- Superstar youtuber Mr. Beast launched Feastables chocolate bars in January 2021, and today is selling his bars all over the USA. This CZcamsr brand has already disrupted the industry, but is this shiny new thing a good thing?

Really Feastables should be compared strictly against Hershey and Nestle. MrBeast pays his employees well and isn’t attempting world water domination
But you have to understand that once "Mr beasts feastables" gets big as nestle or Hershey, they will start doing the same damages.
@@chairpants I wonder about that though - Mr. Beast has such a large following, bad PR like that could kill his brand. He would have to stop doing CZcams in order to do the things that Hershey/Nestle/Co get away with
@@sarahwatts7152 bad PR of Chris was pretty bad but not enough tho
@sarahwatts7152 His fans are a cult however. He just has to say sorry, and he'll do better. Then all is forgiven, if needed.

As a European, who has relatvely easy access to some of the best chocolate there is, I wouldn't say Feastables is among the top tier of chocolates. The taste is decent, but it's 5.5 euro per 100g over here (in the US it's ~4 euro per 100g). That's roughly 2x the price of Lindt chocolate, which is significantly better, and almost as expesive as Läderach. In fact, I've spent less per gram at a proper artisanal chocolatier in Liège. Needless to say, I'm probably not going to buy Feastables again, but for a "merch" / "branded" product, it is very good. A lot of celebrities/influencers in my country have their own Pizzas or other products, and most of them are genuinely bad products, whereas feastables only lacks value for money.
i wouldn't factor cost and how it compares in Europe into your decision about it's taste. I can get them at 7/11 for under $2 which is pretty good for a chocolate bar, also 7/11 doesn't sell lindt so that's not a great comparison. he's not out there making THE BEST CHOCOLATE BAR!, he's making decent ones 10/10 on the deez nuts, will eat again. probably this week when my kid asks for more
@@PizzaTrophy I said it tastes decent, not great, but the value is lacking. If you compare it to Hershey's (which kinda tastes like vomit to me sorry Americans don't put fucking butyric acid into food) it's infinitely better.
2$ at 7/11 is still more expensive than Lindt is here, since the Feastables bars are 60g, that puts it at 3.33$ or 3.16€/100g. Lindt can be found for ~2.50€ per 100g quite easily, and I've seen it as low as 1.79€ (1.89$)/100g online (in store it can get even cheaper with offers). For an equivalent amount of chocolate to a Feastables bar (60g) that is 1.13$/1.07€.
I'm sorry but if you're ~2x as expensive as Lindt, there's 0 reason to buy something that only tastes decent.
Feastables is like high C tier (assuming mid C is the peak of a normal distribution) and Lindt is like high B low A, about 1-1.5 standard deviations better, and literally half the price (or even cheaper)
Obviously chocolate availability in America is different than in Europe, but for me to buy a Feastables bar it would have to be probably around ~50-60 cents European? Tbh with how cheap good chocolate is here, there's little point buying anything else.
Edit:
It appears that Walmart online store carries Lindt 125g bars (2x Feastables bars in weight) for 3.26$. If you've never had it before, I'd recommend you give it a try, it's basically the "entry level" swiss chocolate (idk how it would be to an American palette though tbh) [also entry level here doesn't mean "bad" or "inferior", swiss chocolate just gets crazy good but even marginally better options are significantly more expensive due to way smaller scale]
@@morgenanspyrys yeah no one calculating how much per 100g. it's dollars per bar. also i dont think europe is the feastables target audience. also, i've been stationed across europe and i know what good chocolate tastes like. sorry you wasted all that time trying to "convince" me to see a better way. this is america
@@PizzaTrophyDollars per bar lmao? The feastables bar is basically half the size.
That's like saying a McDonald's cheeseburger is better value than a Big Mac, because you're looking at dollars per burger.
@roknovak9991 dude I'm telling you from experience. I don't care how big they are
Most companies are blatantly or openly even / malicious.
At the very least he's not (so far) that's worth something. We can't keep feeding the monsters and bitching that they prosper
Evil/malicious??
Exactly, his mission statement is something that we can see and rate him on. If he changes it means he loses his grip on the market.
It's voting with your wallet, we want this change and if he gets more influence through that, other companies will be forced to change
It's at least dystopian that instead of providing healthcare to blind people so that they can see again, Americans have turned basic human rights into an entertainment format. Mr Beast is the No.1 enabler of that. It's very Black Mirror and really f****d up.
