The "Death Star" is the asterisk in the top right corner of the price sticker.
(Apologies for the large images, they are what I could find.)
Good news.
Maybe Sams and WalMart will do the same. The BL just sit there all stacked up neatly and everything around it gets bought up.
Die Bud, Die. Wrote the head clown in St. Louis, told him will never buy any InBev product again. They hate feedback like that.

There are videos that dissect what the different price tags at Costco actually mean. I took notes so I’ve learned the differences. It’s handy to use when shopping there, and I definitely remember the asterisk meaning “it’s on the way out so better grab it now.” Serves them right, especially since they recently doubled down.

Haven’t missed Bud Light since quit buying it back in March or April when this BS started. Fug IAB!
AB needs to bite the bullet and suspend Bud Lite for good. After a reasonable period of time, they can introduce a new Lite Beer with a New label and an Ad campaign geared to the “Old Bud Lite Audience”.
Beware, Costco will stock another ABInBev brand and both will charge more.
I can’t remember ever drinking a BL, but it might have happened once or twice in the last 40 years.

This is how to get the attention of the corporatists..
It may mean its only gone for a while.
Other items that got the star have later returned such as 505 Southwestern Chili Sauce and at my particular store, French’s mustard. [They simply refuse to stock mustard...5 kinds mayo and 2 ketchups but mustard is a no no]. The star also came for Franks hot sauce...we’ll see if it comes back...
Good riddance to AB and Bud Light.
They should probably shut the whole brand down and make it disappear for six months or so. They can bring back the same formula under a completely new name and label, something that doesn't remotely look or remind anyone of Bud Light. Let's be honest, 9 out of 10 people can't tell the difference in Bud Light, Coors Light, Natural Light, Miller Lite, etc. It's all cheaply brewed crap beer that tastes the same as long as it's cold.
It's good this is happening. For far too long big businesses have gotten away with insulting their customers, treating them like idiots, and trying to dictate their values to them instead of honoring the customer's values. Stupid should hurt.
Not true in Van Nuys Ca COSTCO which is just down the road from the Bud brewery in Van Nuys. I was in the store this afternoon and looked. I don’t drink it. Ii prefer Stout, Porter and Brown Ale. In a bit I’m going to have an Old Rasputin from North Coast Brewery
Slightly off topic...just purchased the Kirkland signature Islay Scotch. OH my. What a stellar Islay! Smoky with a hint of brine. Nice, velvety viscosity. And weighs in at 50% ABV (100 proof). Very reminiscent of Ardbeg 10.
Also highly recommended their kirkland 20 and 22 Speyside single malts. Simply amazing. Especially at the Costco price point.
If I drank beer(adult beverages taste nasty to me)I would be boycotting Bud Light.
