===2019 Super Bowl advertising===
On March 21, 2019, Anheuser-Busch was sued for false advertising by rival [[MillerCoors]] over a Bud Light commercial that aired during [[Super Bowl LIII]].<ref>{{cite web |last1=Belmonte |first1=Adriana |title=MillerCoors sues Anheuser-Busch over corn syrup Super Bowl ads |url=https://finance.yahoo.com/news/bud-light-super-bowl-ads-lawsuit-174127974.html |website=finance.yahoo.com |date=March 21, 2019 |access-date=21 March 2019 |archive-date=March 22, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190322043047/https://finance.yahoo.com/news/bud-light-super-bowl-ads-lawsuit-174127974.html |url-status=live}}</ref> The commercial claimed MillerCoors' [[Miller Lite]] and [[Coors Light]] products contain [[corn syrup]], but the lawsuit argues that corn syrup is only used during the brewing process as a fermentation aid and neither beer contains corn syrup.
