After nearly two weeks and a massive backlash to a promotional campaign with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, the Bud Light Twitter account finally posted again Friday.
The beer giant's last tweet came on April 1, when they posted: 'Beers on us? Must be game time. For a chance to win, cheer on your team with #EasyToEnjoySweepstakes in the replies.'
While they have gone a few days without tweeting in the past, the @BudLight is typically fairly active, as are their other regular social channels. The feed had tweeted 10 times in the prior seven days and is usually active during large sporting events.
On April 2, the next day, Mulvaney posed a video across her social media channels announcing the deal and promoting a contest that gave drinkers a chance to win $15,000. The Instagram video currently has over 11,000 comments, many of them unhappy with the promotion.
Friday, the account tweeted out a traditional can of Bud Light beer with the acronym 'TGIF,' which stands for 'Thank God It's Friday.'
Many were not particularly enthused by the prompt, with conservatives tweeting out insults at the brand.
Conservative personality Harmeet K. Dhillon simply replied: 'GTH' or 'Go to hell.'
Former Trump White House advisor Stephen Miller said: 'Stop promoting transgender ideology.'
Tyler Fischer suspected the acronym stood for 'Thank God I'm Fired' and was written by the company's social media manager.

you win!!!
To all the freepers saying they will never drink Bud light.
Will you remember to keep boycotting them?
I remember the outrage over Gillette’s “toxic masculinity” advertisement. But guys forgot.
I found cheaper options to Gillette that are of equal or better quality and value. Not going back yo any Proctor and gamble product.
Will all you freepers remember to never touch any bud light or better yet, any InBev beer?
“I found cheaper options to Gillette that are of equal or better quality and value.”
Do tell. I’m looking for a new razor company.
I use teo types
1. A straight razor using Feather, Japanese made razor blades.
2. A house brand of lidl that makes 4 blade razors. You could find similar stuff at Costco
But mostly I use the straight double edged razor blades.
Great blade.
“The beer giant’s last tweet came on April 1...”
Their best move at this point might have been to say “Gotcha! That Mulvaney stuff was just an April Fool’s joke! Did you really think Bud Light supports perverts???”
Well, you can always write an angry letter and tell them you’ll never buy Bud again. You don’t have to mention that you never bought it in the first place.
Thanks.
I have switched to Shem Ale

Oh, I’m pretty sure I’ll keep on NOT drinking Bud Light. I didn’t drink it before this belated April Fools’ Day joke of an ad campaign and I don’t plan to start now.
If the Dylan Mulvaney campaign had launched one day earlier I might have believed it was a bad April Fools’ Day joke. No such excuse for Hershey’s, however.

This Garbage Is Foul
After I retired I worked in a liquor store for a few years. We sold a few six packs of Bud Light but the overwhelming amount if sales were 24 packs, 30 packs and 36 packs to alcoholics who brought back the empties 2-3 days later for more.
It’s an undrinkable brew, not even legally beer in places like Germany. It’s shipped as a concentrate and reconstituted at bottling plants. I think AB had no chance of rebranding this swill and simply should have let it die. Maybe they could have replaced it with a quality product.
Good. Keep it going....tell a friend.
Coors? Definitely something which could be avoided. My recollection of it is “beer flavored carbonated water”
