How it spread

Trace the origin

After Qatar banned stadium beer sales, Budweiser promised its stock to the World Cup winner. Public replies and press coverage followed alongside paid field boards, crate stunts and influencers. Argentina won, and the brand opened crates and staged victory parties.

Documented milestone; not a measured attention peak. Dates use the stated precision; chart positions are date anchors.
