Well this really sucks - like their beer. Don’t bite off more woke than you can chew Inbev.

For session beer, look no further than Yuengling or Yuengling Light.

My local Neighborhood Walmart store had probably its entire inventory of Bud Light stacked at the entrance to the checkout area today ... and it looked like no one had taken any. Guess the store was trying to promote impulse buying, but it wasn’t working.

This is how they abeable to claim it's "only" down 20-30%. The woke retailers have bought from the distributors Trouble is, it's not moving out of the stores, even at 41¢ per can!

It's going to get worse.

Weaponized targeted boycotts work.

I’d like to see the people do the same to the corrupt evil individuals who’ve hijacked this government.

There’s nothing wrong with drinking cheap beer. When I’m out on my deck, I always had a few cans of Busch Light. I’m not going to drink my good stuff.

Easier yet, just push Michelob Light instead.

Budweiser made a mistake when they let a 39 year old female blockhead make marketing decisions aimed at an outlier demographic.

They’ll pay a price for their stupidity, but long term they should he all right.

Yet, they have not canceled the promotion or association, nor have they apologized. The boycott continues.

Bud Light is not beer, it is a beer-like fluid. :P

They had some $5 Venmo thing a few days ago and I took their money. Supposed to spend it on Bud Light.
Sure thing, Jack.

I think a brilliant marketing move by Gillette would be to hire Shineyhind to feature Mulvaney in a commercial aimed at women on shaving pubic hair with a Gillette razor.

********
Lol....nice thinking & hilarious.

They might get away with it for these reasons.

Gillette is a high priced name brand that a “cheapskate” named unclebankster actually is willing to pay for & use.

I know it’s a good product because my wife uses my razors on those female issues you mentioned, instead of the “chick razors” I purchase for her.

“She wants a clean shave.”😀

Executives with the Belgian beer giant, with its North American headquarters in St. Louis, said last week that they'd triple spending on the brand, with increased marketing and advertisement efforts focused on sports and music.

Yeah, that's the ticket! Triple down!

And if they're considering music, might I suggest:

That should really boost sales!

...He added that the Mulvaney partnership was "one camp, one influencer, one post and not a campaign."...

This is a huge mistake. Minimizing the problem is just going to lead to even more boycotts. It shows they have learned nothing from the experience.

They need to take responsibility, confess it was a stupid idea and promise to never repeat it. Then halve the price for the next 3 months and customers will flock back.

Decades ago I was just promoted in the USAF and was in a good mood. A group of young airmen was pooling their money to buy that generic beer. I told them no and kicked in the money so they could buy a good name brand beer as I was horrified that anyone would have to drink that. I did try it once.

Please tell that the generic beer isn’t still around.

My nephew told me that where he lives the COSTCO had Bud for around $15 for 36 beers.

I hope they crater.

Their destruction may serve to stop the constant pushing of this pervert garbage.

Fortunately there’s little room for discount. It’s extremely low margin.
