TrueI have been pissed and stopped buying anything Anheuser-Busch since 2008, when the multinational holding company came in took it over in a hostile takeover.
What have they done? They have destroyed and whittled down an American Institution. They destroyed a Family-owned business.
They stopped sponsoring a lot of racing events. (And other similar things). Bud sponsorship was an Institution in motorsports..
They shut down the company owned railroad in St Louis.
They cheapened the products.
I remember when Bud had advertising campaigns that were just plain GOLD. Just plain good ideas.
The frogs
The wassup
The pengiuns
Clydesdale Football
etc
Now? Some of the most short-sighted marketing decisions known to man..
Yes my how things change..
Screw InBev, buy Yeungling!
