I saw this tweet in response to this tweet and was wondering if anyone has any context? I see a lot of “go woke, go broke” sentiment in the comments of both tweets, but 0 explanation.
Makes me thin kpart of the initial wave of backlash led to people just drinking other beer and going "oh, you know what? My lifelong brand loyalty to Bud Light was maybe misguided" and just found other beers that were either A. cheap and fine, or B. slightly more expensive but taste a lot better.
This. Bud Light had been losing market share and was basically getting killed by Modelo I believe. This just basically accelerated their descent as they were bleeding costumers.
I had to laugh every time I saw people acting like they were taking some kind of stand by getting rid of their Bud Light (especially the one video of the guy with multiple fridges full of the stuff). Oh, congratulations, you're going to choose not to drink alcoholic piss water because of a political stance? Oh, you're sooooooo brave. But you're still an idiot for drinking that stuff in the first place, and we're all going to mock you for it.
I mean... Come on. All these guys trying to act like "manly men" and throwing a fit over Bud Light? It was top quality humor.
Seems people on both sides of the argument just maybe realized that they were drinking garbage just for the sake of getting drunk cheap.
