Anheuser-Busch is renaming Budweiser, its most famous brand, as America.

All 12-ounce cans and bottles of Budweiser will feature the word "America" on their labels, instead of Budweiser, in the brand's distinctive cursive font.

The temporary label swap, which starts on May 23 and will go through the presidential election in November, is meant "to inspire drinkers to celebrate America and Budweiser's shared values of freedom and authenticity."

All one needs to do is read the comments. And that will tell you why America is in such a mess. Evil is in control and truth and decency are on the gallows.

Coke II was a rabbit trail ploy to con everyone when the switch from sugar to high fructose corn syrup was made.

The fact that guys who ran tests at the Nevada Test Site were getting buzzed on generic beer is supposed to make me sleep better?

I wonder how this will go down in Canada?

I am shocked...SHOCKED....to see that at sporting events in Canada the Bud logo is seen all over the stadium. This includes the NHL and CFL.

Twenty years ago that would have been heresy.

Then they probably won't be renaming it "America Light".

Hasn't Canada trademarked that name?

Hasn't Canada trademarked that name?"

No. That's "America's Hat."
