They tried a new commercial, still got mocked. The brand is dead, never coming back. @Eric Holder feel free to add that to predictions, I'm fairly confident in the outcome.

The new display at the Supermarket (Winn Dixie) is 10 feet in height, festooned with token American symbols. It's $5 for 18 bottles after rebate, and nobody is buying.

Being a block off the beach this July 4th weekend, the place was jammed when I went in to buy some buns and rolls, and still the Bud languished unbrought. The other beer shelves were fairly picked through, about half-capacity, some areas totally empty. But the Blue Bud Light boxes were still completely full.

Great to see.

Annnnnnnd...looks like it is gone from Costco.

Costco updates their stock pretty often. If it doesn't sell, they stop carrying it.

Fantastic News on the Costco dump.

Don't believe the hype, any decline in Bud will be made up with other beers, the distributors will be fine. Pretty much no distributor depends solely on one company.

“Costco has not made any public comment on Bud Light and does not publicly discuss stocking decisions. So the question of whether the chain will fully remove Bud Light from its warehouse clubs remains open.”

This is a symbolic destruction.

I don't think companies should be allowed to engage in this bullshit. Destroying a brand, a label, even if it doesn't harm the company, is still sending a message of "stop with this shit".

This makes sense in red Florida. Hell, even in deep blue California the Bud drinking is super way down. Halfway through an Angels game the Budweiser pavilion was empty and the few there were drinking other labels.

Distributors no longer expecting Bud Light Sales to recover.

"Consumers have made their choice."

Excellent. Nothing disciplines a company better. Next time they'll be more skeptical when their Urban Professional Millie Bluehair Marketing Exec suggests more Wokey-Dokey.

man those executives in their fancy offices, they still don’t comprehend the evil they aligned with promoting tranny shit. no fucking morals.

Miller Light brewer benefits from Bud Light’s turmoil

I think the difference between cancel culture and boycotts, one is done by fringe radicals who don't have the numbers, the other is done by the rest of us.
