Budweiser fights back against 9/11

As we approach the fifth anniversary of this event, here's a story that I've heard before but it's now worth repeating. D.

The Budweiser Story (not a joke) This is TRUE!
How Budweiser handled those who laughed at those who died on the 11th of September, 2001...Thought you might like to know
what happened in a little town north of Bakersfield, California.
After you finish reading this, please forward this story on to others so that our nation and people around the world
will know about those who laughed when they found out about the tragic events in New York, Pennsylvania, andthe Pentagon.

On September 11th, a Budweiser employee was making a delivery to a convenience store in a California town named
McFarland. He knew of the tragedy that had occurred in New York when he entered the business to find the two
Arabs, who owned the business, whooping and hollering to show their approval and support of this treacherous attack.
The Budweiser employee went to his truck, called his boss and told him of the very upsetting event! He didn't feel he
could be in that store with those horrible people. His boss asked him, "Do you think you could go in there long enough to pull every Budweiser
product and item our beverage company sells there? We'll never deliver to them again." The employee walked
in, proceeded to pull every single product his beverage company provided and left with an incredible grin on his face. He told them never to
bother to call for a delivery again. Budweiser happens to be the beer of choice for that community. Just letting you know how Kern County
handled this situation.

And Now The Rest Of The Story:

It seems that the Bud driver and the Pepsi man are neighbors. Bud called Pepsi and told him. Pepsi called his boss who
told him to pull all Pepsi product as well!!! That would include Frito Lay, etc. Furthermore, word sprea and
all vendors followed suit! At last report, the store was closed indefinitely. Good old American
Passive-Aggressive A$$ Whoopin!

lol good shot!

very good move by both companies.

Yep - pepsi and bud get my business from now on. And I see enough distributers to tell them to pass on the word to their boss. I plan to spread the word to everyone I know. That was awesome. Finaly, a few companies that care more about their country than a few more bucks in thier pockets.

This is a myth, an urban legend and likely a copy and paste from a chain e-mail.
