Aisle after aisle in supermarkets across the nation appears to confirm that Bud Light is far from being the flavor of the week.
On what is considered by many Americans to be the unofficial start to summer, instead of shelves looking depleted from a Memorial Day weekend of partying and drinking, rows of store shelves sat packed with Bud Light and Budweiser in posts shared on social media.
Following the backlash over the use of transgender influence Dylan Mulvaney by parent company Anheuser-Busch to promote Bud Lights, the company has seen its market value tank.
The hit has been anecdotal and in actual sales, which have fallen 26 percent since the backlash started in early April.
The controversy left social media users documenting the company's carnage in real-time and the dramatic effect it is having on their sales.

I saw a couple of my South of the Border neighbors hauling in a couple of cases over the weekend......But they don’t speak English..................
The other night my neighbor had a get together, one of the guys was drinking Bud Lite, I asked his girlfriend what it was like to have a gay boyfriend.
I’d like to see a campaign where people put little stickers on cases of Bud Light beer, kind of like people putting Biden “I did that” stickers on gas pumps in 2021.
If you figure the pricing currently, 14-cents a can, I could see some south-of-the-border guys eyeballing purely on price. There’s zero profit for the A-B guys or the distributor, or the beverage shop itself (just dumping it before expiration date).
That would be funny. It needs to be either a sticker with Dylan Mulvaney’s face or that horse faced VP of marketing.
They don’t care as long as it’s beer.
They are probably completely unaware of the controversy.....................
"...Beer Business Daily editor Harry Schuhmacher told Fox News Digital that the 'whole industry is in shock'. He claimed the newfound demand for lagers not owned by Anheuser-Bush could result in a trickle-down effect on the industry. He said: 'Even Bud's competitors aren't really dancing on the grave because they know it could have happened to them. You can't just flip a switch and make beer. You know, beer is brewed. It takes, you know, at least a couple of weeks to make'..."
Really. "It could have happened to them" as if they just happened to be based in California on the San Andreas Fault, and an earthquake registering 8.0 on the Richter Scale hit.
Like some kind of random effect unrelated to them.
Someone should probably clue in those "competitors" who are "in shock" that if they do this, unless they have beer specifically targeted at homosexuals and transgenders, it will happen to them to.
And it SHOULD happen to them.
Most of us don't "hate" homosexuals or transsexuals, and believe they should be able to get help for their delusion.
Especially transsexuals who have the delusion they can somehow BE the opposite sex of what they were born as, if only the right surgery, drugs, makeup, or clothing can be brought into play.
Most of us would just ignore them if they kept their delusion to themselves. But what we see, this execrable force-feeding of their delusion to normal people, trying to force us to be part of their delusion, is maddening.
Maddening to the point of $19 Billion Dollars worth of maddening.
My hope is that two things will happen: First, that this nonsense will stop. (I doubt it will, but I can hope)
Second, that we will hear about this for years to come, that documentaries will be made, and Anheiser-Busch will be taught in busisness courses as an object example of how to completely demolish a business in the shortest available time, if that is the goal. (This should happen, but given the living lie that the DIE intiatives are, and how deeply they have become embedded in business practices now, this may be held up as a path to follow, further destroying Capitalism and limiting our choices.)
hahahahaha that made me spit my lunch!
It is heartening to realize that there may be even a majority of Americans who are not friendly to the gaystapo agenda. Many of us, myself included, have a family to feed, and so we have to be careful. Maybe we should be even more alarmed in the form of censorship that is self censorship. I am betting there are millions of Americans who are self censoring but are not happy with this agenda.
How clever of you.
Perhaps you can tell us how she responded?
You may have the makings of an entertaining screenplay there.
If the writers are still on strike you may score big.
Esa cerveza es lo que beben los maricones.
They voluntarily rebranded themselves as the beer of a confused twitchy man, dancing around giggling and pretending that he's a little girl.
The rebrand is complete. They're not coming back. Nobody wants to be affiliated with their new giggly weirdo child stalker image.
Oh man that was funny.
The first blurb had me laughing out loud then I read the second...
It is hard to fathom how they did this, except for one thing: These female marketing executives, like the one at Gillette, live in Leftist bubbles, and at best, they are so poorly educated at their craft, that they don’t understand who their target audience is.
And that is at best, giving them the benefit of the doubt which I am not inclined to do anyway.
At worst, those female marketing executives fully understand their target audience, but think they can bring about social change by trying to normalize something that is not only NOT normal to the average guy, but is at odds with the basic biology, who being mostly men, will recoil in revulsion no matter how much lipstick you put on that pig.
From an average guy’s perspective, most normal guys don’t want to show up at a party and hear one of their buddies say “WTF, man, why are you drinking fag beer?”
I seriously think these out of touch feminist douchebags running marketing believe a normal guy is going to reply “Hey. Why is it a problem? You are just narrow-minded, I say let people live their lives.” I believe those people really believe that is the normal response.
Sure, some guys might hold up their crappy Bud Light and say “Hey, not my business. Let them do what they want.”
But most guys know the response will be an attempt to ditch the beer, so they don’t have to deal with successive guys saying “Hey! Someone over there told me you were drinking fag beer tonight!”
Because, as anyone knows who works around guys, it is like getting a nickname. If you get a nickname you don’t like, your best shot is to own it and accept it and go on, because if you try to justify why it is wrong, a problem, or doesn’t fit, that name will stick to you like glue forever. So, you don’t give people the option of branding you so you don’t have to accept it, or justify it every time there is drinking of beer going on.
fag beer aka trans fluid.
Exactly. “It’s Dead Jim.”
Worse, is that this appears fully intentional. They think people will forget.
But it is crappy, watery beer. I usually drink Yuengling, but I would occasionally drink Bud or Bud Light if I were at a party or sporting event, simply because it is more like drinking water, and lets me have something in my hand, the way some people smoke cigarettes or pipes to have something to do with their hands.
Most guys won’t go back to it, especially when there are choices.
I used to enjoy some of their commercials in the past, but they have totally obliterated even that concept. I expect when the Super Bowl rolls around next year, people won’t be talking about the Bud Light commercials.
LOL, you managed to make the product sound even more repulsive to its target audience!
Need a Dylan Mulvaney sticker pointing to it saying “I Did That”
