Shares of Bud Light parent company Anheuser-Busch InBev (BUD) are down 7.6% since the company reported earnings May 4 as the Dylan Mulvaney controversy continues to weigh on the beer giant's sales. Bud Light sales during the week of May 6 declined 23.6% compared to the same time period last year, according to data from Bump Williams Consulting and Nielsen NIQ cited by Evercore ISI. That's a slightly larger decline than the prior week ending April 29, which saw Bud Light sales down 23.4% year-over-year. Following the initial boycott, sales were down 6.9% for the week ending April 8. It's the fourth straight week of declining sales for Bud Light — and comes after Mulvaney, a transgender influencer and TikTok personality, made an Instagram post during March Madness basketball endorsing the beer. The hurt continues. And it is across the AB product line. Not good news for AB or Inbev. mspart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plasmodium Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Brutally effective cancel brought to us by the folks who can't condemn "cancel culture" loud enough! Now we have an investment decision - AB or Molson Coors? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we have an investment decision - AB or Molson Coors? Do you even know what cancel culture is?? There is a HUGE difference between large corporations or entities banning a person, or a show, because they don't like what they said, versus CUSTOMERS deciding to not buy a product because a company said and did things indicating that the company no longer wants them as customers. And based on what you said, I assume you are all for true cancel culture? By the way, you can't have it both ways...ie., you can't be for cancel culture when someone is canceled because you disagree with what they said, and against cancel culture when someone is cancelled because you agree with what they said.

jross Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 The Budlight customer response involved some coordinated boycotting, and that meets my definition of cancel culture. Holding people and companies accountable is appropriate. My concern is when the response is disproportionate to the offense. And this disproportion is what has me disgusted with the left, and what made Twitter a horrible place before Elon took over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is textbook cancel culture. I have no problem with cancel culture. It is part of the human condition and has been since people first learned to organize themselves.

jross Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 The wrong kind of cancel culture... Guilt by association - Reddit subs block members if they are members of /Conservative or post in subs the moderator disagrees with. Boycott Goya Foods because the CEO had praise for Donald Trump. Lack of context - woman gets death threats by people making up their own story of what is happening in a video https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2020/06/24/black-lives-matter-viral-video-woman-plywood-california-column/3236205001/ Overreacting - Don't say the wrong thing about Disney movies https://www.distractify.com/p/why-is-lindsay-ellis-canceled Cancelling people over stuff they said 15 years ago Doxxing Calling people's bosses to get them fired There are endless stories... I use anonymous Reddit accounts and cannot speak conservative thoughts. There is no middle ground discussion or respect and understanding... I use a named Twitter account. The hate, lies, misinformation, and criminal behavior caused by the mob's reaction to the orange man were insane between 2015 and still on occasion. I could not speak a word of support for orange man policies without the risk of being canceled. I still don't tweet religious/political opinions for fear of the crazies. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plasmodium Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Learned this morning that Lauren Boebert's convicted pedo soon to be ex-husband doesn't dink Bud Light. She just threw that out there, so that must be a load off for a lot of folks. Are the folks who no longer drink bud light eating m&ms yet? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Target is following suit. mspart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
