Peggy found out, brought it to her superiors, and was basically told it's none of your business, so she gave the board members some of the tainted beer that was being sold in Mexico. Their violent reaction was getting sick.
Well, soapy beer would taste terrible, lol.

Actually, they don't want to turn the Sea World parks into a Disneyland, Carowind, Knotts Berry Farm type of place. InBev doesn't want the parks at all and is much more interested in selling off them off, since they are "non-core business assets". We are much more likely to see them sold off to another company (hopefully not Cedar fair) than to see InBev get rid of the Busch name and turn them into another kind of park.

I dunno, but if I were the Clydesdales horses over there I'd be pretty darn worried. Horse meat is a delicacy in Belgium. Before equine slaughterhouses were outlawed here, most of them were actually Belgian owned.

Probably both. InBev was heavily leveraged in the initial takeover. The recession will hurt them even more.

That reminds me of a story I heard about pre Castro Cuba. The punch line was, "Your sister?!?! I won't even drink the water!!"
