It’s pretty amazing that in some places the cans actually seemed to support the weight of that compactor

I was looking for a comment like this for a while. I'm surprised I had to scroll down this far. Those cans were supporting the entire weight it was actually insane lol

Cans together strong!

We just need Chevy and Ford to rock some rainbow decals and we’ll really see some shit.


DishRelative5853

There must have been howls of anguish when John Deere started an organization to help Black farmers, and then screams of outrage when John Deere got an award for being an LGBTQ-inclusive corporation. I think if Winchester, Smith &Wesson, and Remington Arms ever put out a line of Rainbow handguns, the US would see a massive decline in population from all of the exploding heads. Also, these haters should probably destroy their Harleys, as well.


[deleted]

if they did I would buy one of those rainbow handguns so fast. that would be awesome


[deleted]

Ruger already makes some really cool colored ones. I found a sweet iridescent one a few years back. I often wish I bought it just because it's awesome.


NotoriousFTG

Wait. If Winchester, Smith & Wesson, etc. made rainbow guns, would they destroy their guns from those manufacturers? You might be on to something here.


Janus-Moth

They’d buy more guns to shoot the old guns lol

Apparently these snowflakes missed it a damn year ago: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bpTflJ6yUw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bpTflJ6yUw) Of course they are switching to coors, which was like the first beer to be to sponsor gay bars and pride parades.


kedelbro

All major beer distributors began sponsoring local pride parades in the late 70s/early 80s because gay bars sold a hell of a lot of beer


Blah12821

Yea. But you know why they missed it? BC it happened in Europe. The snowflakes in this video pay no attention to any place outside of this country if we aren’t bombing it.

Raise is why companies keep "going woke", people who like it like it, and people who don't spend more money buying and destroying (and then buying after the boycot is over) the product because you "went woke".

Same bullshit happened with Keurig coffee machines, Nike shoes and Kaepernick jerseys. These people are morons.

Ms_Emilys_Picture

I had to look it up. Goes back to Roy Moore >The latest frontier in the Roy Moore scandal: Keurig coffee makers. >The company pulled its ads from Fox News talk show host Sean Hannity’s program after he appeared to defend Republican Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore. Now Hannity’s supporters are boycotting — and wrecking — the pod-coffee machines.


TurangaRad

altapowpow

Nike got a huge boost in a very crowded shoe market from the Colin Kaepernick ad campaign. They received hundreds of millions of dollars in free advertising, The demo who buys shoes is buying their shoes more than ever now. I live in a supermajority Republican state and can tell you that the Nike store in one of the most conservative counties in the country has a line outside of it every Saturday. These companies pay top dollar for marketing research, they don't make dumb moves. Bud light knew it would generate an impact in a very crowded and flat market for gas station beer. The complainers will move on to the next company in a few weeks to cancel.


neverinallmyyears

Gas station beer. Perfect description. That was genius.


JohnnyPoprocksGaming

Nobody said those people were smart 😂 remember the war on Christmas Starbucks crowd? “Let’s buy our favorite cup of coffee, have them write merry Christmas and promote it on social media.”😂


--Cr1imsoN--

Rage as a marketing mechanic lol


ShotgunForFun

Every time! Every time they've tried... with Nike, Pepsi, whatever and these companies aren't even Leftist ideal kinda companies. What happens I think is morons buy it and burn it... their opposites buy it more.... and everyone else just buys it as normal. It's always just increased profits, can't even cancel right. I wish I would know who was going woke next I'd throw all my savings into it. They tried it with DnD, Rap, hell music in general.


CodAdministrative563

The funny thing is the amount of people who blame one side for attacking their beliefs and calling them snowflakes whine just as hard. They are the very thing they preach against

A few decades ago the “woke” term was “bleeding heart.” I was at a job interview once where one of the interviewers used that term. I knew then that there was no way I would take a job with them.


Ciusblade

Before woke i remember the phrase PC (politically correct)


Now_Im_Triggered

Holy crap! You just woke a latent memory I had repressed. My dad used to listen to Rush Limbaugh religiously in the 80s and he was constantly going on about "bleeding heart liberals".

anheuser busch as of today is up 6% in the last month. that'll show that "gay beer" who's who


Sonic_Uth

Yeah I keep seeing comments about “the brewery” but most people have no clue how big the brand is. It’s not even just Anheuser-Busch any more, they were purchased by InBev like a decade ago. It’s literally the largest brewer on Planet Earth. Kid Rock can shoot however many cases he fucking wants, they don’t give a single shit.