Especially Nestle, good products, horrible company
Feeding the beasts
It’s a weird world we live in but $1 donated to the poor and put on CZcams still means $1 was donated to the poor. Mr Beast seems really genuine about his philanthropy as well
I mean the only think I do not like about Mr beast is that his video are the most bland, souless, garbage, waste of time I have seen in long time, made for kids with a low attention span, it's pretty much a long tiktok the best example of this is the squid game video, the rest is hard to criticize even if he "use" these people and their desperation for views at least he is paying them
Thing*
Yes, this. There's tons of charity going on everywhere not being broadcast on media platforms like CZcams. Just because it is with MrBeast, doesn't change the fact charity is being done. Broadcasting it isn't wrong because it is indirectly funding more. Taking the flack for the whole "blind people" charity as an example; that would not have happened if he wasn't making as much money as he was then. Making more because of broadcasting it isn't wrong. He could've made more doing many other things that weren't charity, and that's not even considering the expense of the procedures in that video. The fact it happens is only a good thing. The fact his popularity is as strong as it is is only a good thing because this means more funding for more and bigger charities. It's win-win-win. Who's being harmed by any of this? The people who are donating? They do so willingly. Some I'm sure are probably donating more than they should or can afford. That's still their choice, but if they can't control their spending any better than that, then at least it's going to be used better than otherwise.
@XionEthernum well Spoken
Only because it makes him money. I bet he wouldnt if it wasnt profitable
Mr. Beast is probably the best case scenario for the face of CZcams. Imagine if that was instead a Jake or Logan Paul. You can call it charity p**n or whatever you want, but the reality is, this inspires more people to be more charitable in their own lives rather than be a complete and utter douchebag. Skepticism shouldn't detract from the fact that this isn't a one off thing and the money he uses from these videos is used for even more charity.
If you think about it. Jimmy doing philantrophy and spending millions on good causes and SHOWS US it's real depsite the intent being to avoid critism... is a win for everyone.
Sure you might think it's underhanded. But see it as this... What would you rather have?
A rich good person giving away millions to something bad.
Or a rich "bad" person giving away millions to something good.
We seen rich people who are good at heart, fall for scams or organsations that are terrible!
But Jimmy here might be a bad person, but heck the money they give away goes to good places.
And even if Jimmy is just using it all for deflection... he ain't the Pauls who are just awful rich people who give away millions to awful things.
I dunno. I see you're point - he's a lot better than the alternatives. But it feels like we're missing the forest of alternative possibilies and looking at a single tree. It feels like a false dilemma somehow. I just want Mr Beast to do even better and have high standards, although I also understand he's probably already doing his best anyway.
@@Anolaana I want everyone to reach for a higher standard, but failing that, having the most popular youtuber being Mr. Beast is pretty good for the most part vs. one of those weird kids channels or someone like Jake or Logan Paul.
I think you might be missing the forest for the trees here. Mr. Beast isn't perfect, not even close, but as a whole, he consistently donates a lot to charity, puts a lot of effort into his content, even if it is clickbaity, isn't a douchbag hustler, is open to have honest conversations and talk to people, and is passionate about what he does (or at least he says he does and I believe him since he's been at this for basically half of his life at this point).
"this inspires more people to be more charitable in their own lives rather than be a complete and utter douchebag" But does it though? People feel good about watching his videos and buying his products and that can give them the "feeling" of doing good without necessarily actually doing good themselves.
Yes, he's better than the Pauls, but that bar is below the floor
@@ltlbuddha I think so. Team Seas and Trees were successful endeavors. At the very least, it emphasizes in people's minds that charity and helping others in need is a good thing.
I think Jimmy has good intentions and genuinely believes in the charitable work he's doing. I used to watch him before he got super big, and when he got his first sponsorship with Quidd he gave the money to his mother and sincerely thanked Quidd for giving him that opportunity. While you could argue that he has a selfish goal of trying to be #1, I think he's trying to do it in a way that creates a feadback loop between helping the world and making good content, whereas the Bill Gates of the world does it primarily for optics to hide their evildoings.
Ya I remember he had gotten a BMW i8 and a house when he started making money, but he didn’t feel any fulfillment from it and liked giving stuff away more. And his car and house was broken into so he was like now I see why rich people are in gated communities lol
@@WolfvineGamingaaa
@@palomab9967 ?
