“somehow it’s OK to drink Bud Light again”
It was never OK. It just isn’t any good, even for its type of beer.
Let's not be naive. Its because Bud Light paid them $15 million or more for their endorsement.
Bluntly:
If I was an ethics-deficit consultant for the advertising industry, this is exactly the sort of thing I’d be stealthily promoting among corporations (dei, etc.) while waiting to pick up the pieces and reap all the supplemental million$$ of rewards that AB et al will be compelled to expend with advertisers to win back market share.
Not alleging a conspiracy, but it’s what I’d do under such a scenario.
But from my chair: Dumbasses.
Former Bud Light drinkers who have found other beers are probably not going back to Bud, whatever Kid Rock says.
I like Dana White and am a fan of the UFC but this is the 2nd time he’s disappointed me....the 1st was when he got into bed with espn and even more fights went pay per view only.
Also, anybody know how much tickets are to UFC events?
When they finally came to my town I was interested until I found out the cheapest ticket was well over $500.......that’s damned obscene IMO.
For many, it is now and will forever be, tranny fluid. For many others, it is, always has been, and always will be only marginally more drinkable than donkey p*ss.
Stop funding huge conglomerates that hate you. Support your local brewers, distillers and wineries.
They are ultra woke.
“InBev need to sell AB. All of it. It needs to be sold to 100% American ownership. I’m sure there are a number of Based investors who would like to make Bud a fun all American brand again.”
BUD stock is up 5.34% this year. You can buy as many shares as you like and make it more American owned.
When I was younger I used to read Dear Abby....
There was one thing that I based my life upon....
When you make a mistake, you must follow a 3 step procedure...
1) Admit it.
2) Correct it.
3) Move on.
This process keeps your integrity intact.
You can and will pay a price, but your integrity remains intact.
These self centered people have not even considered step 1.
Let’s get back to basics. Bud Light is a beer.
If one depends on Kid Rock’s endorsement to decide what to do, they are lost anyway.
First , I love Kid Rock’s attitude, but he is a total phony. He never grew up in Detroit or on the streets. He grew up on a farm in a rich family. He is about the money as much as anyone.
Obviously, Queer Beer is a money maker for him. Says a lot about his clientele.
Their problem isn’t the brand anymore. It’s that people have switched to alternatives and they’ve no compelling reason to switch back. If people were just mad at the brand, purely because it was a great product and they knew they had to go without, that would be different. They’d return if some appropriate steps were taken. But it’s not a great product. It had a legacy, cheap beer from the days with far fewer alternatives. That’s gone.
A whore will do about anything gor money, by definition, not by insulting verbage.
These two will do just about anything for money.
Nuff sed.
For me it will never happen, Bud products are gone. I found an American Company Yeungling.
Good heavens, I’m shocked to hear the author questioning the sincerity of highly-paid celebrity endorsers. White’s taking in a tidy $105 million and Lord only knows how much Rock is raking in. They paid Mulvaney a cool $185,000 for his little act (”It was only one can” my aching buttocks). YooToob creators are swimming in endorsements of products they not-so-secretly despise. This game has been going on since Marconi endorsed White Claw (I exaggerate, but not by much). I’d say “Don’t believe these guys” but let’s face it, nobody really does anyway.
