The embarrassment is real for Bud Light.
Several distributors of Anheuser-Busch beer say they have accepted the fact they’ve lost money — and a lot of it — due to consumers boycotting Bud Light. And not just that, but they’ve also given up completely on trying to win back customers who have been negatively affected by the anti-American beer’s Dylan Mulvaney campaign, according to the New York Post.
Hiring freezes and layoffs have been going on for four months, while some beer truck drivers have been slammed with hecklers and other harassment while Bud Light’s sales have tanked over 25%. As a result, wholesalers of Anheuser-Busch have resigned to the large number of customers they’ve lost permanently, and in response, they need to focus on a new set of beer drinkers.
“Consumers have made a choice,” an unidentified executive from a Texas-based beer distributor told the New York Post. “They have left [Bud Light] and that’s how it’s going to be. I don’t envision a big percentage of them coming back.”
Other Anheuser-Busch branded beers such as Budweiser, Busch Light and Michelob Ultra have also been tanking in sales since Bud Light decided to disastrously partner with Mulvaney.
The executive went on to say that customers have most likely found out that Bud Light competitors including Miller Lite and Coors Light “are a very similar product.” Reigning victorious in the beer war all comes down to “whoever is best at marketing,” the executive told The Post.
God, what a disaster.

Nobody’s buying it here in Priest River, either.

Once again, it’s not a boycott. It’s a massively successful rebranding. Problem is, there aren’t enough trannies to support the product.
We don't need the Germans. There are many fantastic local brews in America. My 'goto' beer is brewed about 5 miles from my house.
Just trying to add a bit of comedy. Back when, those Dilly Dilly commercials for Bud Lite were great.
Funny and the possum was cute. No, the animal.
I think possums are cute, the real ones. We have a few that wander around in our backyard every couple of evenings.

We have a few, very benign. They just look at you and go about their business.
Same. So far, for us anyway, they are harmless. I don’t think they like carrots even though they are supposedly omnivores. They do eat the apples I toss sometimes.
Mostly fruit, we set aside a small pile of fruit for them.
Yeah, I had a couple of carrots that were too old and rubbery for me. I cut them up and tossed them out by the bird feeders, which is where we see the possums (and raccoons) most of the time. Neither wanted the carrots. They did love the apple sections I threw out.
