Is Bud actually making these cans available to the public? I haven't seen any

Haven’t seen yet but as it is it’s already a joke. At a boil this weekend a buddy stashed a couple regular Bud Light cans in my cooler

I haven’t been really keeping up with this. What I’ve heard/read about it has been on here. I think it’s sickening, but I was thinking like some, that this won’t hurt much & blow over. No a big deal.

Well I have a buddy in the beer business for the past 20 years, so I texted him. He said there was an “initial shock & sales were down a bit”, but texted me today after many conversations with clients, said there “down 28% & expect another 5-10% decrease by weeks end”. So I was wrong.

He also said the small bars, where you have you’re regulars, & everyone knows everyone, they’re calling it “trans piss”

ETA

He said they’re at -31% end of day & expects it to hit -50% by next week. He also said he doesn’t see it letting up any time soon & will most likely last through the summer, which will really hurt, as that’s when most beer is consumed. The baws are not drinking the “trans piss”

This guy is on the front line, so to speak, and believes it is a major f up by AB. Hasn’t ever seen anything like it. I was totally wrong, along with several others.

My personal top 3 list of brands I do not support / refuse to buy due to the wokeness includes Bud Light, Cole, and Disney.

Just poor marketing to introduce politics to your brand. Dumb dumb dumb.

I literally know the person I was referring to, and have for 25 years. Thanks for trying.



OMG!! You know a lesbian?!? For more than 25 years?

My post said nothing about LGBT. Not one of those letters were even mentioned. My post was about you trying to tell us we are wrong and stupid because other brands support gays.

As I mentioned before, the issue WE are discussing is trans, not the entire gay community. Big difference but you keep putting them all in one pot.

Keep trying….

Wonder if BL will now become a sarcastic hit like Smirnoff Ice and possibly save the brand like I bet happened because of icing.

Trannies are freaks that should be marginalized by any civilized society. I would like to live in civilized society so yeah, I’m anti tranny on beer cans and just in general.

I agree with this, but I think all the publicity they are getting from this is doing the opposite of marginalizing trannies. Everyone talking about this does somewhat normalize trannies.

The best move wouldve been to just not make a huge deal out of this.

Doesn't sound like the NFL of previous "woke" years! So I'd say the pushback had a pretty good effect. They may still have BLM shite on the sidelines, but they arent nearly as "in your face" with it as in the past.

They literally played the black national anthem before the national anthem during the super bowl

Very much this and you would think Disney figured it out:

Trannies will praise you for representation but they won't buy your products. Just like they apparently don't go to the movies..

Or maybe it's just the actual demographic is so small and people are slowly catching on to how cultish it actually is that attempting to appeal to them is a lose lose situation unless you're just out for some ESG money.

Have their sales dropped?

How did AB not stop this before it rolled out?

But they didn't. At the last Shareholder's corporate call, the CEO confirmed they will continue their mission to add gay stuff in kid shows, and continue the quest for minority heavy casts.

Somebody also said that he confirmed they are proud of their initiative to fund a San Fran group that advocates for sex with minors.

I had read a new group is suing the board for their fiduciary irresponsibility.

DEI Hires Beget More DEI Decisions.

Corporate Culture is absolutely broken. They’ve become slaves to DEI and wokeness. This is just the latest example.
