Looks like the storm goes on for poor Bud. Guess the image of a 28 year old man pretending to be a 16 year old girl doesn't help Buds plight

I never bought Bud Light before, but I certainly wouldn’t buy it now. I’d be afraid that everyone at the store would think I’m a Democrat if I tried to purchase it.

I don't feel any sympathy at all for InBev/Anheuser Busch. I never liked Budweiser, and Bud Light could only be worse. They have been making the junk since 1982! It is almost criminal.

Now if all those meatheads were busting up cases of Bud Light and making a big deal about it (something they should have done decades ago) because it was an absolutely lousy product to push on American men I could understand it. Those rock heads would certainly be justified.

LOL ... MAGA cancel culture!

I don’t get it. You want to destroy a company that provides jobs for over 100,000 because you didn’t like their ad campaign. You are hurting the workers because Bud will survive. And if sales go down they will let employees go. So the only ones you are hurting is them.

What makes you think that since BUD Light is mostly a blue collar brand and doesn't really appeal to the Lib crowd anyways.

Was a blue collar brand. The executives were effective in getting away from that but not so effective in attracting the emerging Lib crowd it seems

Everyone has the right to buy or not buy a product. It doesn't matter whether ad campaign was good or not. We all have what we consider our own moral code. It doesn't matter who you are there is something that stops you from buying a product, because it offends you. It’s happened with brands before Employees can and will move on to other jobs.

It’s sad but the company did this to themselves. Make sure when you do an ad campaign it doesn't offend and sticks to what your brand is known for.

I dont drink any alcohol so I wouldnt buy any beer brand.

In this case people will not stop buying beer so the disruption would be in transferring the logo on the truck. Now the execs who hired the influencer and their politically incorrect defense of their actions proved that in the end they didn't add value and don't need to be kept on just because.
