    Boycotting Corona beer? Here in Germany I have heard that their sales went up when Corona happened.

      I’m referring to news items like this one.

      But, while looking for a source on that, I found a couple of articles (Snopes and PolitiFact) that say it’s fake news.

      So, this much 🤏 faith in humanity restored, I guess.

        Here in Germany, Corona Beer was never that big, so I guess the amount of people who bought it because they had just noticed it for the first time is higher than the amount of people who would have bought it but didnt because of the disease.

      It was probably just Trump supporters. Those guys eat all the gloom and doom stuff up because they actually really hope the world’s going to end, as it’s the only way they’ll ever end up on top.
