BUD LIGHT becomes official beer of the Area 51 raid

An army of earthlings who believe the U.S. government is hiding the existence of space aliens plan later this summer to storm a Nevada military base where they hope to uncover the truth about extraterrestrial beings.

Specifically, they’ll be tearing up the base—known as Area 51—in search of parked UFOs, caches of disintegrator ray weapons, and, of course, remains of the entities from outer space themselves.

If the Area 51 raid does indeed occur, Bud Light says it wants to be its official beer. The brand even has an Area 51-themed label waiting in the wings. But Bud Light insists it will only become the official beer if it first gets 51,000 retweets of its Area 51 social posts.

Bud Light started with a tweet that read as follows: “We’d like to be the first brand to formally announce that we will NOT be sponsoring the Area 51 raid.”

Two days later, they tweeted this: “Screw it. Free Bud Light to any alien that makes it out.”

Other brands have also been capitalizing on the potential Area 51 raid. Burger King tweeted: "Attention people storming Area 51: if they tell you to bring them to your leader, remember who's king."

And Oreo Cookie chimed in with: "[We are] the only peace offering accepted by aliens at

Area 51."
