Flavor Showdown: For the First Time Ever, Fans Will Help Decide Busch Light’s Next Flavor
Busch Light fans have never been shy about sharing their flavor opinions — in fact, at one point, one in every three comments on Busch Light social channels called for the return of fan-favorite flavors. Now, for the first time ever, the brand is launching a first-of-its-kind Flavor Showdown that puts the power directly in 21+ fans’ hands. From now through July 7, Busch Light invites 21+ beer drinkers nationwide to vote on and decide the brand’s next flavor innovation: Lemon, Orange, or Peach.
21+ beer drinkers can go to busch.com/flavorshowdown or comment on Busch Light social posts to cast their vote on which flavor they want to see next from Busch Light. The three flavors on the ballot were chosen based on overwhelming customer feedback and the proven success of past Busch Light flavor innovations. Following the much-anticipated return of Busch Light Apple earlier this year, which sold nearly 1 million cases in its first week alone1, the brand is once again tapping into its fans' passion to shape the future of its flavor portfolio.
Krystyn Stowe, Head of Marketing, Busch Family & Natural Family at Anheuser-Busch, said: “Our fans are some of the most dedicated and vocal beer drinkers in the world, especially when it comes to their favorite flavors. We see their comments, we read their petitions, and we’ve decided it’s time to put the power in their hands. The Flavor Showdown is more than a vote. It’s a direct line to our fans to decide what they’ll be drinking next. We can’t wait to see whether Lemon, Orange, or Peach comes out on top.”
Busch Light is taking the Flavor Showdown on the road, giving fans a chance to make their voices heard in person. The brand will host on-site taste-testing experiences at two of the summer’s biggest events, CMA Fest and NASCAR’s Chicagoland Race, allowing country music and racing fans to sample all three potential flavors before they cast their vote.
Details on how and where 21+ fans can vote on their favorite Busch Light flavor:
• Cast your vote online at busch.com/flavorshowdown or by commenting on Busch Light social posts from May 27 to July 7
• Busch Light Booth at CMA Fest in Nashville, TN (June 4-7, 2026) and NASCAR’s Chicagoland race (July 5, 2026)
The Busch Light Flavor Showdown begins now: will it be Lemon, Orange, or Peach? As fans across the country prepare to cast their votes, the countdown to the final decision is on. Additionally, Busch Light is giving one lucky fan a chance to attend the Chicagoland race and experience Flavor Showdown voting in person through the Busch Light Flavor Showdown Sweepstakes*.
For more information on how to vote, how to enter the sweepstakes, and to stay up to date on which flavor makes it from the ballot to the cooler, follow @BuschBeer on X, Facebook, and Instagram.
Bad Bunny’s Zara Collection Gets Quiet Restock Following Last Week’s Limited Launch
One week after Zara and Bad Bunny unveiled
the Benito Antonio collection, a limited-edition clothing and
accessories collaboration between the fashion retailer
and six-time Grammy Award-winning artist, Zara has quietly restocked (or is in the process of restocking) a
number of sold-out favorites. While many items in the 150-piece Spring/Summer 2026 capsule were gone within moments of
the initial May 21 launch, as of this writing, most of the limited-edition
lineup is back in stock or indicated as “coming soon” on Zara.com.
The unisex collection spans casual cotton tees, lived-in
sweat sets, minimalist evening wear, tailored suits, playful swimwear and
practical accessories, ranging from monochromatic moments to vibrant plaids,
stripes and color-block designs.
According to the duo, the collab was “conceived in Puerto
Rico and rooted in the personal world of Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, the
places that shaped him, the instinct that has guided him, and the identity that
defines everything he creates.” The co-designed drop serves as a continuation
of Bad Bunny and Zara’s existing partnership, as seen recently in the
singer’s Super Bowl halftime show and Met Gala looks.
The capsule is organized into a lookbook featuring 72 distinct outfits, highlighting how
each piece can be mixed and matched, and transitioned from day into night.
Accompanying the collection is a Bad Bunny-led campaign and short film set in Puerto Rico. See a few in-stock
favorites below and visit Zara.com to shop the full Benito Antonio collection,
available in limited quantities while supplies last.
‘Love Island USA’ Asks Fans to “Keep It Kind” on Social Media Ahead of Season 8 Premiere
Coors Banquet® and Wrangler® Team Up with Chase Rice to Drop "Beer Chords," the First Jeans Combining Beer and Country Music, in Celebration of His New Single, "Connie Lou"
Coors Banquet, long favored by rockstars and a staple of cowboy culture, reunites with Wrangler, the legendary denim brand that has outfitted generations of Westerners, for their third collaboration. Together, the iconic brands bring a shared legacy of authenticity, craftsmanship and hard work to life through a limited-edition apparel collection.
The foundation of the collaboration builds on the brands' roots in country culture with the addition of award-winning country artist and longtime Coors Banquet fan Chase Rice. From the dusty campgrounds to the front row of the stadium, this collection celebrates the shared heritage of the artists and fans who define the soundtrack of summer with iconic denim, ice cold Banquet and music on repeat.
At the center of the apparel drop are "Beer Chords," a first-of-its-kind release that turns a country song into a wearable piece. The jeans feature actual chords from Rice's new single, "Connie Lou," printed directly onto the denim using Coors Banquet beer-based ink.
Rooted in the true story of his parents' early days, "Connie Lou" is inspired by a Western romance shaped by rodeo nights and cold beer, which is carried through to the "Beer Chords" in a first-of-its kind way. Before the song officially drops at midnight tonight, the Coors Banquet x Wrangler collection serves as the first place fans can experience "Connie Lou," turning the collaboration into both a fashion release and the song's world premiere.
