If this is true, It would be wonderful. I'm going to call Budweiser and Pepsi and thank them. 

How Budweiser handled those who laughed at those who died on the 11th of September, 2001...Thought you might like to know what happened in a little town north of Bakersfield, California.

After you finish reading this, please forward this story on to others so that our nation and people around the world will know about those who laughed when they found out about the tragic events in New York, Pennsylvania, and the Pentagon.

On September 11th, a Budweiser employee was making a delivery to a convenience store in a California town named McFarland. He knew of the tragedy that had occurred in New York when he entered the business to find the two Arabs, who owned the business, whooping and hollering to show their approval and support of this
treacherous attack.

The Budweiser employee went to his truck, called his boss and told him of the very upsetting event! He didn't feel he could be in that store with those horrible people. His boss asked him, "Do you think you could go in there long enough to pull every Budweiser product and item our beverage company sells there? We'll never deliver to them again."

The employee walked in, proceeded to pull every single product his beverage company provided and left with an incredible grin on his face. He told them never to bother to call for a delivery again.
Budweiser happens to be the beer of choice for that community. Just letting you know how Kern County handled this situation.

And Now The Rest Of The Story:

It seems that the Bud driver and the Pepsi man are neighbors. Bud called Pepsi and told him. Pepsi called his boss who told him to pull all Pepsi products as well!!! That would include Frito Lay, etc. Furthermore, word spread and all vendors followed suit! At
last report, the store was closed indefinitely. Good old American
Passive-Aggressive A$$ Whoopin!

Pass this along, America needs to know that we're all working together!

If you can read this... Thank a teacher... If you are reading it in English....THANK A SOLDIER!!! God Bless America !!

According to truthorfiction.com, it is false however, they have several reports of it having happened around the country.  Bud and Pepsi could not validate it however, they could not invalidate it either.

Lets hope it is true!

Yeah, it may sound a little fishy, but...it could very well have happened in a smaller town/community, and the parent companies might not know. I think local distributors could probably do it, if they wanted.

That's too bad, It sure would have been the right thing to do. Unfortunately, the almighty dollar prevails. Loyalty & patriotism goes out the window when it comes to money. BTW what are Muslims doing selling booze  That's supposed to be a big No No for them

Vette(s): had a really nice one. sold it to a good friend. Purchased 2004 custom coupe in Feb. 2009 did not tell anyone here until August 2009. BAD I KNOW.
another way that could work is when Americans, true Americans, see things like that that if no one would buy anything from that store it would go bye bye.