I agree for the most part he has a good heart but I also do believe he’s a business man first, a CZcamsr second, an a philanthropist third
Giving a million bucks to a random dude off the street does not make the world a better place though. Like, it doesn't move the needle even a hair. Bill Gates definitely did more good for the humanity than Jimmy ever will, even if Bill did some shady shit along the way.
a totally curious question...what type of product would Future Proof like to have their brand on, should they become famous enough to do so?
this is a tough one! We've considered all sorts of products, from sustainable socks and underwear (basics that everybody needs and usually buys new) to small items like patches and stickers which won't leave such a lasting footprint. Still in the workshopping phase though, what kinds of products would you like to see from us in the future?
@@FutureProofTVnot the person you replied to but I think it’d be really cool if you had some kind of consulting service for any upcoming business entrepreneurs or something akin to it, I think something like that can be practical to anyone and would have the least impact and smallest footprint
@@FutureProofTV Manscaped
@@FutureProofTV I guess I was thinking eco-friendly cleaning/laundry products or something like reusable produce bags
@@FutureProofTVBuying polyester free underwear is a nightmare. Apparently it's too hard to make something with cotton.
I tried feastibles once just to see what they were like and I thought they were pretty good. I'm not sure I could even pick out different brands of chocolate in a blind taste test, so all I can say is they tasted like chocolate. I would always pick featibles over hersheys just because I'm lactose intolerant and feastibles has flavors without dairy.
I'm in the camp of a person who doesn't care for content creator backed products.
Coz we've already seen it with celebs, it's usually just an existing product that gets modified to whatever gimmick the influencer/celeb has which drives the products popularity that it wouldn't otherwise have without that influencer/celeb backing it, whether it's drinks, alcohol, food, beauty products etc
And this isn't coming from a position of hate that is by the way, just a general comment, coz I have the same stance with regards to like designer brands where I've laughed that someone will pay like 10x more for a famous brand when that product is probably made in the exact same factory as the product that costs 10x less.
We feel similarly! There isn't usually quality behind these products and if there is there's no real way to know if the creator who funded it ensured this or if it's a PR strategy. However, if the latter is the case it's usually a net positive so we like to pick and choose our battles ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ appreciate the insight!
@@FutureProofTV True 🙏🏿
I've had a Feastables bar before. I'd say the best word to describe it would be "Simple". It's chocolate. No particular richness, flair, crazy flavor, etc. It tastes like how I'd expect generic chocolate to taste. (Albeit, without that signature Hershey's acid-y flavor)
Definitely not worth the price compared to some other options, especially when you compare price per ounce, but it's definitely much more ethical than the child labor using corporate overlords over at companies like Hershey's.
Only issue I possibly have is that with content creators selling these consumable products is it increases consumer spending on stuff they wouldn't have bought before, and it's kind of a waste like there's no way that there were that many people going out and buying chocolate and just switched to feastables, I'm sure a good majority of feastables sales were driven by people who bought it just because of the Mr Beast brand, not because they actually wanted chocolate---and unnecessary spending like that is what I have a problem with
This is a great point, if we're just creating an additional way to spend money instead of replacing one then we're not really helping anybody in the long term ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ thanks for sharing!
I’m a weird way it’s like buying chocolate from a small/medium sized business. You know this money goes towards MrBeast and his many employees instead of to Nestle and their desire to conquer the worlds water sources
@@sethpolevoi4027I'm a weird way...??
Is this the longest sentence I've ever seen in my life? I'm not sure. There's not a period at the end, so is it even a sentence? 😊
@snakedoktor6020 at least there are commas unlike others 😅
So I must be a rock dweller...I have heard of Mr. Beast and his ghost kitchens, but never a candy bar...
😂being a rock dweller doesn't sound so bad these days
I'm glad to hear your perspective of Mrbeast's financial and or ethical motives. It's good to consider other perspectives.
I was a little disappointed the video didn't go into the Feastables supply chain and compare it with other chocolate companies. Where is the chocolate sourced from? What are the working conditions of the people there? Reed (Mrbeast's manager) made a vlog where he went to the source. It would have been nice if you could offer an unbiased overview. For a video titled "The TRUTH about Feastables" it was lacking an answer to the elephant in Feastables' room: are these chocolate bars actually as ethically made as the brand portrays it?
