Not happy, huh? Would this be the guy that nonchalantly said that the US wasn’t even the biggest market?

Miller Light says "hold my beer Bud Light".
Sorry, but I'm just not feeling the rage against Miller Lite.
1st of all, this commercial is not a reaction in response to the Bud Light fiasco, as it came out at least 2 months before.
2nd, although I have no problem with pretty bikini clad women, I also have no problem with women who want to be recognized for their brains or productivity. It's ridiculous to infer that women can't be appreciated BOTH for beauty AND for talent. But, whatever.
Don't get me wrong, it's not a great ad, it just doesn't offend me like the whole Bud Light fiasco.

Did Miller Light stay on this disaster of a marketing path or did they do the smart thing and shut up?

"So here's to women, because without us there would be no beer!"
Horseshit, but for the sake of argument, to sort of paraphrase Al Bundy: "Without you, there would be no NEED for beer!" I would also note that Miller DID choose a fairly attractive woman for the ad, and put her in a short(-ish) snug fitting skirt and sweater. That ad is chock full of double standards.

The widget is in the can of Guinness and works that way as you pour into the glass.

As chellim1 said, its just not a great ad. It came out 2 months ago, and it's not offensive as much as it's just a ham-fisted, clumsy while trying to be humorous, 'strong women too' type of ad.

Eh. Her values and personal personality are ugly AF though.

Wife and I were having lunch at the campground we are staying, they have a bar and grill. Bud Light truck Happened to pull up why we were there. So I asked the bartender How's the Bud Light sales have been going ? She said they are selling 1/5 to 1/6 the amount of Bud Lights that they used to.

Bud Light resort to giving its beer away for FREE as it is mocked for offering $20 rebate on unsold cases worth just $19.98 amid another sales drop after Dylan Mulvaney backlash
But she replied: 'Never in my life have I seen a man use a coupon,' and added: 'They will literally make their own brewery before using a beer coupon.'
This is probably pretty accurate. I can probably count on one hand the number of times I've used discount coupons in my entire life and I highly doubt I've ever used one buying beer.

Coors and Miller should split the cost of Alissa Heinerscheid's > $400,000 salary. Really, it's the least they could do...

Funny thing yesterday. Was at the grocery store near me going down the beer aisle with a bunch of cooler storage. There it was... they had pulled all of the bud light out of the cooler.
It was next to the cooler in the aisle as if they were not going to waste any more electricity cooling all that old stock bud light down. I couldn't help but to smile.

The only camouflage that will work is if Budweiser uses another company's label.

Anecdotal sure but when I recently polled two of my friends who were HARD CORE Bud Light enthusiasts both of them responded with a “FUCK NO!” when I asked them if they were still drinking Bud Light.
AB really seems to have destroyed their brand in the eyes of some of their previously most rabid fans that I know.
These were loyal fans who bought almost exclusively Bud Light for decades because it was their favorite beer.
