Also they plan to transition from twist-offs to requiring bottle openers

quote:

NBC News reports that gay bars in Chicago are boycotting all Anheuser-Busch products because they expect them to ‘align with their values’ and ‘not trample on the rights of customers’. Another accused the brand of ‘siding with a group of people who are being hateful’.

It’s fascinating watching Bud Light implode.

I think the only way they won't piss anyone off at this point is releasing unpainted silver cans with Bud Light written in sharpie. Even then, someone's going to be pissed at them. Shouldn't have bent the knee.

This is a textbook example that should be taught in marketing classes for years. Don’t pander to politics on either side. You’re alienating potential customers no matter what you do. It’s awesome watching this play out.

I hope Tranheuser-Busch goes bankrupt but they won't.

GLAAD is a pretty militant and aggressive LGBTQ organization. They're also the ones twisting the arms of Hollywood to force in weird LGBTQ stuff.

Went woke and pissed off the rednecks (90% of their client base).
Pulled back to please the 90% but instead pissed off the other 10% without pleasing the 90%.
Now just trying to salvage the 10%.

Brilliant marketing plan.

The world was a better place when politics were kept private.

Bud Light is acting like an improperly tuned autopilot, throwing the boat alternately to port and starboard with no ability to get on-center. They should probably turn the "damping" knob way up, i.e. do and say nothing. If they do that, they might make it through this with about half their sales intact, which is the best they can hope for.

That’s the neat thing about identity politics, if you’re in a protected class you can just make shite up

Bud Lite just doing what every other corporation is doing. Pandering to the wackjob leftists hasn’t hurt Starbucks or Target or NFL etc and every corporation has DIE trash.

It is surprising that this tranny can is finally what got traction. This should be response to all the woke corporations.