There are companies out there doing ethically-sourced chocolate (at least more ethical the Nestle etc) and taste good.
Tony’s Chocolonely being one of them. They’re great!
If someone is struggling to feed their family and is offered support, i doubt they'll be picky and decline depending if it comes from friends, the government, a charity organisation, a CZcams or someone who wants a moral higher ground. At the end of the day someone in need got the support to keep food on the table.
I'm a fan of Jimmy. I still haven't bought a feastables chocolate bar, but I'm with a lot of other commenters that I think he is genuinely trying to make a difference. I really do feel it's similar to a game show, and don't find it to be exploitative content. If it's making a difference I think it's better than most brands
I tried a couple boxes of them and they were pretty good. Lacking in sugar and flavor but Id attribute that to the low cal healthy aspect of the bar. The plain chocolate was underwhelming but the others had that little extra flavor added to the profile that elevated the bar drastically. Ive had way worse bars for 3x the price from whole foods.
The dark chocolate bar is really good in my opinion. I have started to move away from milk chocolate of any quality and prefer dark. Feastablies is the most accessable.
There is a good book by Anand Giridharadas
about performative philantrophy called "Winners take all", it does not talk directly about mr beast but the concept translate flawlessly.
Verb, philanthropy to keep/make money isnt philanthropy
Mmm... Yeah, folks like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet are well known to have been absolute monsters behind the scenes, but since they've put a tiny fraction of their fortunes into philanthropy, people act like they're good now or something.
But make no mistake... It is simply not possible to get *that* rich in our society without exploiting the hell out of people, and Buffet and Gates, among others, have done far more harm than good.
I'd like to believe that Mr Beast is just a nice guy, and in the absence of direct evidence of him being a monster, it's really tempting to believe that his stuff is the most ethical form of consumption under capitalism... But the odds are not in favor of him being some sort of saint.
I've tried a couple Feastable bars and they're ok. A little bland, but not bad. And Jimmy's probably a good guy. I get the criticism of poverty porn, but he's still doing some good. And if it motivates others to be good or better, it can't be all bad.
Never tried his chocolate because I assumed it would be like most American chocolate
Same
I've tried Feastables a couple times and the flavour is slightly lacking compared to Hershey's and such, but with Mr. Beast's goal of being a "healthier" chocolate bar, its the best they're going to get, the reason Hershey's tastes so good is because of the processed nature of them, they're literally made to taste better through years of research and development. Without being able to make Feastables heavily processed, I feel like the flavour is stuck being mediocre
Not really. If you compare Feastables with more premium chocolate, it still comes as lacking.
„Lacking compared to Hersheys” and „Hersheys tastes so good”? Is this just the American taste buds coming through or are you actually being serious, Hersheys isn’t even legally allowed to be called chocolate in the EU and Canada (the word „chocolate” can’t even be implied to be on the wrapper), and it literally just tasted like powdered milk mixed with water xd
I'm sorry but Hersheys chocolate has a very specific taste that can only be acheived by using cheap bottom of the barrel barely qualifies for the legal definition of chocolate recipes. if you like it more power to you, but that just means you have cheap tastes in chocolate. Which i want to be clear there is nothing wrong with that live your best life and eat the chocolate you prefer. but most people who buy Hersheys do not buy it because they think it tastes better then the higher end brands most people buy it because its very cheap, they know what they are getting, and you can get it almost anywhere. Hershey's is the Mc. Donalds of chocolate bars, Its made as cheaply as possible and as widely available as possible and is just good enough for people to seek it out when they want something familiar. If you prefer it to more expencive brands you probably just don't actually like the flavor of chocolate very much and as such bars with a higher percentage of chocolate are a turn off..
That being said if hersheys is the mac donalds of chocolate bars then Feastables is like the applebees or chili's of chocolate bars.
Hershey's is trash
@@givememychannelback5425ikr, so trash. I feel like there’s a reason why everyone goes for Snickers or Kit Kat; we need something like peanuts or wafers to distract us from how garbage the chocolate is. Hershey’s just gives us the garbage.
I tried a chocolate sea salt Feastables bar and it was pretty good. I'm a sucker for sea salt and chocolate, so it was almost certainly going to be something I liked.
i've had the dark chocolate rice crispy one and it's pretty good. The flavor is definitely comparable to those expensive organic brands.
