I honestly don't know how all this backlash against Bud Light was so effective.
Of course I don't mean backlash against the trannification of what used to be a decent country. That's pretty normal. What isn't normal is how successful it was in punishing them for trying to advance globohomo.
Other companies caught pushing erosive and derisive politics all seem to putter out. Target, Starbucks, Gillette... Coke even had "be less white" for crying out loud. But none of them seem to have suffered as much as Anheuser-Busch and I'd love to know why, as a case model for how to organize pushing back against others.
I think it's because it's in a lot of case a social activity and perhaps more so it's so easily replaceable. No one knows if you use Gillette products generally. Go out and want a soda? You don't really get a ton of choice most of the time. Dr. Pepper I guess. Want a beer? Pretty much any drinking establishment you see is going to have multiple varieties of pisswater and even multiple varieties of light pisswater. Then you sit and drink it with other people.
You know, as far as I'm aware, the Dr. Pepper/7-Up brand is the only major soda brand that doesn't pull shit like this. I avoid Coke, I avoid Pepsi. Honestly I just stick to store brand sodas because goddamn they're all getting too pricy.
