At the grocery store tonight I bought a six pack of Coors and noticed...

that Cornoa Beer was stacked to the ceiling. I have never liked that beer, but they may want to change their name. All the other beers were being stocked & sold normally. Just sayin...

Having a name that was unfortunately pronounced the same as the then-emerging disease lead to their eventual demise.

Coors still supports a lot of controversial right-wing causes.

You would think that the company would have changed its name if it wanted to disassociate itself from Hitler, but from 1880 to 1989, the name "Adolph" was part of their company name. In 1989, evidently, they got the hint (about the name, at least). Suffice it to say that, to this day, they are not ashamed of their conservatism.