I'm a Belgian who lives in Switzerland, so chocolate is an extremely culturally important topic for me. I must say that I've never heard of, or seen, mr beast before, so definitely didn't know about the chocolate thing. But based on your video, this explains to me the path Henri Nestlé started upon, into having his family name being one of the most despised in the world.
Good intentions always turn into capitalism sadly...
I tried one of the chocolate bars. It was ok. Tasted like waxy Holiday chocolate imo.
Second fakest tasting chocolate I’ve had
It was very thin
Are we talking candle wax taste or car wax taste?
both probably @@jaystarr6571
I think it’s genius to enlist your fan base to improve the presence quality of the retail display. I do it sometimes for products I need just so I can see what Im looking for.
As a late X-er, I am aware of this guy & a few of his early major stunts, but I’ve probably seen only a literal handful of videos about him & never seen or heard of his products. Obviously I’m not his market but I appreciate this video keeping me apprised of what the ‘kids’ are exchanging their treasure for.
Never seen Mr. Beast criticism that isn't just taking the worst negative interpretation of something and just believing in it because it suits their narrative.
Not saying he's perfect or doing this only out of the goodness of his heart for sure, but still...
Even if he's awful.. we see the results and able to find the truth. What he says he will do, he does... The money he has is being circulated and put back into the community for "avoiding critism of being wasteful?" ...Sounds like a win win to be honest.
As long as no one gets TRUELY HURT.. who cares? Sure he can use those millions he wastes in his videos to give it to more charity and such.. but at this point... he could have easily been like every other youtube millionaire and just not do it... so yea.. I rather take this nessarcy evil.
@@kotlolish its not even a necessary evil its just necessary not only does it fund the charities it funds the videos that make profit to give to charity and the cycle continues do people want mr beast to just give to charity once or something?
I would say that of all the things to have come out of late stage capitalism, Mr Beast is not bad. Perhaps even good.
Very much a product of the system though. And maybe it shouldn't be up to him to do these charitable initiatives, maybe we should just do them, as a society. Like with the blind people, the infrastructure and the people to cure them already existed, the only obstacle was the money. Like with Tuberculosis (if you follow the Green brothers, you know).
You're pretty entertaining man, thanks for sharing, I'm just about to have my first 2 bars LOL!
Feastables is an okay candy bar. I dont buy it cause Im broke
I live in a medium-size city here in Albuquerque, New Mexico. We have a lot of Walmart’s. Each time I try to look for Jimmy Donaldson’s festivals. They are sold out.
Why buy Beast bars when Lindt is cheaper?
As an avid MrBeast fan, Jimmy honestly seems like such a genuine guy. He tries to live a humble lifestyle and, while I can understand the criticisms of performative charity, at the end of the day he's encouraged more people to donate and give to people in need. Something notable that was not mentioned in the video is that all the ad revenue from the Beast Philanthropy CZcams channel goes back into his charity, which is honestly impressive when you see each video averages around 20 million views.
Also, as someone who has tasted every Feastables bar, the Sea Salt and Deez Nuts flavors are easily my favorites.
But he doesn’t live a humble lifestyle… all he does is flex wealth. He pushes consumerism in terrible ways, all of his videos now are dripping in tacky CZcamsr wealth. I mean I watched a video of his where he recently destroyed millions of dollars worth of goods. He bought 5 pristine clearly functional school buses and stacked them on top of each other with a fucking crane, for what? It took up like not even a minute of the video and boom 5 school busses gone forever. It didn’t even look cool. And then I see people be so critical of other creators when they destroy a couple hundred dollars worth of food for a video but somehow Mr. Beast doesn’t get much criticism when he destroys 50000x value. He’d rather give away a Lamborghini for views than give away 100 used cars that would help 100x as people. It feels so shallow, and makes me sad that young people view him as the new pillar of philanthropy. The way philanthropy should be done
Whether or not you like the guy and whether or not his acts have caused people to be more charitable, I can't say. But I can say that humble is NOT the word I would use to describe that dude.
@@monhi64 but thats food you can recycle the fucking school buses infact most of the shit he destroys can be recycled or repurposed the difference between food and and 5 school buses is who the fuck needs 5 school buses? Also did you not see that video where he gave away free cars? It feels like you are lacking the ability to see the needed longevity
Feastables are definitely good! That being said my girlfriends family produces their own chocolate bars in Costa Rica and those are way better lol!
