"This is the epitome of cultural deprivation in an ongoing tsunami of cultural deprivation," he added.
The company stood by their campaign as they wanted to "authentically connect with audiences across various demographics." A representative also clarified that Mulvany's commemorative can was not available for purchase as it was only a gift to "Celebrate a milestone."
