   Anheuser-Busch plans to temporarily redesign some of its Bud Light and   
   Budweiser packaging as it scrambles to recover from the Dylan Mulvaney   
   fiasco, The Post has learned.   
      
   Last week, the company held a meeting at its US headquarters in St. Louis   
   with distributors to discuss its strategy for dealing with the backlash,   
   according to sources briefed on the situation.   
      
   Among the new initiatives planned is a temporary redesign of its Budweiser   
   and Bud Light aluminum bottles, according to a distributor who did not   
   want to be identified.   
      
   Anheuser-Busch will produce bottles with a camouflage print and images of   
   the “Folds of Honor” program, which provides educational scholarships for   
   children and spouses of fallen and disabled American military service   
   members and first responders, according to the executive.   
      
   “It’s an aluminum bottle,” the source told The Post, asking not to be   
   named. “I believe it is the only package that will be transitioning, but I   
   am not 100% certain on that.”   
      
   The redesign is part of Anheuser-Busch’s efforts to invest heavily in the   
   brand this spring and summer, as the Post reported. The company kicked off   
   the blitz during the NFL draft at the end of April.   
      
   At some New York grocery stores this weekend, the company offered   
   customers a free T-shirt with the logo ‘Ultra Mom’ for anyone who bought   
   Michelob Ultra products.   
      
   Other likely marketing strategies, experts speculate, include discounting   
   the beer at retail stores and investing heavily in sports marketing, and   
   incorporating the US military and country and western music, farmers, law   
   enforcement, and first responders into their advertising.   
      
   As reported by The Post, nationwide retail sales of Bud Light sales   
   dropped 23.6% versus a year ago during the week ended May 6 — slightly   
   worse than the 23.3% decline for the week ended April 29, according to   
   data from Bump Williams Consulting and NielsenIQ data.

   It won't work and will just be more wasted money. Tranheuser could start   
   to reverse the damage by issuing a real apology and denouncing their   
   involvement in woke ideology. They're already persona non grata with the   
   wokeists for distancing themselves from Dylan, so it's no huge loss at   
   this point.
