U.S. Budweiser Sales Double As A Result Of Coronavirus Scare

TAMPA, Florida  (The Adobo Chornicles, Tampa Bureau) – A new study found people may be skeptical of Corona beer because it shares part of its name with the virus making people ill across the world.

5W Public Relations, an independently-owned PR agency, conducted a phone survey of 737 U.S. residents who considered themselves beer drinkers this week.

The survey revealed 38 percent of beer-drinking Americans would not buy Corona under any circumstances now. Among those who said they usually drink Corona, only 4 percent said they would stop drinking Corona. Fourteen percent said they wouldn’t order Corona in a public venue.

Meanwhle, a separate survey conducted by The Adobo Chronicles (AC) showed that sales of Budweiser and Budlight in the United States more than doubled in the weeks after the first case of coronavirus was reported in the country.

”It’s better to be safe than sorry,” a bar customer at a local Tampa bar told AC.

AC is currently investigating whether sales of the Toyota Corona have also declined.  Stay tuned!

Why Pete Buttigieg Dropped Out Of U.S. Presidential Race

SOUTH BEND, Indiana (The Adobo Chronicles, Indianapolis Bureau) – Former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg ended his extraordinary presidential campaign on Sunday night, just hours before the Super Tuesday primaries.

After privately informing donors, staff, and key supporters, the 38 year-old Democrat addressed a rally in his hometown, saying that in the wake of Saturday’s South Carolina primary, his path to the nomination had “narrowed to a close for our candidacy, if not our cause.” Fresh-faced and articulate, he emphasized themes of hope, inclusion, and change. 

In speaking with The Adobo Chronicles after the rally, Buttigieg said that the main reason for his dropping out was not because he thought an openly-gay candidate cannot win the U.S. presidential election  Rather, he said it would be almost impossible for him to win because voters could hardly spell or pronounce his name.

Good point!
