re: If this ends up killing the Bud Light brand, what is a comparable precedent?

I know it's not really related, but the Bud Light situation packaged with the Fox News Tucker thing has made it a REALLY good few months for laughing at billionaires.
At first I remember posting things like "Ok, now this isn't going to kill Bud Light or anything, but..." then talked about how much money they were gonna lose over it.
Now though, I honestly think this might kill BL as a brand. They're gonna have to come up with something new. Maybe a name change or marry the trademarks into Budweiser somehow, but the term "Bud Light" is pretty epically fricked, and it's looking like light beer drinkers have a much longer memory than AB realized.
Really though. It's pretty great to watch.

I wonder what the data is for other beers in AB's portfolio.

Henry's Hamburger quietly started using horse meat around 1965. Customers took note of the sudden absence of the "100% pure beef" claim in their newspaper ads. Henry's went from being bigger than McDonald's to having just a single location in Benton Harbor, MI.

AB InBev is doing just fine. I know a guy that works at the distribution near Baton Rouge and he said they are selling more of the other brands because people don't realize they own those too, and supposedly they are more profitable.

Gillette. But I don’t think it crashed the brand because IMO, their product was still pretty good.

My first thought was Jimmy Kimmel. After Trump was elected, he basically came out and said Republicans shouldn't watch his show. Well they took him up on that and his ratings have been terrible since. And the time he had gained a lot of the Letterman/Leno crowd when they retired.

how is this not just cancel culture from the right?
I say this who thinks bud light is piss in a can and don't care at all if it dies.

The only thing I can think of is New Coke. But, they saved their butts by immediately releasing Classic Coke and then just scrapping New Coke. There is nothing Bud lite can do. Fox News, on the other hand, can apologize, put Carlson back on the air at a greatly expanded salary, invite him to sit on the board of directors and perhaps save their butts like CocaCola.

I remember a long time ago Ford tried to introduce a model in Italy where the name of the vehicle in Italian literally meant "will not run". (Or I might have made that up)

Bud Light will fade but it won’t die.

Much smaller scale of course: Shing's in BR off of Govt Street. I believe they wrote on their sign that they don't use dog and cat meat in response to rumors about this Chinese buffet serving dog and cat meat Opened on a Monday, grand closing on Tuesday.

These companies using their brands to push liberal woke are not doing it without knowing exactly how its going to turn out. Do people really think that with all the data collection harnessed by companies today that they do not have an exact profile of all their customer group down to the most finite details? Come one! This was no mistake or accident or something they thought would go different.
This is way bigger than some Marketing exec trying to push her woke idea. Its happening across all industries and countries and the only people to have that much power are the ones who can make a winner a loser overnight and there is not a thing anyone can do about it. The top investment funds.
These are how these woke ideas that go completely against the grains of sound business are occurring. These companies are being blackmailed to bend the knee and their executives are powerless to do anything but bend the knee. They put their people on the boards to control the CEO's whose only concern is making sure the big deposits still hit their account.

Wendy's changing their fries seemed to kill them. They have never been the same.
