New Campaign and Card Game Developed in Partnership with Rabble Games Launches Alongside

the New Bud Light Seltzer Limited-Edition Sangria Splash Variety Pack

NEW YORK, NY - MARCH 7, 2023 – Bananas grow on trees. Dogs only see in black and white. These are just a few of the many misconceptions we encounter in our everyday lives. And while, Bud Light Seltzer can’t correct all the misconceptions out there, they’re setting the record straight on one of them – there is no beer in Bud Light Seltzer!

“Since our inception, Bud Light Seltzer has always been about bringing new, bold, and delicious hard seltzer flavors to market, BUT due to our Bud Light name people still think there is beer in our great tasting seltzer; 54% of people to be exact,” said Steve Wolf, Vice President of Marketing for Bud Light Extensions. “That’s why our new campaign makes it crystal clear - Bud Light Seltzer is ‘100% Hard Seltzer, 0% Beer.’ When people try Bud Light Seltzer, they instantly fall in love with it and our hope is that our new campaign will encourage more 21+ consumers to give us a try, especially our new limited-edition Sangria Splash variety pack.”

New Campaign ‘100% Hard Seltzer, 0% Beer.’ Kicks-Off with TV Commercial

Featuring an intentional shift to elevate the brands look and feel, Bud Light Seltzer’s new campaign directly juxtaposes beer, showing-off its bright colors and lightness by demonstrating the brands full flavors and most importantly – highlighting that Bud Light Seltzer is ‘100% Had Seltzer, 0% Beer.’ It all kicks off with a new TV spot, “Truckin’ Bubbles,” showcasing the refreshing, colorful flavor of Bud Light Seltzer infiltrating a desert of brown-ish, with the brand’s signature bubbles.

Introducing “MISCONCEPTIONS” – Bud Light Seltzer’s New Party Card Game

To further educate consumers that Bud Light Seltzer is ‘100% Hard Seltzer, 0% Beer.’ and to correct other common misconceptions, Bud Light Seltzer is partnering with Rabble to create MISCONCEPTIONS: A tabletop card game that has teams 21+ go up against each other to see who can best decipher what is fact and what is a misconception. Rabble, a company that creates beautiful & inclusive party games, brought the refreshing personality, fun, and signature bubbles of Bud Light Seltzer to tabletop card game form in MISCONCEPTIONS, which is currently available for pre-order at: https://www.budlight.com/BLSmisconceptionsgame.

“Games are not only something fun to do with friends but a great way to learn something new while doing so,” said George Li, co-founder of Rabble. “Bud Light Seltzer’s MISCONCEPTIONS is the perfect card game to play with friends at gatherings all year round while remaining confident in the fact that the Bud Light Seltzer you’re drinking has absolutely no beer in it.”
