sorry fellas, but at a $1 a 12 pk, I'd buy as much as I can. In mexico, they don't give a fuck about pictures on cans.

Are you familiar with macho culture, and how much of a stigma is on gay people in that country? I still remember seeing Return of the King in TJ and hearing people snicker about Sam and Frodo holding hands. If they ever tried to pull this shit with Tecate, the brand would be dead in a week.

GNL says

Not the worst idea because at that price they'd be taking a loss at every sale.

You over-estimate the quality of their ingredients.

"Guys! This is so funny and bizahr."

I'm saying that if they sold at that price, you could really hurt them by buying a shit ton of it because it would get them that much closer to bankruptcy.

They lose more if it's not purchased at all.

I'm rather doubtful this will really hurt them. It's a viral marketing campaign to take a short term hit, but to raise brand awareness. I mean, hell, people can't even get all that mad about being lied into a war.

And I'm saying I don't think they spend much to make a can of their tranny swill.

I think with Disney that they lost subscribers to the streaming service, but yeah when there are still more people that want to go to your theme park than it can handle either way it's not going to hurt that part of the business.

AB InBev boss blames social media ‘misinformation’ for backlash against Bud Light

If they apologize and admit they insulted their base, the anti-family faction will cancel them. But if they don't apologize, their base is cancelling them. I guess they figure better to betray their customers than anti-family beliefs.

That works. I just gave up drinking in secret. I simply don't care. People are led to fear police and "authority." I don't. What are they going to do with a guy sipping a beer causing no problems? While someone is on meth or fentanyl. Police WANT a controlled drinker in the mix of things.

Sober people will be righteous. Other drunks will fight. You have to be able to think at both levels. The only time I didn't stop it was bad, and the only time I got punched (sucker punched) as an adult. Pretty sure they were on cocaine as well. Otherwise I've easily broken up a dozen of fights. Nashville has been the worst of all places I've dealt with it. I think 3-4 there. I've dragged dudes out and given them cigarettes and talk them down. Guess what, no cops involved and they were called in most cases. These are randoms, no one I know.

The days of punching a dude in the mouth and walking away in public are over. You will go to jail. I've yet to have been attacked, but I'll grab any of them by the shirt and drag them outside. Chicks you want to attract (good chicks) don't find dudes punching each other in the bar or hotel lobby attractive. That's my go to. Even if wasted they sit there and think. He's (I'm) right.

Girls are turned on for a moment by the macho man. Control a situation going south and they be drooling on your cock. You become the boss. Trust me. Fighting is the smallest dick thing you can do.

Anheuser Busch snuck some tranny juice in on me. Sweet and dark but it's from my last Sixpack of this beer from the same company that makes bud lite.

Tasted better before I knew...

Reminds me of the story of when I woke up hungover with a fake fingernail in my underwear.

In rural TX you’d be called a joto if you drink Bud light…followed by verbal and perhaps physical abuse if local delightful mix of rednecks and Mexicans were drunk enough

I canceled Disney (nothing worth watching), got Harry’s razors, no one should be eating Hersheys to begin with.

This isn’t hard ppl

Harry's did the toxic masculinity BS too. I'm hairy enough I definitely put a small ding in Gillette.

Dang, I didn't know this.

My wife's cousin likes cheap beer, so my wife bought her a six pack for a party this weekend. When she got home I saw the Bud Light and asked her if she remembered why no one drinks it anymore. She had forgotten, but said if she'd remembered, would not have bought it. I told her someone is going to make fun of it tonight.
Sure enough once everyone arrives, a Bud Light is pulled out for her cousin, and right away another family member remarks about it being tranny beer. My wife starts laughing, and I told them I knew this would happen.

Her family is Mexican, not very political, all lived in California forever, and even they know. Another cousin mentioned you can no longer go into AutoZone and ask about tranny fluid. Spent the next thirty minutes joking about that.

Even in California Bud Light has few friends.

Just brought a case of that, good shit!

Bud offering up to $20 rebate on a 24 pack. Potential to make money on the deal.

Now that Fox Corp. has sold off most of its entertainment properties, it has become a standalone company that will retain ownership of its broadcast network, owned-and-operated network affiliates, the Fox News Channel, Fox Business Network and Fox Sports.

The entertainment division is owned by Dizzey.

Budweiser Beer Garden two Sundays ago at Anaheim Angels game, 4th inning.

I did a 1mo overlay with BUD and other major beer producers.

BUD is -9% when everyone else is in the green.

This is as of 5/21/23.

1829? Shouldn't Yuengling be called OldFuckLing?

In my thinking, Bud is dead and it is not coming back, ever! They think We The People are gullible and stupid...

Won't happen. They'll turn it into a hipster beer like Pabst. I still don't think it will lose 12-24 month long term market share. It will be slightly down but they're going to hide it behind another brand. Busch is the first candidate. Fishing, farming, hunting, etc. themes. Then build Bud back up.

Target is backpedaling and does not want to be wiped out like Bud...

"A Target insider told Fox News that South and rural America stores are removing controversial LGBT-themed products ahead of June Pride month to avoid further backlash..."

Heh... imagine that!

"Some products ranged from "tuck-friendly" swimsuits for transgender people to gender-fluid coffee mugs. The insider said the reasoning behind such an abrupt move is "to avoid the kind of backlash Bud Light has received in recent weeks."

Too late. It already happened! People do not want to be seen buying or drinking Bud beer.

False. Played volleyball in rural redneck country last night. People were drinking it. Neighbors had it in their fridge. Kickball Sunday people drinking it. I'm telling you the stigma is and will wear off once summer starts and the initial shock wears off. I have no interest in it failing or succeeding. Wife's family has been in the restaurant/bar industry for decades. It ain't going anywhere.

I live by what I see and hear. Sales are down. Bud Light ain't going away though. We drink a decent amount and are out and about frequently. Bud is still being bought. I see people drinking it daily almost. We only know of one person that says they'll never drink an AB beer again. We know a lot of people. 1 out of 1,000 (at least). It's become a joke now and people will drink it to make conversation. This wasn't done on accident.

If you're talking about Bud Light, you're marketing for Bud Light. Let that soak in.
