A recent Facebook event that has gone viral has put the spotlight back on Area 51, the secretive base in the Nevada desert. The event, called Storm Area 51, They Can’t Stop All of Us, has slowly been gaining more steam, and recently, piqued the interest of the Air Force and the FBI, who’ve both urged people against participating.
Jumping into the fray, Bud Light announced, via Twitter, that they, initially, (jokingly?), weren’t going to sponsor the raid, then reversed course within two days.
Now, they’re offering free Bud Light to any alien that makes it out of Area 51!
The only catch? Anheuser-Busch is asking for 51,000 retweets.
Get to it, y’all! CLICK HERE TO RETWEET!
