If they don’t use corn syrup, who should they care if they make Big Corn mad?

I’ll have feelings for the “lack of support for the industry” when government no longer mandates my fuel be made with corn ethanol.

So is beer made with rice healthier than beer made with corn syrup?

Or is it like saying cigarettes made from organic tobacco is healthier?

HFCS is crap anyway. This. If you think sugar is bad for you, then HFCS is basically poison.


Coke created New Coke and “brought back”. Old Coke and it was all a ploy to switch from real sugar to HFCS.

I have no idea if it’s healthier, but this is a part of bud lite marketing the new ingredients label they are adding to the can. I guess they are the first beer with an ingredient label like you see on food.

Well this is just stupid. You run an advertising campaign with the premise being you use quality ingredients (i.e. no corn syrup) while your competitors don't, only to seek to make amends with the producer of the "bad ingredients" when they, predictably, dislike your ad campaign? Why the hell did you even run it in the first place?

If your marking campaign is essentially "we don't put that bad shite in our beer", why are you concerned when the makers of the "bad shite" are pissed?

That's the point. Budweiser is losing market share to microbreweries. And the perception is microbreweries make a better cleaner product when compared to Bud.

Because some people are pussies who think that never giving offense is a positive attribute.

To act as if this is some assault on the corn industry is laughable.


It blatantly implied that they were inferior beers because they used corn.
