    Well, when you have a product that basically defines the absence of uniqueness, is readily replaceable by multiple alternatives at the same price, and only popular because of historical use and habit, you’ve been constantly at risk of losing it all even if you didn’t see it

      Most Bud light “alternatives” were just other Anheuser-Busch brands. Like busch lost just 1% of their sales that year, despite a 30% decrease in bud light. People are not very smart. (Of course 1% drop for shareholders causes a meltdown because line must always go up)
