The switch from American Heroes to Men of Genius was a real pussification of America moment. A true cuck signs of things to come

That was when Bud Light was “fratty and out of touch.” Now they use men pretending to be women in their ads.

Listening to the LSU Sports Network in the early 2000s while Real Men of Genius ads ran during commercial breaks was peak America.

They changed it after 9/11. I guess they thought it was a bad look when real heroes had charged up the WTC stairs to certain death. I can't disagree.

They switched because of 9/11 and the following wars. America’s perception of heroes changed after 9/11.

Bud light should bring back those labels instead of the blue ones they use now


Those looked so much better

The best was something about sitting in the uppers at a football game--

It’s a dead brand now. You could not pay me to buy their product.

Bud who?
They were flushed from my thinking and not interested in anything about them.

I switched to Yeungling and haven't looked back. Bud Light's transparent attempts to undo the damage from their disgusting tranny campaign are too little too late. They just come off as patronizing and pandering.

The truth is it was never a great beer, to me anyway. Of the Big 3, I preferred Coors Light. I can't stand Miller and simply just won't drink it. But Bud Light was fine in a pinch. We didn't have Yeungling in Kentucky until a few years ago. No idea why but they finally expanded here.

I like craft beers, but sometimes you just want a regular domestic. Sometimes you don't feel like paying $20 for a 6 pack when you can pay $10 for a case (hyperbole.)

Yeungling is sold for a comparable price and tastes waaaaaay better. So you're already behind the 8ball Bud Light. Tack on the tranny campaign and there just isn't really any reason for me to ever go back.

Do I sit her and seethe with conservative rage over that? No, of course not. The moment has passed, and they fricked up. They lost my business with that stunt and the fact of the matter is now, here in Kentucky anyway, there is a better product for a better value.

We had a decade from the time the Soviet Union went defunct to 9/11 where we had (almost) no distractions.

A veritable international “Era of Good Feelings” so to speak.

It was bliss traveling in Europe during that time.

fricking Taliban.
