just saw a tweet that was like "imagine if 9/11 happened 2 mos earlier and 7/11 had the worst PR crisis ever" like that wasn't basically what happened to corona beer in 2020
#granted. pandemic obviously not the same impact as terrorism#& also we stopped calling it coronavirus or varients of that by like 2021 iirc#the switch to covid-19 was like. not smooth by any means but it did happen#but i do recall in 2020 when liquor stores were one of the only operating businesses#everyone being like damn... sucks to be corona rn#havent looked at the data though so idk if their bottom line or pr was impacted that bad#anecdotally i think the people i knew ended up drinking more corona that year. for the bit#alcohol /#also i forget who it was but to whoever rb'd that tweet to my dash#im not vagueing you i didnt rb it because i dont have the energy for an ID rn lmao#good idea generator#also circling back to my first tag. want to re-muddy the waters actually pandemic and 9/11 very similar#with perhaps the most major difference between the two being government willingness to do anything about it#or arguably controversially their willingness to pretend to do something about it in order to use it as a cudgel on the international stage#but we dont have time to get into All That with any sort of nuance#esp not in the tags of a one sentence post about corona's pr problems
