"'Nobody imagined it would go on this long': Bud Light sales continue to plummet over Mulvaney backlash

The controversy, now nearing its third month, has turned off a broader customer group than just those who characterize themselves as conservatives."

"According to data cited by the beverage industry trade publication Beer Business Daily, sales volumes of Bud Light for the week ending May 13 sank 28..4%, extending a downward trend from the 27.7% decline seen the week before.."

"AB InBev had previously partnered with the LGBTQ+ community, and had also worked with Mulvaney on another campaign, Schuhmacher said."

AB tried to downplay it by claiming this was just one influencer and it really wasn't an ad campaign. I thought they had no choice but to stick with Mulvaney. This would have reduced the damage. They managed the neat trick of pissing off both sides of the culture war. Now those poor fools are sitting there with Pride month coming up and no good options. I think it's pretty damn funny. And you can quote that opinion. LOL

HawHawHaw! That's a pretty pathetic attempt at trying to dance your
way out of your original opinion. At the end of the day going forward,
you're literally a real hoot, TB.

It must be nice to never be wrong. I don't know what that's like. I'm just another dweeb with a keyboard. I make mistakes all the time--and admit it. When I do that I usually recalibrate, make adjustments and move on. You obviously don't know anything about this because you are never wrong.

damn. Thanks. At the end of the day going forward, of all the things
that could be put on the table in the entirety of the passage of time,
literally the last thing I expected from you was a recognition of my
efficaciousness. Your compliment is going to be a big help in
overcoming the precipitous drop in the metric of my self-esteem that I
experienced after tripping over a white line in the Walmart parking lot.

Bwah Hah Hah! Stop! Please stop!
