"CNN was bamboozled. . " I’ve noticed that CNN tends to bamboozle easily when such ruses will result in a high click-rate. I’m sure there’s no correlation though.

I fall under the “won’t drink the beer regardless of anything else”. I’m just not a fan of Corona, there’s much better beer to be had.

I’m one of the 38% only by that I won’t buy any beer under any circumstance. Hiya, one of the permanently lifetime designated drivers ever…

Yeah, survey methodology is everything:

5WPR’s survey found that:

  • 38% of beer-drinking Americans would not buy Corona under any circumstances now
  • Among those who said they usually drink Corona, only 4% said they would stop drinking Corona, but 14% said they wouldn’t order Corona in a public venue
  • 16% of beer drinking Americans were confused about whether Corona beer is related to the coronavirus

Oh boy, do I love people who make assumptions about the intelligence of others based on their choice of drink. Yes, I know, all in good fun. Corona is mediocre, but hardly the worst thing to drink on a hot day with lime, and if you must, hot sauce. I certainly won’t judge you for tipping one back.

16% of beer drinking Americans were confused about whether Corona beer is related to the coronavirus

Were they drinking beer at the time they were asked the questions? Then you could just say “16% of beer drinking Americans were confused…”

Statistics can be true and still say all sorts of stuff.

For example, I can guarantee that more than 2% of Corona beer drinkers have died. But still a lower than the percentage of people who have drunk water.

I wonder how tourism’s doing in Corona, CA or Corona, NM, or Corona, SD?
Like Corona beer, I don’t see much potential for enjoyment.
