Whiskey Riff ^ | 5/17/2023 | Quinn Eaton

Their plan is roll out bottles with camo-print and pictures of the “Folds of Honor” program, which gives children and spouses of those who lost their lives in service an opportunity with educational scholarships.

“It’s an aluminum bottle. I believe it is the only package that will be transitioning, but I am not 100% certain on that.”

LoL. Nice choice of words. But this is some very seriously cynical pandering. Buy our gay beer and we will donate a little to a couple military families?

Great idea, but I think it’s too late now. They have let this drag on for too long.

(Excuse the expression)

Bud has evidently decided to do the exact opposite. Don’t apologize.

They have a very post-modern, arrogant and leftist attitude towards this all: - we are the smartest people in the room - we are righteous - customers are not people, they are simply an amorphous mass that can be manipulated and controlled - we just need to adjust the words and positioning to manipulate them to the response we want

Yeah, change the bottle so that it’s even more clearly identifiable as Bud Light which people are avoiding. That’ll help sell more.

It’s so damn shallow, but maybe it will work. After all the kneeling during the national anthem at NFL games, the NFL pulled out cammo, red, white and blue virtue signaling to gain back their audience. Unfortunately, the didn’t stop the bLM social justice bull chit. They won’t get me back, but they did get back and retain viewers that are easily fooled or just don’t care. These people are so shallow that they don’t know they are being manipulated. These people are so shallow that they don’t have anything better to do than watch football. These people exist when it comes to beer. They are so shallow, unthinking and tasteless that virtue signaling cammo will convince them to drink piss water.

The so-called 'beer' isn't good enough to even be called 'beer'-
all gender politics aside from the issue.

BARF-O-MATIC - On multiple fronts.

Although I really can't make a blanket statement like that
being that I have not drank any of it in over 30 years.
So maybe it has vastly improved over what I remember.

But I kinda doubt it.

One Freeper in April laid out the recovery plan Bud Lite must adopt if they want to have a chance to survive.

" . . . Bud very soon will come up with a beer can honoring the U.S. military and first responders. Flags galore . . . a beer can featuring the flag raising at Mt. Suribachi."

There are clearly gratuitous gestures...

...and then there's this.

To call it insulting would not cover it.

Budweiser should consider some merch to go with their alleged beer. Matching shoes and handbags? Perhaps camo evening wear?

how much of a six pack goes to the scholarships?

ten cents?

a penny?

send the price of a six pack directly to an npo that provides the scholarships

Too little too late. The Clydesdales have left the barn and are not coming back. Woke idiots insult their customers and are trying to make nice with camo bottles and putting children on the bottles. They tried putting a man pretending to be a little girl on the bottle and it did not work. Men like curvy adult women in bikinis not little girls. If they put one child on the can they will be called out as pedophiles. Hey idiots keep on digging. I just checked and their stock is at $57.8 from a high of $67.1. That’s a drop of 12.4 percent. Molson-Coors is also starting to drop after their asinine commercial.

“It’s not Budweiser, it’s ‘America’ beer now! ‘E Pluribus Unum!’ Don’t you stupid hicks get it?”

And in less than two weeks, they’ll turn on a dime and issue a Pride Month can.

Optional: In the 1st ad campaign after all this, get the hottest blonde you can find, put her in the skimpiest bikini just short.of indecent exposure you can find,

Replace the camouflage with camel toe?

Works for me...

"...haven’t drank in years..."

.

I have not drank any hard liquor or beer in years,
but when going out to a nice Italian restaurant I will help
my dining companions finish a good bottle of cabernet sauvignon.

To do otherwise would be wrong.....

Remove dog piss from production line, brew actual beer someone would want to drink, fill bottles and cans.

Then, work on PR campaign.
