YouTube megastars Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson, Logan Paul, and Olajide Olayinka Williams “JJ” Olatunji aka KSI joined forces to create the new Lunchly meal, which drew conflicting reviews from the internet.
Each Lunchly food pack includes a Feastable chocolate bar from MrBeast, a Prime energy drink by Paul and KSI, and a main meal choice with three variations. Consumers can have pizza, the turkey “stack ems” crackers, or nachos. Lunchly rivals the already-established Lunchables food brand, and Paul even compared the two products. This huge collaboration of three of the biggest YouTubers today drew the attention of fans from around the world.
As much as the three personalities’ aim is positive, some negative insights about Lunchly emerged from the YouTube community.
Shortly after the official announcement of Lunchly, internet users quickly gave their reviews of the new product collaboration by the three internet giants. One user made remarks about how Lunchly could be promising as a Lunchables competitor.
Some users, however, expressed thoughts that are against Lunchly and the move made by the three YouTubers. Minecraft content creator Dantdm even pointed out how Lunchly is used “for the sake of making money.” As for Lonely Goomba, their description of Lunchly is far more harsh.
More X posts against Lunchly were seen, mainly about the unhealthy ingredients used in the processed foods included in the instant meal. One user even mentioned that Lunchly could be “poisoning” those who will eat it, and another one called the three YouTubers “sellout wannabes” who “want to make you sick.” Negative reviews for Lunchly tend to center around its marketing rather than the product itself. More negative feedback could emerge once fans can actually sink their teeth into it.
Despite critical reviews, the creators behind Lunchly claim that the lunch is a healthy option compared to similar products.
Despite the backlash received from the community, the trio of megastar YouTubers stays firm that Lunchly is “a healthier alternative” to Lunchables. The official website of Lunchly even says that the team behind the new food pack is “driven” by the “commitment to great quality and taste,” while iterating that “there’s no better value on the market.”
The taste reviews for Lunchly will only come out as soon as the food pack hits retailers. The community, however, is already leaning towards not buying the product at all. But again, the influence of the three YouTubers can’t be underestimated, especially since they all have millions of subscribers.
