Because it’s clear they want kids to start drinking budweiser young. It’s marketing budweiser to minors, whether it has alcohol or not.
What do you think all that marketing does? Gets them drinking more budweiser as adults.

Aside from mindless fucking consumerism, what’s the issue?

I think these people haven’t been aware of near-beer sales to kids going back over 60 years. Kids have been able to buy them here in Canada for longer than that, that is just the oldest person I have know to buy a 6pack of near-beer as a 5 year old kid.

Well the industrious kiddos just go to the store buy some juice and some sugar and some yeast.

It’s like marketing a vape with no nicotine to kids

Oh, like candy cigarettes and big league chew.

Yeah… Which was also a bad idea… of which most of the world won’t accept in the modern age.

Big league chew, I guess was a bit more on the fence because it’s less obvious and it avoids any words that directly link it to chewing tobacco.

Amazon sells candy cigarettes.
