CLICKBAIT ALERT

Ok I love the jokes but the beer has nothing to do with the virus outbreak. Here are some of my favorites:

Just change the name to Anticorona and see sales soar.

Jono_Way The Ride Never EVER ends. Familia

This is a fake news. The beer is still popular.

How stupid can people be?!?!

That's good. Revenge of the 🐕 fuck Corona. Drink Heiniken.

The most toxic thing here is this market-speak: “As we look to the future, we are determined to lead growth through consumer-centricity, operational excellence and innovation.” I hope that 'going forward' they also leverage backward mindshare overflow.

No they don't 🤣🤣 fake news story. They have said their sales are on an increase 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

I always preferred 'It's frothy man'.

I worked hard as a scientist and spent the whole weekend on this and have developed the Corona Vaccine!

so many people lack braincells wow

And they say beer kills brain cells

An interesting case of emotional transference! Although we realize the difference, the mind still makes the connection and influence consumer's behavior.

I knew this couldn’t be good for marketing

Clickbait

If the reason for those losses are due to the fact that people can’t differentiate between corona beer and the deadly corona virus then humanity is well and truly doomed.

I bought corona today. Everyone should.

That is just dumb

Perhaps a name change might help, drop the 'extra'.

The only reason I can imagine, is no one wanting to touch a sensitive topic in pubs / on parties etc. The're not really people who see a link are there... Please say no, despite fearing otherwise... youcantfixstupid wecanintubateitthough

Lord protect us. Nobody reads anything bar click bait headlines anymore. The company is one of the largest brewers in the world and the article states that they believe that the drop in profits is down to fewer people going out in public in China to avoid catching coronavirus.

What the match!

The employee shooting your staff wouldn’t have helped.

Ridiculous

People are so stupid. Knowledge really is power

Change brand to Corona Cure, then it'll start selling big time.

They do that on purpose to get clicks.

I am appalled to how stupid much of the world population is. Makes you want to pull for the Virus.

Just how stupid can some people (seemingly lots of people) be

Thats a good thing -less alcoholics

Busted

I'm going to go get a crate.

So bad

Human stupidity knows no bounds.

Well, blow me - that crowns all!

That's a tragedy

Lordy, people are thick

Lab working 24/7 on a Budvirus.

I'll pick up some today

People are dim!

This is a sad reflection decision logic of the aggregated population. How many of these illogical beer drinkers vote? This same flawed decision making drives demoncracy at the ballot box. I'm not use I can cope with news like this 😢

cathound7 I’ll buy a six pac today

Podo2 kabeh sengsoro

Just a coincidence! Most of those who do appreciate corona beer, are illiterate... nothing to do with coronavirus threat...

People are stupid

Seriously! This is why we are so doomed.

Maybe this is a good indication that we need a population cull. Clearly too many people just functioning with no brains.

tenoq WTF

lrichardsonbcfc we have a job to do.

Oh dear 😂

Corona beer is aweful justsaying

beatrice_health Goofy

That’s Trump supporters for you 😂

I guarantee they will try and sue the ICTV (who named it).

I wanna try the beer

What's in a nnnname?

😂🤣👍🏼ça fera des intoxications en moins!!!!

Please tell me people are not this dumb to conflate a virus with a beer brand.

Poor Corona. He done didn't do nuthin'.

Can make them virus safe by squeezing a lime wedge into neck before drinking.

That’s a lot of ignorant people.

This is misleading. It's not just Corona beer. It's all the brand's the company owns including Budweiser, Stella and Becks. The fall down to less going out due to the coronavirus. You're making people look stupid, when in fact they aren't. Clickbait media.

Ha ha

😭

If I have a beer later I'll pick Corona. VIVA Mexico!

The same people voted for Trump, Johnson and the other 'great' leaders we have!

Hahaha

Ignorant Trump supporters

proving again that PeopleAreStupid !!!

Just to answer the question ‘are people really that stupid’? Yes, yes they are

I sometimes despair of the human race. 😢

How thick are some people well they voted in another Tory government so there you go ...

The power of stupid people

This is a heartbreaking story!

Ohh, the ignorance!

I really don't get that,, are people really that stupid? That's what I drink normally and I'm certainly not going to stop,,,

bukarolbu

Are people really that stupid that they think there is a connection between this beer and the virus?

Nice rebranding

stanzaselvaggia

🤭

No such thing as bad publicity. A new funny marketing campaign poking fun at the deadly virus will soon see sakes sore again.

As long as you shove a wedge of lime in it then you’ll be fine.

They have to print new labels with the words 'antidote to' before Corona.

Seriously how stupid is this..? What does this say..(?)

Plus Anti- in front bet will be the best seller of this year

Its piss anyway

Ridiculous. Buy shares in Corona everyone they will be charging up when the Anericans discover it has FA to do with the virus. Mind you that could be a long time.

Important to note the Coronavirus is NOT in any way connected to Corona beer. In addition, cannabis is NOT a cure for this virus. (Wash your hands.) coronavirus Coronavid19

Don't worry they are having Cobra meetings about it!🤣😂

Well let's get some 50 percent off sales, we'll all line to help

Awwww... Pass sama AntosGerrard morishenri ...dorang tatap bili😁

Rename it Covid 19, no one will make the connection 👍🤔🤔🤔😜

People are getting more and more retarded everyday

WTF😂

Have they stopped eating corn as well only we can have that shit for when the EU blockade kicks in. diplomaticdogshitstorm

When we know about the outbreak in Chine this beer company was victim of jokes and memes. Now jokes are gone

BluesyArc284 People are dolts.

😂😂😂

Why did they name their beer after a virus?

Put in sell I will buy few boxes.

That’s becuz peeple is stoopid

Remember Ayds diet candy?

Ignorance of people is incredible!!

Because people are idiots

If you wedge a piece of lime in the top, it stops the virus from getting in...

Jezus. People are so stupid!!

No connection. How dumb

defamation lawsuit in the works

syhiv25 Так воно не лікує! Чого його купляти?😆

That is so stupid! People, think just a little bit; do you really believe that because of the name you’re going to get infected?

Trump immediately blamed the media and the Democrats.

ElaineYoung94, People can be very silly, its a lovely beer,, ❤️

anyone wonder how much toyota corolla lost?

Faz promoção

Never knew beer was contagious

Corona sucks. Revenge of the 🐕

Replace Terona

Only in America.

Chinazi

love how to most people the virus won't even be worse than a mild cold but everyone is having a hissy fit over it

Aren’t beer drinkers a bit stupid?

So there is a such thing as bad publicity?
