Beer Me Please!

93-year-old woman gets 150 cans of beer delivered to her door after viral plea for “more beer“

Since the beginning of the pandemic, an 93-year-old woman named Olive Veronesi, went viral on Facebook due to her witty white board sign that claimed that she needs more beer. The message was important to her because she only has 12 cans of beer left and she was unable to leave the house to get anymore due to the pandemic. After blowing up on Facebook, CBS Pittsburgh took it into their own hands to spread the message online. This viewing permitted thousands of comments and being shared by over 51,000 times.

After the significant outreach this picture has experienced, it finally reached someone that is very vital to this woman’s happiness. It reached a beverage company named, Molson Coors, the makers of Coors Light, which is pictured in her photograph. The company reached out to Olive and explained to her how they will have 150 cans of beer shipped to her within the next few days. After receiving the beer Olive took it into her own hands to make another sign on the white board saying, “Got More Beer.” Additionally, Coors explains how they will offer her a standing offer for whenever she make need a restock.

I love this article because it explains how despite the pandemic, people are still looking out for each other. This beer company not only made one very old woman very happy, but helped themselves gain great publicity in hard times that we are currently in.
