Why would the fact that AB InBev owned any of those brands in the past matter for their bottom line when people switch from beers they own now?



Not really. Pretty much any miller coors beer plus Modello in the US is safe. If you're drinking a lot of Budlight, you're probably not having to keep track of which "craft" labels they own. Even if you drink both, if you cut out the ones easily identifiable, that still costs ABInBev revenue.

And I think a "soft" boycott is still pretty effective. I avoid buying Nike when I have a somewhat similar alternative. They're just annoying as shit and they make sports worse by injecting politics in it and giving ass hats like the spoiled p*ssy whipped QB a microphone, but I don't make my life worse over it. If it's meaningfully better for me, I'll buy it. If it's not, I won't. If a significant number of people do that, it makes it painful for companies to be ass hats. You genearlly don't want to be in a position where you lose all the close calls as a company, particularly in retail. Same with Target. If there is something I need at Target that I can't get somewhere else easily, I'll get it. But generally, Walmart is slightly less obnoxious with the woke stuff (and significantly less obnoxious on the child sexualization stuff and probably most importantly, inviting men into women's bathrooms), that Target only gets leftovers. Not a big deal, but again, when you are in a space as competitive as retail, small things can have a pretty sizeable impact. There's lots of things that have probably caused Walmart's outperformance of Target's stock over the past year, and Target's insistence on annoying a portion of its customer base is probalby only a small part of it. But if your stock is down in a year where your biggest competitor is up 81% and the stock market in general is up over 20%, do you really want to be antagonizing any of your customers?

AB InBev owns Grupo Modello which imports Corona, Modelo, and more. I didn't read more because I sensed it being an "about me" diatribe trying to expand your shopping habits at a large scale. Mississippi State Message Board posters are not the average demo. And even you were wrong about "Modelo" being a "safe" beer to purchase.

AB InBev is not at all concerned about the Cancel Culture mob boycotting. Just like the following failed boycotts:

Coors/Miller
Target
ABC
Amazon
American Airlines
Apple
AT&T
Barbie
BofA
BBC (the british news channel)
Campbell's
Chick-fil-a (it's doubly funny both sides of the political spectrum have failed at cancelling them. Just a well oiled machine)
Carhartt
Cisco
Citi
CNN
Coke
Cracker Barrel
Delta
Disney
Fox
Ford
HBO
Enterprise
Hertz
Home Depot
JP morgan Chase
Kellogg's (lol at how popular the Pop Tart bowl is)
MLB
NASCAR
NBA
NBC
NFL
North Face
Oreo
Paypal
Patagonia
PBS
Starbucks
The Super Bowl
Tyson Foods
Nike
Under Armour
United Airlines (Spirt or bust for ya I guess)
Univision
UPS
CBS
Walmart
Wells Fargo
Yeti

That's just some of this one list with sources. It's exhausting. I'm done with this thread though. You're welcome for giving you a consolidated list to avoid. Have fun finding something that isn't owned by that group in some fashion.
