Sorry I meant to put this here, but the other one came up first in the search.

I had to share this with someone as soon as I read it. Bud Light now selling for less than water in some US warehouses following Dylan Mulvaney fiasco

Once the most popular beer in the US, Bud Light is now selling for less than water in some American warehouses.

Andy Wagner, the manager and 18-year veteran of Glenn Miller’s Beer & Soda Warehouse in Lemoyne, Pennsylvania told the New York Times that a 30-pack of Miller Lite was selling for $24.99, while a 30-pack of Bud Light was priced at $8.99 after a rebate.

“At this point, it’s cheaper than some of the cases of water we’re selling in the back,” Wagner said. “It’s just not moving like it used to.”

“It’s not that they stopped drinking beer,” he added. “They just stopped buying Bud Light.” He said Bud Light parent company Anheuser-Busch broke the “bar rules,” meaning “no politics, no religion.”

The movie 'Too Wong Foo' was released in 1995.

Sheriff Dollard : When the founding fathers wrote the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, what have you. "Liberty and justice for all", they didn't mean that.

Farmer : I can tell you one thing about them founding fathers of America.

Sheriff Dollard : What's that?

Farmer : They sure had fabulous wigs.

Greetings from Reddit! This top Russian ad is making the rounds again and via that, I just learned that the Russian Embassy in Spain tweeted that film out. Yes, the official account! They did that on Jul 29, which probably helped boost the film's viral trajectory. In case you want to add that.

It doesn't really matter how many lawsuits that they file, they are seen as culpable in the eyes of the consumer. That was their brand, in their photoshoot, with the BONDAGE TEDDY BEAR products. For heaven's sake, how far away can a designer and fashion brand distance themselves from the bunny eared gimp masks that they hav already made? And made North West wear at Paris Fashion week? It's ridiculous to say that the fashion house that has been hyped back up to the catwalk by using these shocking tactics are suddenly surprised that their art directors and stylists are using the same shocking tactics.

Something that I notice is how quickly Dylan ascended.

March 12 the TikTok series began, and the Good Morning America article that you linked is from April 15. People don't usually rise to fame that quickly without a PR machine helping them. I suppose that it could also be "connections".

Right? Sad. But I appreciate someone keeping track as I'm not about to follow brands on TikTok. Or have Tiktok, for that matter.

This feels like it could have been a low budget local ad. Am I supposed to know who she is?

Can we finally laugh at our different opinions? That would be nice. The political divide has been horrible for so long.

2003 "Push it" ad is way funnier. While showing product benefit!
