The viral "report" came as a shock for booze lovers, especially those who are fans of popular American brand Budweiser.
Twitterati on Thursday woke up to a piece of shocking information as they found a trending "news" that a Budweiser employee has acknowledged having been pissing into beer tanks for 12 years.
This came as shock for booze lovers, especially those who are fans of popular American brand Budweiser.
The "news" was made viral in India after an online portal published the story. According to the article, an employee named Walter Powell (name changed) revealed that he has been peeing inside the beer tanks for the last 12 years. The report claimed that Walter only worked in Budweiser Brewery Experience (Fort Collins, Colorado) and the rest of Budweisers made in other cities are free of piss.
"Is like a Russian Roulette, sometimes when I am with my friends, and they ask for Budweiser, I blush and say to myself, poor guys," the report quoted Walter as saying.
The report further went on to claim that the 75% of Budweiser beer is made in Budweiser Brewery Experience so there is high probability that you have drank Walter's piss if you have consumed Budweiser beer.
This sent a shockwave across social media platforms as there are major fans of the brand. People started sharing memes and jokes.
Fact check
A simple Google search will throw you some news reports related to this, most of which are published recently. The oldest one, however, goes back to May 2020. While one link is of a website called Breaking News And Religion Discussion, another is of a satire website Foolish Humor.
On further probe, we found out that the article was originally published as a satire piece by Foolish Humor. However, the viral screenshots on social media, and misleading report by an online Indian publication seemed to have missed that part.
