(OT) Bud Light, $2.99 18 pack

[RonB]

Go Woke. Go Broke

Bud Light sales still dropping. Now they're offering (up to) a $15 rebate.
Buy a 18 pack and (after rebate) it's $2.99. (Less than 17 cents a can.)
This after Budweiser was buying back outdated, unsold Bud Light from their
distributors. And after they offered to give free beer to the distributors'
employees. Stock prices are now at $58.67, so much for the 9% year to year
gain.

Target backpeddled on "Pride Merchandise" after boycott threats. Now they're
getting bomb threats from the LBG-letter bunch. Figures. The truly violent
bunch are the insane Woke whackos.

Disney stocks $110 a year ago (down from a high of almost $200) now at $88.
They've been pulling some of their crap off of Disney+ and Hulu (like
Willow). Universal Studios stock, on the other hand, is even year to date.
(Not as Woke.)

It's free where I live.
They are giving it away because they can't sell it.
Don't like it anyway though. Swill beer. I like Michelob and Sam Adams.

Even with a rebate, supporting these companies isn't worth it. I'd much
rather keep my money, turn off the television entirely. I don't think
these people realize that there are lots of people like us who simply
realized, somewhere along the way, that everything electronic is just
making us unhappy. They figured that if they control all of media, it
wouldn't matter where we turn; we'd get their propaganda anyway. What
they didn't consider is that some of us are still aware of the off switch.

How about no alcohol at all? I'll have an occasional beer, but I am very
much aware of how much weight I gain from it. As a result, I only drink
it when I feel that I need to relax.

I've got a feeling Budweiser "Woked" themselves big time. I seriously doubt
that Bud Light will be the number one selling beer in the USA by the end of
the year. I don't drink any beer, but I've heard from several people that
Bud Light is swill. Still it was the number one brand in America until they
got stupid.

[RonB]

The only thing I drink now is water. No cola, nothing else.

Companies have always wanted to climb on the latest thing the same as the
media. '50s, go with beatnik themes. In the '60s they figured they could
make money off the 'love generation'. At least the hippies were self aware
enough to have a funeral for 'Hippy, devoted son of mass media'.

Dukes of Hazzard is popular? Merchandise that. And so forth. It's just
business as usual. Until they stumble into something that triggers a lot
of normal people and then try to do clumsy damage control that pisses off
the people they were trying to target in the first place.

It will be a good case study for future Harvard Business School classes.

I've had a few light beers in my life (at my brother-in-law's, he seems
to have a preference for them) and they generally just taste like water.
Not that beer necessarily has a pleasant taste, but such drinks are just
pointless unless the objective is to have alcohol in your system.

I'm down to coffee with soy milk and stevia, Coke Zero and
heavily-filtered water. Occasionally, I'd have a Guru energy drink but
I've decided to replace those with the Cokes. Eventually, even the soda
will go.

[rabidPedagog]

My morning routine of getting up, cleaning my face, making breakfast and
drinking a coffee used to include turning on a French news channel
called LCN. Now, I don't even bother turning the TV on. I'd rather
read/watch what people on Rumble, Bitchute and Telegram might have posted.

[RonB]

There's also the ESG score pressure now. If you don't go along with the Woke
agenda, it can damage your ability to borrow operating capital.

[RonB]

I wouldn't know. I've heard that beer is "salty." That's about all I know
(or don't know) about it.

All I can say is that if you don't drink, you're probably not dealing
with a belly at this point. It's normal for it to grow with age, but
those who love their beer have such a repulsive gut that there is no
helping them.

[rabidPedagog]

The companies themselves are the ones encouraging me to abandon them. As
long as they insist on sponsoring or supporting the rainbow-coloured
demons, I'll do whatever I can to get rid of them from my life. It's
just a matter of time before my wife agrees with me that cable is
pointless (since my son's grandmother won't be babysitting him anymore
and won't watch TV the entire day) and before she, herself, notices that
soda is just making her feel ill. Corporations will get nothing from us
other than the occasional money from purchases of new laptops after
whatever we use becomes so worn out, after ten years or so, that we are
required to change.

My understanding is that it's more what you eat, while you drink, that
leads to the gross weight gain. How many guys eat with utter abandon,
when they are drinking?

When I have a few drinks, that's my carbs for that part of the day.
Food intake will be almost exclusively proteins and fats i.e. meat.

Bud, light or not, is not a beer. There are some good American beers,
Bud is not among them.

There's a joke about it:

At the end of an international beer congress, some CIO get in a bar to
have a drink. The first one, the Budweiser CIO ask for a bud. The second
one, the Kronenbourg CIO ask for a Kro. The third one, Heineken CIO ask
for an Heineken. And this go on with Carlsberg, Peroni and Stella. Then,
the last one, Grimbergen CIO ask for a coca. The others are confused and
ask him why he didn't take a Grimbergen. His answer: "I'm with you guys.
You don't drink beer, so neither do I."

A lot of people say that. I have no idea, but I do know it WAS the best
selling "beer" (substitute?) in the United States.

I'm guessing Grimbergen is a good beer. First time I've heard of it.

It’s one of the eighteen (18) certified “Abbey” beers, which can be
simplistically thought of as a Trappist beer that for some reason was
ineligible to be certified as “Trappist”:

< https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_in_Belgium#Abbey_beers>
< https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trappist_beer>

The designation isn’t a guarantee of great beer (IMO, Spencer is
quite underwhelming) but overall, the Trappist style will let you
know that your drink is actually a beer.

FYI, a “proper” pour from a bottle of Orval requires two glasses - one
standard, plus one small.
