They're redesigning their packaging, thinking it will lure more people to buy their products. Their sales are good, but down, as the economy is also down. So they redesign their packaging? Isn't that expensive, considering the retooling, etc? They wouldn't be the first group that changed their looks and lost even more public appeal. Someone did mention that the cans were more reminiscent of Coke cans...freudian? Perhaps not! But why not just lower your prices?
Speaking of that, yesterday Molson-Coors was quoted as saying they raised their prices as they were "losing money", and they still are losing market share. In this economy you raise prices??? Oh sorry, those high-priced CEOs need their perks, so we must make more money. Guess they're hurting too in this economy. I think "losing money" simply means that they are not making as much profit as they anticipated. They're not really "losing money" the way the majority of us define it!
Of course I could be wrong about all of the above, but there's another "problem" with selling more beer...called drinking responsibly! A potential DWI, thousands of dollars in lawyer and other fees, plus jail time and the potential of really hurting other human beings, may have also cut into their profits. As for those beer drinkers to which this is a wake-up call...I say "Good for you!" Beer is not a necessity in your daily diet!
As for me, I'm gonna get myself an iced tea, on Day 163!