I've had the deez nutz bar and found the taste to indeed be organic, with even the peanut flavor being less delicious than I've come to expect when I indulge in a treat like this
I had his milk chocolate bar and I Have to say I was very very impressed! It was very tasty! I prefer it over Hershey’s! Will deff be a repeat customer!
Also never knew herseys had an organic chocolate bar
Congrats on 400K subs!!🥳🎉
I worked at Target and we sold those chocolate bars for a while. It's so crazy how fast they get completely sold out, and people keep on asking if we still got more in stock when there's none in store
5:03 I was shocked that, when I did a homestay in Japan, the little boys were watching Mr Beast. And it was in Japanese. They had dubbed over Jimmy's voice with this anime protag-esq voice. It sounded so strange, nothing like actual Mr Beast, haha. Just shows how crazy far his reach is.
It’s actually insane how many people think Mr Beast is the second coming of Jesus. I suppose I’m just skeptical.
do you actually think people are being for real when they say that
I didn't know who, or what, a "Mr. beast" was when I bought the plant-based chocolate bars at the grocery store. I really liked the crispy bar. It wasn't that creamy but it wasn't chalky and I liked the flavor. I think they're a tad expensive compared to options like Pergale or Trader Joe's store brand. But, I'd definitely buy them again if the sale price is right.
Being an Australian in a medium sized town, I can say I've seen feastables around the place, hell I even saw one on the ground near a KFC store. When I tried it for the first time the only one I found to be good was the reese's flavour or "Deez Nuts". But the largest one is 4 dollars AUD for 60g of chocolate which in comparison to a typical Cadbury chocolate bar, a 360g of chocolate is only 6 dollars AUD. What I've come to the conclusion is that, while the money may go to a good cause, the reason the business even works is because of the positive brand MrBeast has.
I noticed his products being sold in Woolworths Australia as well
My only question about this is what exactly is up with the fact that MrBeast can legally diss Hershey‘s in his ads and even use their logo? Do they work together behind closed doors?
That's my question too.
Feastables is good, personal favorites are Sea Salt, Milk Crunch. For the cookies its easily the Oatmeal Raisin ones (you'll have to find those in a store, atm). I'd honestly rather buy a Feastables bar these days over any of the big companies. The brand works and they listen to fans about how to improve, etc.
Commenting before watching:
The biggest problem with Mr. Beast products is that they’re associated with Mr. Beast, who I’m wary of and refuse to support in any manner.
I'm interested in why you don't like him
i think the performance charity concept is bad in priciple, but i want him to help ppl, i want him to help the environment and the only way he could fund it is by the videos. He doesn't get his wealth from anywhere else. If he truly is a bad person and doesn't actually care about the problems he is helping, so be it, visually impaired ppl was actually getting better
How have I never heard of this Mr. Beast guy?? Gotta check it out after I catch up on this channel.
I personally think the philanthropy is something he does legitimately like doing, but I do think your right that he absolutely carefully curates a reputation for it to grow his own brand. They aren't mutually exclusive
I've has a feastable bar once and I liked the flavor but I can see why others would not. The chocolate is slightly more bitter than traditional milk chocolates and overall feel "fresher" or "cleaner" to eat. Idk how to describe it but I don't feel disgusting after eating a feastables like I would eating a Hershey's. Hershey's is overly sweet, has a "sour" after taste, and make my mouth feel like tooth decay. If children are going to eat copious amounts of chocolate anyways I think its far better for their health and suguar addictions if they eat feastables.
I honestly can't hate what he does. I don't care for his content, but I really wish more companies took his approach and did a lot more charity. There are so many massive corporations that could be putting so much more money into making people's lives better, even if it was just improving the infrastructure like roads that they use... but they don't, and just do the bare minimum to evade taxes.
'From happy ethically raised cows'?
I'm wondering which masochistic cow they asked 😢
Whether or not Jimmy is here to make the world a better place as his one goal or only does it to build up his social brand, there is no denying the good he does for millions of people.
I don't think his true intentions matter when he already has changed the lives of millions and will continue to do so.
Great video!
When you have the choice between these predatory kids channels, something along the lines of machinima or just any shady individual, Mr. Beast comes out on top easily
I’m 67; A very healthy active 67. I quit consuming sugar in any form years ago. Out of curiosity I bought and tried Jimmy’s chocolate last week. Compared to Godiva and See’s it’s very much subpar chocolate.
thanks for sharing a but of background of mr beast, i constantly hear about this guy but i never watched any of his videos
Out of curiosity, how much of the feedback is coming from U.S. consumers? Are Beast Bars only available in America?
