante shit matters. We're doing "we banned the healthcare you need in the hopes it kills you" and "we made it a sex crime against children for you to exist in public" now.

By your own stats a few pages ago that means Bud has lost all of its growth for 2023 and has gotten two execs fired. It means the boycott in whatever meaningless way the people who care about pictures on beer cans has worked. And with respect, that other stuff you mentioned is off topic.

It is to be expected. Bud, Coors and Miller, the Big Three for cheap American beer retained a lot of loyalty from those who don't want to drink the fancy beer micro breweries make. Like it's a real beer, real American beer, real men etc. Take your pick.

Doesn't surprise me those who would oppose anything with Trans support would oppose Bud and being those who originally drink Bud to begin with.
I got nothing to say here.

And many of the few who DID abandon Bud switched over to either National Light, which is owned by the same parent company as Budweiser, or some dumb "anti-woke" beers... that are just relabeled, generic, beers that are ALSO produced by a sister company of Budweiser. Beer is kind of in an oligopoly in the USA.

Checking prices and their stock is up 1% on the five day, down 0.8% on the month, and up 15.21% on the year.

You believed something you read in the New York Post is your fist problem.

It's the selling of the beer that's down, not the stock prices.

Yes.

Here is the thing about Bud. In the past 20 years, they have been been buying out microbreweries. Most if not all of them are not a threat in anyway to the main brand but if you add them up together it can be.

Or at least we can hope.

Though in the US we are almost getting to the point where if there is a town, there will be a microbrewery. And they are going to their version of some IPA or pale ale. You will lose if you choose the IPA.
I got nothing to say here.
