      XPost: wny.general, talk.politics.guns, sac.politics       XPost: alt.transgendered       From: yourdime@outlook.com              Bud Light has become so unpopular at a Buffalo, NY bar that it was       completely removed as the the Dylan Mulvaney fiasco continues to haunt the       Anheuser-Busch brand.              Daniel M. Keem, a YouTube personality and podcaster, posted video on       social media showing his local bar do away with the brand that has long       held the title of nation’s most popular beer.              “My local bar finally gave up & is removing Bud Light completely from the       bar permanently,” Keem wrote in the caption of the post that he uploaded       to the X social media platform formerly known as Twitter.              In the video, a local bartender is seen removing the Bud Light handle from       the beer tap and replacing it with a different handle that bears the logo       of Miller Lite.              Miller Lite is a beer brand owned by Anheuser-Busch rival Molson Coors.              “So, Bud Light is so boycotted that it’s being removed [and replaced] with       Miller,” Keem said in the clip.              “It’s being removed from my local bar. Holy s–t. That’s crazy.”              My local bar finally gave up & is removing Bud Light completely from the       bar permanently. pic.twitter.com/8LjJK8M6Lu              — KEEM ?? (@KEEMSTAR) July 27, 2023       Keem is then heard asking the bartender: “Really, nobody’s ordering Bud       anymore?”              “No,” replied the bartender.              Viral video shows a bartender replacing Bud Light with Miller       Lite.Twitter/@KEEMSTAR       It generated positive reactions on X, with one user commenting: “Good       move.”              “Miller Lite is better anyway,” another X user wrote.              “Go woke go broke,” another social media poster commented.              Keem’s video is anecdotal confirmation of sales figures that show       consumers have been shunning Bud Light en masse since early April, when       Mulvaney, the transgender social media influencer, began touting the beer       on her social media pages.              The local bartender confirmed that the business was doing away with Bud       Light.Twitter/@KEEMSTAR       Bud Light saw sales fall 26.1% for the week that ended July 15 — a steeper       decline than the 23.6% drop during the week of the Fourth of July holiday.              The Anheuser-Busch brand has been losing market share to the rivals such       as Modelo Especial, Coors Light, and Yuengling.              Bud Light has seen sales plummet since transgender social media influencer       Dylan Mulvaney began touting the brand on her social media pages.Instagram       Anheuser-Busch told The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday that it was       laying off nearly 400 workers at its corporate offices across the country.              The layoffs won’t impact front-line workers such as brewery and warehouse       staff, the company told The Journal.              The restructuring will eliminate corporate and marketing roles at major US       offices, including in St. Louis, New York, and Los Angeles.              Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth added in the written statement:       “While we never take these decisions lightly, we want to ensure that our       organization continues to be set for future long-term success.”              https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/bar-in-buffalo-ny-banishes-bud-       light-for-good-in-viral-video-following-dylan-mulvaney-fiasco/ar-       AA1eu5W7?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=a7aadce8c2674878a796eb3b2e769eff&ei=26              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
