If the only choice is Bud Light, I will just have water. Bud Light and Coors Light are just the worst beers I can imagine. Not even worth considering. I'd just as soon be 100% sober then drink one.
I doubt it has anything to do with the taste...
Yeah, this is one of those cases of not knowing your own market. While what they did was laudable in a general sense, they should have also realized their core demographic is heavily conservative and that such a move was highly likely to hurt them far more than it would benefit them.
Bud in general and Bud Light in particular is just the worst kind of swill. It's only redeeming quality is being cheap.
If you look there’s plenty of cheap beers that taste at least a little better. When I was in college in the 00s I’d drink Lion’s Head for like $10 a case.
Plus they had little puzzles under the caps so it’s got more value.

Americans realising it came out the tap the whole time
Is that the reason, or is it because it's flavourless pisswater?
Only now did 'Muricans realise the product itself sucks due to that promo?
