What a time to be alive.

FYI Bud Lite is a product, not a company. Anheuser-Busch experienced no discernible loss in revenue from kidd rock shooting cans of beer.
This guardian link states that Anhesuser-Buesch sales have dropped 25%, seems like that would affect it.
Bud Light loses top US beer spot after promotion with transgender influencer

Sales dropped by almost 25% on last year after brand featured Dylan Mulvaney in social media

The Guardian

This is incorrect.

Sales of Bud Light and Budweiser dropped 24.6% and 9.2%,

This is a drop in sales of the product, not the company as a whole.

Would be interesting to know if any of their other offerings experienced an increase in sales
You think the people protesting bud for this are smart enough to know the difference and not buy something else by them? I'd be shocked if you could pick 10 protestors and more than 2 hadn't bought another product by them.

I asked this question of some family members who know people who protested Bud Lite. They said everyone was switching to Miller and Coors instead of Busch, because Busch is also AB InBev.

So at least some of the people upset about the trans thing knew enough to avoid the company, not the brand.

Which shouldn’t be surprising. People are people everywhere, even if they have some misguided views it doesn’t mean they’re idiots in every aspect of their lives. It’s important to remember that, otherwise it’s very easy to dehumanize those you disagree with.

A lot of people on social media are acting like this boycott didn’t work. It totally did. Love it or hate it, it worked.