The comparison of Hershey chocolate to any other type is such an American measurement. How does it compare to any other European brand?
They are only available in America. Or at least, they aren't available here in the Netherlands.
From what I'm hearing, it's less sweet, and considering American chocolate is less sweet in general than EU chocolate, they likely aren't as flavourful as EU chocolate either. But Americans are also kind of trained to enjoy that vomit flavour in chocolate, so... 🤷♀️ who knows...
People who think it’s cool to be bad in public but you have to be good in private confuse me. Why not my charity cool or viral? People literally benefit from it.
I saw a box of them for sale in Woolworths (our largest supermarket chain) in Sydney Australia. So they’re getting around.
Feastables should do research on whether people in blinds would buy their chocolate when compared with other brands. Have they done that already? Probably not coz it's quite simple.
i'm sure the philantropy good deed stuff comes from a genuine place, but at the end of the day he's still a business man and entertainer who needs to keep his operation afloat. i don't watch his videos because i dont like the idea of making a chaotic spectacle out of charity and i find some of his production (as far as i know) to be quite wasteful, like the dropping a train in a hole video. that doesnt sit right with me. i do respect him for all the good he's doing though
Feast ales are sold here in Melbourne, Australia and I really like them, they are well priced, the size is quite descant and the taste is actually quite nice. 8/10
I had the mr beast youtube extension where it puts a png of him on all thumbnails, and it was on this too, twice
There are Mr Beast chocolate bars here in Australia but the price is very comparable to luxury brands like Lindt. I'm not sure if its selling that well here though - its a very small chocolate bar compared to the competition. I dont know if the Mr Beast brand will be big enough in Australia as there a LOT of sustainable chocolate brands that are more locally produced and are cheaper than the Mr Beast bars.
Never heard of him or his brands. I count myself lucky.
I'm glad to hear they have plant based options. I get sick when I consume milk products so I'm curious how they will taste. I also do not enjoy the fake taste most mass produced chocolates have now. I usually purchase the higher end chocolate bars so I am curious how the Feastables will stack up.
To be honest... He's still just another rich guy to me. I find his videos entertaining though, so I watch them.
But even if it is just to help people to get more money for videos, that's literally how a charity works... They help people after they ask you for some donations to their cause, then they raise awareness about what they're doing so more people hop onboard.
For a follow up if you’d like to explore the philanthropy of the Hershey company. Take a look into the Milton Hershey school in Hershey Pennsylvania. In short, since he did not have any children Milton Hershey decided to start a school for underprivileged children, it’s still running today almost a century later because of its shares in the Hershey company left behind by its founder. It is a truly incredible place.
I've never seen a Mr. Beast video...
10:53 It takes like 2 seconds to straighten up the displays. I'm honestly kinda surprised the Walmart employees don't do that. I did it when working for a grocery store and a convenience store. Sure some of the brands have people that'll come in and do it sometimes, but usually not frequently enough.
Kind of weird for him to ask his fans to do it though.
I don't want a bunch of random people fondling my food before I get it!
@@jaystarr6571 ... have you ever been in a grocery store?
Social “justice” ≠ philanthropy.
There’s a saying in the car enthusiast community…the coolest car is the car that actually runs. Jimmy is actually doing something…time to be mad at people sitting on the real fortunes
Although I agree that he knows what he is doing ans why it works, I do think that in all interviews, he has made it clear rhat the money means nothing to him to the point that he actually didn't save money for years as also said that owning rich people stuff is just added stress.
I can't say I know exactly his plan, but I do think he likes doing good. He even said he uses the crazy videos to fund the giveaway ones.
As a Swiss, charging 3$ for chocolate is crazy much if you don’t have a rich history of making chocolate well.
I don't really eat much sweets, like normally I wouldn't even think about having chocolate or anything. With this stated I have had growing up different kinds of candy, mostly around Halloween. I have bought these Mr. Beast Bars, to try them, cleaned up the area in which they are in just cause, with no photo taken, and snacked on them a little over a course of time of having them. I really have to be in the mood for sweets to eat them. They are very good. Honestly I have had some of these higher branded candies too. Especially when I was on a vegan diet and found some organic brands and those they are also very good. some can be crazy high in cost. Either way, after having these bars, definitely very good, compares really well, and with a glass of almond or oat milk. It's pretty damn good. The dark chocolate one is my favorite one.
