Bud Light sales plunge by 23.9% as brand risks losing No. 1 status

Bud Light’s steep sales drops are showing signs of bottoming out — but the struggling beer brand is still on track to losing its No. 1 status in the US following its disastrous marketing tie-up with Dylan Mulvaney.

Sales of Bud Light plunged 23.9% for the week ended May 27 — slightly better than the 25.7% drop a week earlier and marking the first time that the sales decline didn’t grow worse versus the previous week, according to data from Bump Williams Consulting and NielsonIQ.

Target funds group that wants Mt. Rushmore shutdown for being a ‘symbol of White supremacy’ backs destruction of Israel

Fox News Digital found that Target, via its nonprofit foundation, which has been directed by the retail giant’s senior corporate treasurers, funded a grantee pushing to shut down and give away U.S. sovereign land such as Mount Rushmore – believing it to be an “international symbol of White supremacy” and to demilitarize the “violent” U.S. military. The same grantee also supports the destruction of Israel’s Jewish character through what is called the Palestinian “Law of Return” and implementing economic warfare tactics against the Jewish State, such as boycotts and sanctions, to “Free Palestine.” 

This should put Target out of business.

‘Thrown in their faces’: Bud Light salespeople say boycott is hurting commission

Bud Light – The Beer That Makes You Think Cutting Out Your Sexual Organs Is FABULOUS!

Salespeople promoting Bud Light for a Florida–based distributor have grown accustomed to car horns, middle fingers and jokes amid a weekslong boycott, but say they have struggled to ignore thousands of dollars in lost commission pay, two sales supervisors at the distributor told ABC News.

A typical salesperson at the distributor made roughly $2,000 less in May than he or she would have over each of the previous two years, suffering primarily from a decline in Bud Light sales that reached as much as 60% over the week ending on Memorial Day, the sales supervisors said.

How Budweiser forgot the secret of its own success

The Mulvaney stunt could be remembered as one of the worst marketing missteps in history

If Budweiser is the King of Beers, as its slogan claims, then Bud Light has long been the Queen. Launched over forty years ago, in 1982, and now the world’s most successful low-calorie beer, “B Minus” has long occupied a funny sweet spot in America’s sprawling consumer conscience. Also known as “redneck soda,” “frat water” and “turtle jizz” — Bud Light is a product that conveys a mass-marketable sense of irony. That’s what ad men dream about.

Megyn Kelly says drinking Bud Light is like giving ‘a middle finger to women’

Drinking a can of Bud Light is akin to giving “a middle finger to women” due to the brand becoming “uncool” after its disastrous marketing partnership with controversial transgender social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney, according to Megyn Kelly.

“They have no way out [of the boycott],” Kelly said during Wednesday’s episode of SiriusXM’s “The Megyn Kelly Show.”

This Bud’s Definitely Not for You

BUD LIGHT – The King Of Drag Queen Beers

Anheuser-Busch needs to understand the front.

Budweiser conjures up a tapestry of American images: baseball, Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, and charred bratwursts to the tunes of “Yankee Doodle” and “The Caisson Song.” Along with the cotton gin, railroads, and Tin Lizzie, it is the symbol of America’s brawny determination and purposeful citizenry. There is even a limited-edition Budweiser beer stein celebrating the Norman Rockwell centennial, 1894–1994. Anheuser-Busch is the iconic beer enterprise that produces some of the most glorious and memorable advertisements in corporate America — and, unfortunately, we don’t get to see the Bud Clydesdales until the Super Bowl.

Backlash Over Target’s Pride Month Bathing Suit Echoing Boycott of Bud Light

Target is reeling this Memorial Day weekend, with complaints over its Pride Month displays, especially its merchandising of a “tuck-friendly” bathing suit, ballooning into a marketing debacle on the heels of Bud Light’s recent ordeal regarding its promotion with a transgender influencer.

On Friday, Target shares fell for the seventh day, hitting their lowest level in three years. The stock dip is “partially about earnings,” Barron’s reported, as the retailer warned of “softening sales trends” in the first quarter, and “partially about a decision to adjust its LGBTQ+ Pride Month collection.”

Disney mocked for ‘woke-a-thon’ $250M Little Mermaid live-action reboot: with ‘drag queen’ Ursula, King Triton the environmentalist, mixed-race mermen, and ‘affirmative consent’ slipped into prince’s love song

Disney is under fire for ‘wokery’ slipped into its live-action remake of The Little Mermaid, which is projected to bring in $100 million for the company despite mixed reviews this Memorial Day weekend.

Critics and audiences have given the reboot of the 1989 animated classic ‘average’ and ‘unfavorable’ reviews on ratings site Metacritic. Some bash the makers’ efforts to update the film to contemporary social mores.

Naysayers have focussed on tweaks to the plot and lyrics that play around with sex, ethnicity and cultural values to make the 125-minute remake fit with Disney’s progressive politics.
