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.

I heard this morning A/B has Fired the advertising agency that was responsible for this. IF that is true those guys are out tens of Millions of Dollars. Next the executives that were put on leave need to be "Canned" next.
Will this fix the mess? Who knows
Bud Light "Pissed"off 80% of it's customers who are SICK and TIRED of the "Woke ism" that is being crammed down our Throats it might be too Late to try and "fix" this!

I don't think the latest is going to go over any better than the previous excuses. You're right! The hole they are digging just keeps getting deeper and deeper.

Bud Light has done absolutely nothing to rehabilitate the brand or enhance or make people love the product more that they may have liked previously.Exactly right! They've now aptly and unconsciously re-named themselves as "BUTT-LIGHT.. The QUEER BEER!"
To: CFW
That’s funny how that worked. I got right on to read the article thru this link. Other link was a paywall.
