CORONA EXTRA NAMED FAVORITE BEER ON FACEBOOK
CHICAGO – June, 2009 - What do the New York Yankees, the hit TV show Friends and Corona Extra have in common? They have each been selected as a favorite in their respective category by the users of the Facebook social media network.
Corona was selected by Facebook users as their favorite beer in a “Pick Five” Favorite Beers survey, which collected the opinions of 2.5 million people on Facebook, according to PC World. The “Pick
Five” Favorite Beers survey is part of a Facebook application where users worldwide choose their favorite five things based on different topics. Corona Extra topped the beer list, appearing 645,445 times. Other “Pick Five” lists include Best Albums of All Time, Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd, and Favorite Movies of all Time, The Notebook. The top car Facebook users want is the 2009 Aston Martin.
“Corona Extra topping off the list of an unsolicited survey definitely reflects just how special Corona is based on its refreshing taste profile and unique brand imagery,” said Jim Sabia, EVP of marketing for Corona Extra and Crown Imports. “These voluntary social surveys allow consumers to connect with the brand on their own terms, and we are thrilled to be selected as the favorite beer among these key users worldwide alongside other iconic choices like the Yankees and Friends," The survey results illustrate the appeal of imported beers. Following Corona at the top of the list
were import brands Heineken, Guinness and Stella Artois and the lone domestic beer, Budweiser.
