Went to the grocery store yesterday morning for a couple of things and decorated their Buttweiser display. I felt bad that it looked like there wasn't a single case of beer missing.

I'm looking forward to going to Publix later. I get entirely too much joy out of leaving random products by BL. Spent a few minutes the other day searching for douchebags with no luck which is why I grabbed the Vagisil

Great idea of yours

I try to spread sweetness and light wherever I go. Laugh and the world laughs with you. Weep and you weep alone. For this poor old Earth must borrow its mirth, but has troubles enough of its own.

If you're not laughing & enjoying life, you're doing it wrong.

This idea is great, but here in MD, we don't have grocery items, personal care items, and alcohol in the same store.

It would cost me a small fortune to stage these.



But, I applaud anyone who can do this free of cost.

Apparently Bud Light wanted to advertise on twitter, to the tune of $250MM, and Elon Musk denied their offer.

Probably a smart play. Bud Light is toxic now, hated by normal people and by the unhinged left. Musk doesn't want to kill the twitter brand, especially now that there's been a bunch of upheaval since he purchased it.

Bud Light Sales Drop 29.5 Percent in Latest Week Since Boycott Calls
BY ALEKS PHILLIPS ON 5/30/23 AT 7:27 AM EDT

Quote:
Bud Light has continued to suffer declining fortunes as a boycott of the beer brand over its partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney is reported to have had a lasting impact on its sales and revenue.

According to data by Bump Williams Consulting and Nielsen IQ, provided to Newsweek, in the week ending May 20, sales volume—the number of units of beer sold—declined 29.5 percent compared to the same period last year, while sales revenue was down 25.7 percent on the same week in 2022.

However, HRC’s May 9 letter to Anheuser-Busch said it plans to decrease to its Corporate Equality Index rating.

The company has 90 days to respond.

HRC’s website on Friday showed Anheuser-Busch has a “points deducted” notice for responsible citizenship criteria.

That whole scoring system is about as communistic as it gets. Comply or you will not be the accepted supplier to the party.