"Coors Banquet has been part of my story for a long time - from my dad holding two Banquets on the cover of the Cowboys record to writing songs like 'Mr. Coors,' it's always represented something real in my music. That's why this collaboration felt natural," shares Rice. "'Connie Lou' is inspired by my parents' story and the kind of life I grew up around - rodeos, small towns, hard work and cold beer at the end of the night - which is exactly the kind of life Coors Banquet and Wrangler represent, too."
THE COORS BANQUET X WRANGLER COLLECTION
Blending Wrangler's timeless feel with Coors Banquet's Western heritage, the collection features a range of apparel designed to make the perfect country festival season outfit.
Alongside the hero "Beer Chords," The Coors Banquet x Wrangler Collection will feature 32 unique pieces, including men's and women's apparel and co-branded caps. Highlights include the Denim Jersey, Brushpopper Cowboy Cut Work Shirt, Men's Wrangler 13MWZ Cowboy Cut® Jeans, Women's Reworked Short and Women's Printed Vest and Bailey Flare Jeans.
"Wrangler has been the unofficial uniform of country music for decades, seen on the legends on stage as well as the fans in the front row," said Holly Wheeler, Vice President of Global Brand Marketing at Kontoor Brands. "Our partnership with Coors Banquet honors that heritage, blending festival style with rugged functionality. This collection is for those who live for the music and the Western lifestyle, designed to withstand the energy of a summer crowd and the grit of the open range alike."
The limited-edition Coors Banquet x Wrangler collection, including 250 total pairs of Beer Chords, will be available through drops of 125 pairs on shop.coors.com starting at 12:00pm CT on May 28 and June 4 while supplies last.
Postal Service Names Top Cities and States for Dog Attacks on Mail Carriers
Last year, U.S. Postal Service employees suffered more than 5,200 dog attacks. To combat this, USPS is sharing vital safety guidance to help pet owners protect mail carriers and ensure uninterrupted mail delivery.
A monthlong Dog Bite Awareness campaign begins Monday, June 1, with the theme of "Don't turn your back on dog bite prevention."
"Every single day, our postal employees serve their communities across dynamic, fast-changing environments," said Leeann Theriault, employee safety and health awareness manager. "Preventing dog-related incidents requires constant, shared vigilance. This campaign reinforces a vital truth: Animal behaviors can change in an instant, but proactive awareness from both our carriers and the customers we serve can stop painful injuries before they ever happen."
Keep Mail Delivery Safe: Tips for Dog Owners
Even the most predictable pets can act unpredictably when defending territory or feeling startled. Because dogs rely on protective instincts, owners must manage their dogs during delivery times to prevent accidents. Keep your dog in a separate closed room before opening the front door. If you step outside, ensure the door is firmly latched. Always use a leash if your dog is outdoors during mail delivery. Finally, never accept mail directly from a carrier in the presence of your dog, and teach children to avoid doing so, as dogs can misinterpret the interaction as a threat.
Sign up for USPS Informed Delivery and See the Mail on Your Electronic Device Before It Arrives
By using the free Informed Delivery feature, customers can digitally preview incoming mail and packages from a computer, tablet or mobile device. Over 70 million customers have enrolled since the service was launched in 2017. Sign up at informeddelivery.usps.com. This service can help dog owners anticipate when their carrier might arrive.
The Financial and Emotional Damage of a Dog Attack
Protecting your carrier protects your wallet. If your dog attacks a postal worker, you could owe thousands of dollars out of pocket to cover their medical care, lost shifts, replacement clothing and emotional distress.
"I was walking my route when a dog jumped the fence and lunged at me," said San Antonio Letter Carrier Fiona Hudson. "I used my dog repellent and mail bag to defend myself, but it was too late. I was rushed to the hospital bleeding, with a broken bone, a severe arm sprain and was barely able to move. While my physical wounds have healed, the trauma of that vicious attack stays with me. Customers must take responsibility and secure their dogs during delivery hours."
Take Action: Unsecured Dogs Stop Mail Delivery
When a carrier feels unsafe because of a roaming dog, mail service can be temporarily suspended.
Until the carrier feels safe enough to restart delivery, the mail will have to be picked up at the dog owner's local Post Office.
If a carrier feels a house or neighborhood is unsafe to deliver to and there is no way to inform residents their mail service has been suspended, the residents will have to contact the supervisor at their local Post Office for more information. The residents would also have to pick up their mail at the Post Office until it is safe to resume delivery.
If a dangerous dog issue is not resolved, owners can be required to rent a Post Office Box to receive mail.
Armed with Awareness: How Carriers Prevent Dog Bites
Postal carriers undergo extensive safety training to spot potential canine hazards. Carriers are instructed to remain vigilant and exercise the precautions below:
- Announce entry. Rattle a fence gate or make a non-threatening sound before walking into a yard.
- Maintain visual contact. Never startle an animal and always keep eyes locked on the dog.
- Assume dog poses risk Avoid petting or feeding any animal on the assumption that any dog has the potential to bite.
- Block exits. Secure outward-swinging doors with a foot to prevent a pet from escaping.
If a dog attacks, carriers are trained to stand their ground, use their mail satchel as a protective shield and deploy dog repellent if necessary. To stay ahead of these risks, USPS also provides carriers with awareness tools, including handheld scanners that feature built-in dog warning alerts and physical warning cards that are placed into mail sorting cases to alert a carrier of a dog at a certain address.
