#1 This is not your demographic, AB, and once your customers move on to another product many of them will never be back.

#2 Those are the words you say when your severance package just got much nearer and smaller.

#3 Carefully monitored by counsel to avoid any hint of culpability for the coming shareholder lawsuit. He said nothing smoothly because even though you company lost billions in net worth, you are terrified of angering queer men in dresses stamping their feet and calling you names. Somehow Semper Fi turned into simper DIE!

#4 Sort of like looking at a freeway crash. Haven't bought anything from them for ... 40 years now. Not gonna start now. Shiner Bock for me.

#5 The real question is not the several billion dollars of losses since this thing blew up, but any net change in the financial picture of the entire company. According to Wikipedia, these are Anheuser-Busch’s brands:

Major Brands
Budweiser and Bud Light, including variations
Michelob and variations
Rolling Rock
Busch
Shock Top
Natural
Johnny Appleseed hard cider
Land Shark Lager

Acquired Craft Beer Breweries
Goose Island
Blue Point
10 Barrel
Elysian
Golden Road
Four Peaks
Breckenridge
Karbach
Wicked Weed

Malt Liquors
King Cobra
Hurrican
Spykes

Then there are the specialty beers and AB’s minority investments in independent breweries.

Also, how long any change might last. The entire managerial class is convinced that conservative consumers will not long remember their desire to punish for this insult, but will soon drift back to old purchasing habits.

#8 Pouring Bud Light down the sewer still counts as a sale.
