| Modelo Dethrones (Tr)anheuser-Busch InBev's Bud Light As Top-Selling Beer |
| 2023-06-16 |
| [ZERO] (Tr)anheuser-Busch InBev's Bud Light brand has lost its spot as the number one selling beer in America. The historic, unprecedented self-sabotage at the beermaker by an underqualified, woke, virtue-signaling idiot marketing executive has sparked ten weeks of crashing demand as beer drinkers ditch Bud for Mexican lager Modelo Especial. According to NielsenIQ data from consulting firm Bump Williams, Constellation Brands' Modelo represented 8.4% of US retail-store beer sales in the four weeks that ended June 3, compared with 7.3% for Bud Light. The Wall Street Journal first reported these findings. |

| #9 Looks like Yuengling has decided that they don’t want to benefit from Bud Lite’s implosion. Out here can't keep it in stock, hard to re-stock, and local watering hole is putting in a draft. Related news, people who have put down Call of Duty might take a look at BattleBit. |

| #7 #5 Procopius2k...yes, but a lot of those bonuses are paid in stock...which is now worth a lot less than it used to be. The decline in the stock price hits the C-suite people, exactly the right target. |

| #3 I like that one too Steve. Just think of it as saying "Black" in Spanish. Plus, if someone gives you a hard time about it, you have a nice glass bottle to konk them on the head with. |

| #2 I like Negro Modelo, but I don't think we are allowed to say 'negro' any more. |

| #1 AB InBev had to divest itself of the Modelo brand in the US in 2013 to comply with anti-trust regulators when it acquired interests in the Mexican company that previously owned it. |
