Advertising backfires

Post by Leisher »

Has anyone been watching Miller's response to Bud Light's Super Bowl ads? I've seen a lot of it on Twitter.

Miller is explaining why corn syrup gets used, how it doesn't end up in the beer, that many taste tests have their beer ranked over Bud Light, how they have half the calories as Bud Light, and thanking Bud Light for mentioning them two times in Super Bowl ads. It's the first time Miller Light has been on an ad during the Super Bowl in 20 years.

I've got to think Bud Light might be firing some people after this year.

Plus why would you have the Mountain crush your brand's "knight" and then have the dragon roast your brand's spokespeople for the past few months. I thought that was really odd. Was that a Bud Light commercial or GoT commercial?

It was a GoT commercial more than anything. Honestly, I thought it was the best commercial of the... (wait for it) knight.

Also, people think "corn syrup" bad. So I think the jury's still out there. Haven't seen Miller's response at all.
It's not me, it's someone else.

I don't follow them. It's been showing up multiple times daily as "Promoted" content.

I used to get more political stuff, but I dropped every celeb who goes on and on about politics. Now I follow tech stuff, sports teams, and a couple of personalities that do humor, news, sports without politics. Oh, and a couple of gaming news feeds.

I'm guessing beer comes from the sports.

They should have just rerun the 9/11 tribute commercial.
