The fact that people receive news from memes shows you there is a probable truth that the IQ level of the general population is low.

Maybe its because their beer taste like someone drank nothing but beer for a week and bottled their piss.

That's on their daily chart. Just taking a quick look at their 6 month chart you can see a pretty decent drop when the outbreak started.

False. They've already made statements that they're continuing advertising, which means they're recognizing risk; bad PR DOES affect revenue

ur upper lip tryna divide us
pritolus
That poll was misleading, Coronas actual numbers are not. However, correlation and causation are two different things
max22imus
It’s nuanced. Sales ARE up but there are legit polls in which respondents said they would not buy corona. Long story short, polls suck

To be faaair, it probably is a lie from Russian troll farmers but it’s also so damned believable. like how 35% of pop is do or die trumpers

Russian interference, they have an interest in dividing the west, but they can't make it happen cause we won't let them. Stay United.

Has someone told the Democratic party who literally spent years calling Republicans "Russian Trolls?"

There are official findings that Russians have created bot accounts posing as black lives matter and white supremacists.

Then they made Rally's across the street from eachother and people believed these were real so the outrage ensued. It'll happen more.

They are. They arent aligned with any side. They are trying to divide and cause chaos.

Go find some that suits your narrative than.

I don't have a narrative because I don't have any real information.
Ghostlogicz
If anything it’s going up cause ppl are buying beer etc to drink at home instead of going out due to risk
BigWillisStyle
Doesn’t matter where it’s purchased. This doesn’t make sense
Ghostlogicz
Brewery get less for draft than bottles , brewery get the same price if you buy or bar does, bar gets the markup. You buy less beer at a bar
Clab3
Draft is generally more profitable, bottles and cans have a high overhead comparatively.
Ghostlogicz
Than you would at home because it’s more expensive. If your at a club you buy less booze . At a theater, at a ball game, shopping at the mal
maxwilder
Honest question: Isn’t it possible Corona might be lying? Might be better for their brand to downplay any dip in sales.

I wish stocks could speak some truth about it. Too bad most brands are owned by conglomerates making it hard to determine the cause of a dip
