Bud Light, what can’t you
do? You take rice and hops and turn them
into a brew that goes down smooth and doesn’t weigh down either your gut or pocket
book. Bud Light, you took Miller Light’s
concept and have kicked its butt since the day you were invented. You overtook your older brother, Budweiser,
and showed it for what it was, a fake American rice imposter of a German beer. Bud Light, you have been America’s most
popular beer for decades and now you have a new distinction. Bud Light is
strong in the self-defense market.

| Don't bring a gun to a Bud Light fight |
Open Carry means something new
today.
KOCO reports that Lein Nguyen, of
Oklahoma City, was working at a Best Stop Food Mart when a woman came in and pulled a gun and
demanded money. No one is sure if
she also demanded Huggies or funny-shaped balloons (pro-tip: round is not funny).
The woman, to make her point,
started beating on Nguyen with her gun, drawing a bruise and drawing Nguyen
into self-defense mode.
That’s when Bud Light, the
national beer of the South (now owned by Belgians, but who cares) came in. Say what you want about Natural (“Natty”)
Light being the hipster cultural favorite or Lone Star’s dubious claims to Texas. There’s Dos Equis’ claim to those who don’t
drink beer often and consider themselves interesting. Bud Light can make most anything interesting.
It can make cars doing left turns for four hours interesting. Bud Light is the beer of the South. And to
Bud Light, Ms. Nguyen reached. And
started tossing.
KOCO quotes: “The store clerk, as some sort of retaliation, took several
cases of beer and threw them at the suspect.” And the suspect fled out the
door, gun in hand.
Of course she did. If you
came to a Bud Light fight with only a gun, you’d flee all that red, white and
blue glory, too.
So, raise a frosty can of ‘Merica in tribute. Bud Light, you did
it again.
