As an American, the purchase of Anheuser-Busch by InBev was like a dagger through my heart. That doesn't mean that I was enamored with their product. Budweiser was (is) a second rate (and that's being generous) product. However, they were an American institution and I took their acquisition by a foreign entity personally.

Some of you may have heard of Chock full 'o nuts coffee. Who in their right mind would want nuts in their coffee? NOBODY! Yet, as a wholly American institution, I appreciate the fact that they remained faithful to the nation. Budweiser, no matter how American they might be, could not muster the intestinal fortitude to maintain that relationship. Damn them to hell!
