Desperate to win transphobic bigots back, Bud Light bottles are going (Army) green
You may recall the mighty backlash Bud Light suddenly faced after its manufacturer, Anheuser-Busch, sent a custom can to trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney in April. Kid Rock was so incensed that he bought a bunch of Bud Light to shoot at. Fox News suddenly decided the only thing worse than drinking Bud Light is drinking Bud Light in a tan suit. One guy started selling his own beer—which is definitely not fermented yak piss sourced from remote settlements in the Nepalese highlands, because that would have been at least twice as expensive—for about $6 per can. And millions of red-blooded American males were morally outraged enough to stop drinking Bud Light during their Wednesday afternoon strip club excursions and fortnightly backyard cockfights.
And so Anheuser-Busch’s high suzerains of subpar suds found themselves scrambling to dig themselves out from the avalanche of delicate snowflakes—all bigoted in their own unique, special ways—that rumbled into town after the company treated a trans woman like any other human being with infinite worth, dignity, and sh*t taste in lagers. And they’re using camouflage to cover up their past marketing campaigns. Literally.
Anheuser-Busch, aware that even MAGAs can remember what they’re angry about for more than a couple of days in a row, issued a mealy statement that said virtually nothing. And now the company is pulling out all the stops to bring those lost lamb-brains back into the fold. By issuing a camo bottle.
Yes, really.
