AB InBev boss blames social media ‘misinformation’ for backlash against Bud Light
Financial Times ^ | 5/8/23 | Eri Sugiura

The chief executive of Anheuser-Busch InBev has blamed misinformation on social media for stoking a conservative consumer boycott of Bud Light after the best-selling US beer was promoted by a transgender influencer.

Bud Light has become the target of a fierce backlash since Dylan Mulvaney posted a video last month on Instagram, where she has 1.8mn followers, featuring a custom-made beer can provided by the brewery that was emblazoned with an image of her face.

The rightwing boycott has led sales volumes of the beer to drop by a quarter, while two Bud Light executives have taken leaves of absence.

Misinformation?

Based on what? Conservatives don’t want to drink or in any way be associated with tranny fluid.

“I think Rational Wing boycott would be more correct.”

You have hit on something powerful here... when the left tries to label opposing views as “right wing,” we should tell them they misspelled “rational.”

Transheuser Busch wants us to Lie Dylan could never celebrate 365 days of womanhood because he was never a woman.

Lucky for Bud there are millions and millions of the Enlightened who will rush in to replace the lost troglodyte consumers.

That has been weighing heavily on my mind, as a lot of other things have, as well.

I do believe this might be the lead-up to the End Times.

A man who thinks he is a woman is not right in the head.

A woman who thinks she is a man is not right in the head.

People who think demented young teenagers are competent to consent to have their boobs cut off are not right in the head.

Bud Lite exists as a creature of advertising. Bud Lite is really the Emperor’s new clothes.

Bud Lite is diluted beer.

The time has come when the markets wants beer.

I think it was an observation of something going viral.

"A man who pantomimes being a woman a caricature of a teen/just past teen female on social media"

More accurate imho. Almost a tranny version of Pee Wee Herman.

Miss Information. The next mascot. The next excuse. The next complaint. The next marketing strategy. What you see is not what's there, because "whatever...."

Progressive politics and cultural warfare in business are a very poor mix. Who would've thought?

“transgender” - simply not possible - fraud

“gender-affirming” when not chromosome consistent - fraud

AB InBev should not spread misinformation.

I was recently made aware of the 12 ft ladder to bypass paywalls.

“The rightwing boycott”

Miss Sugiura needs to stay up with the news a bit better. The queers are now boycotting Pissweiser as well. At least Chicago gay bars are and I’m sure it will spread.

Heinerscheid is a woman who’s world consists of a bubble populated by people just like her. Most of them don’t drink Bud Light or any domestic beer. She thought that they are indicative of the American population and decided that a gay perverted marketing campaign would enhance sales. Moral of the story: Never hire a woke woman to do a real man’s job.

A business owned by a company in Belgium passing itself off as solidly American is misinforming Americans.

A foreign car dealership flying big American flags is misinforming its customers.

Perhaps you could write off as “misinformation” originally. Then the idiot, woke marketing gal doubled down on it.

No, bud just crapped the bed and now they are trying to talk their way out of it.
