So Long Bud!


Anheuser-Busch sells-out!
For millions, Budweiser is synonymous with American beer, or at least it was.
Although Anheuser-Busch as a company has little influence in the daily lives of Americans, its flagship brands, Budweiser and Bud Light, are (or were) closely linked to American rituals such as barbecues and baseball.
Here's a slide show of famous "American brands" that are now in foreign hands.via BusinessWeek.com. These sort of takeovers are nothing new, but certainly a disturbing trend.
Where does it end? It seems the whole U.$.A. is for sale to the highest bidder.

This Bud's for EU!