Have never watched one of his videos and have never had any of his products, yet I'm content and don't feel like I've missed out on anything.

I don't see a problem, just some shade throwing & haterism.
My only problem with MrBeast is that he misses the forest for the trees.. he seems to put an emphasis on how individuals impact an issue (pollution, climate change, eye health) instead of putting pressure on corporations.
He does seem like a genuinely good person, but if he actually is concerned with social change, he should focus his attention on the systems and not the individual!
but money
he's a corporation as well in some sort of way so putting the emphasis on the individual person is simply better for him. If he advertises that we normal people demand action from big corporations what assures him that he isn't the next one on the chopping block
@3:08 Is that a Caduceus tattoo or the Motley Crue Serpent? Either way it looks pretty rad.
Also if you compare american chocolate to European, the American one has a bit of a vomit aftertaste. Read about it online folks, and if you're in US, try imported chocolate ;)
I've tried a variety of his chocolate bars and his cookies. I am not a fan of him and don't watch his content but heard about the hype through a podcast I enjoy. The chocolate was ok, I wouldn't compare them to anything beyond hershey & nestle. The cookies were good though and I enjoyed them but felt they were expensive.
I didnt even know that guy existed 😂 Im always impressed by how the algorithm works. I dont follow celebrities and such, so im never recommended those channels, which makes that apparently i dont know about the second most popular yt channel 😂
I've tried a couple different Feastables bars. I like the milk chocolate bar the best and think it is better than Hershey's standard bar. I haven't tried their organic bar. I didn't like Feastables peanut butter bar. I like what Mr. Beast is doing. Even if he does do some things wrong, he's doing more good than any of the major chocolate companies. When you're the face of something, people look for things wrong with you. Idk why but that almost always happens and that's what the major brands have going for them. They can easily swap out a CEO and continue business. If Feastables loses Mr. Beast, there is no more Feastables brand.
here in Germany we have so many influencer ice teas and Energy drinks and frozen pizza 😅
Hearing that some people dislike the taste because it's too high quality was not something I was expecting.
I want to ask some of the people especially critical of mr beast for thinking it’s all a act, would you really throw a hissy fit over if someone donating to charity is a act? Say a person wants to give 500$ to charity just for attention and would you really throw a hissy fit over it ? In the end of the day someone who needed that cash got it.
So... i don't really have anything against the guy, don't really watch his stuff. But i find it a bit sad that our society puts an out of proportion importance on popularity.
A popular person can sell anything these days, but why? Theres an ingrained lack of respect/expectation of expertise in that mindset. The guy is an expert in entertainment, not food science.
Investigating the business of charity from your lens could be a fascinating video (series), especially as your channel has a “help others” vibe to it. Most videos that describe the charity business go into its effects on the population or topic they are supposed to assist, even so-called “sustainability” ones. Also, should charitable contributions that often go to “pet projects”, get the tax benefits of the highest tax bracket, when the contributors often get something in return?
I like Great Value Candy Bars. They're Rainforest Alliance Certified, and the chocolate tastes like artisan quality. I like their milk chocolate, dark chocolate with the almonds, their version of a Snickers bar, and their version of a Milky Way bar
I never even heard of this guy until a few months ago when Louis Rossmann mentioned him. My first time seeing MrBeast was about his controversial hide-n-seek scam.
On a side note, they are available in new zealand .... and my 6 year old recognized the wrapper in my van, i dont know whats a bigger deal.
Fyi good bar
in poland if you want to get feastables you need to pay like 9$
I found them on a stand at my local Tom Thumb, I was so surprised to see Mr Beast there 😅
I work at a supermarket in New Zealand. We sell them. I only noticed recently.
And now I want a chocolate bar 🍫 and I can’t have sugar 🤦🏻♀️
I tried one when i found it at 7-Eleven near my School's
I really like the Design of the Chocolate 🍫 since i can share it with my Friends.
My 7 year old enjoys a feastables bar, I I like the fact that they are not full of rubbish like other choices. The fact that charities also benefit is a win win for me. Even if Jimmy is only charitable to make more and more money (I’m not saying that is the case, just if it were) it’s still money going to charity.
Just became available in Australia too