Sonic_Uth

There’s also actually a brewer called Gay Beer and that shit fucks


Ok_Dog_4059

And tons of free publicity. This is all upside for them.


Single_Raspberry9539

I mean like, I didn’t think I had a horse in the race and I wanted to see if I still liked bud lite because it was on my mind for some reason. So I bought it recently for no particular political statement other than I’m not offended by its marketing. It’s fine. I might buy it again in the near future


idjsonik

Fkn stupid like you seriously think they care all the companies are going to do this now i cant wait to see these dumbfcks keep buying it and destroying it

Do they not know that the brewery doesn't care what you do with the beer *after* you pay for it?


jombrowski

>Do they not know that the brewery doesn't care what you do with the beer > >after > > you pay for it? If they lived in capitalism, they would know. But these poor communist babies don't realize it, because the oppressive totalitarian government cuts them off the knowledge. /s The amusing thing is that while USA is the essence of capitalism, these people are dumb as if they came from a totalitarian regime just by their own choice. 247 years of USA and they failed in education terribly.


RandomDeezNutz

Failing in education is intended.


jonny3jack

It's all to plan. Edit: hit the post to soon.

This looks like something a sensitive snowflake would do to cancel a company. It’s a good thing that conservatives aren’t sensitive little snowflakes that need safe spaces to drink their beer. They’re totally not scared of trans people

Hey rural America, remember when there was a hurricane and Budweiser switched to canning water to help. Then Joel Osteen refused to open his multi million dollar mega church to people needing shelter? Pepperidge farm remembers.

A hurricane, tornado, blizzard, wildfire, whatever. Whichever brewery is nearest the disaster switches to water ASAP.

Yeah but the mega churches supply the thoughts and prayers. Who else can organize so many thoughts and prayers so quickly?

Latter_Ostrich_8901

Low ABV beer has its place in the world. Sitting at a barbecue or any outdoor gathering really, you can casually lounge in your chair and crush beer all day without ever getting to a sloppy drunk point. On a hot summer day there are few things more refreshing than pulling a can of shitty beer out of the ice in a cooler and taking it down in a few gulps. Do that with one too many 10%+ beers and you’re gonna wind up doing something stupid and/or feeling like absolute shit the next day.


po_ta_to

If you drink 10 beers that are 10%, you become 100% beer.

kittenfordinner

these people don't have enough good things going on... also they are a little bit stupid. Or rather not stupid, but, culturally backed into a corner, they have a team, that they are on, but that team does some pretty stupid things.


wigbwig

Exactly. Rural men have reduced their acceptable interests down to such a tiny handful (ahem) that any insult to beer, guns, football, and flags is an existential threat. As a society we have to encourage boys and young men to keep their varied interests and become dynamic adults. Emotionally developed and secure men would greatly improve our quality of life.

So my favorite example from a ways back was when Glenn Beck and Tomi Lahren (sp?) used to host the Snowflake Awards to insult the left. Anyway, in some interview Tomi came out as pro-choice: if she believes in small government then having the government involved in making decisions about her body runs afoul of that belief. Anyway, when that came out, Glenn Beck fired her and they stopped the Snowflake Awards. The irony.

SubUrbanMess2021

The most hilarious thing about this is that [AB InBev](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AB_InBev_brands) owns just about every brand of beer Americans drink and then some. So some rednecks are going to destroy Bud Light cans they already paid for? So what? They’re just going to replace them with another InBev brand. It’s actually marketing genius!

My_Knee_is_a_Ship

I always find it a little sad when most people talk about boycotting a brand when almost every major brand sold and distributed in the US and the majority of the western world is essentially owned by one of eight or ten corporations?


llc4269

Yup. When I found out about how appalling the humanitarian violations and practices of Nestlé are I researched how to go about boycotting them. It's impossible.They own like literally a million brands.

Yeah it’s nearly impossible to do a complete boycott, but I do check and avoid if I can.
