MrBeast, as Jimmy Donaldson, has embroiled himself in yet another scandal. This time, it’s promoting his newest chocolate bar, The Feastables. In a video posted by the YouTuber, he compares his chocolate bars to the well-known Hershey’s bars. He tweeted a video of the television commercial, stating:
“I attempted to run this as a national television ad, but it seems to be ‘non compliant’ haha.”
What is the content of MrBeast’s advertisement?
The popular YouTuber known for making larger-than-life films on YouTube did something that resulted in his newest venture’s television commercial being rejected and labeled ‘non-compliant.’ He is seen in the advertisement comparing his chocolate bar, Feastables, to the well-known chocolate brand, Hershey’s. In the advertisement, he mentions Hershey’s chocolate as a bad-tasting bar. He doesn’t stop there, instead of pinning Hershey’s for putting too many ingredients in their chocolate bars.
In comparison to Hershey’s chocolate, he describes his feast tables as great-tasting and bars with just a few ingredients. Furthermore, he says that his chocolate is prepared with “better grade ingredients.” As a result, the television commercial was rejected as non-compliant since the YouTuber repeatedly criticized the other company.
He also adds, “Full disclosure,” when he shares this advertising on Twitter. I believe that YouTube is much superior to television advertisements for conversion. I just wanted to compare how horrible sales advertisements were haha. Anyway, go to feastables.com and get some chocolate. ”
The excitement around the just released Feastables
MrBeast, known for large pranks and massive freebies, has released his chocolate bar, which he says is composed of just five ingredients. Not only that, but the brand promotes itself by naming its product.
“Deliciously creamy, with grass-fed milk.”
This gluten-free chocolate comes in a number of tastes, including Almond, Quinoa crunch, original, and chocolate sea salt, making it a nutritious alternative. The inspiration for this stems from his own life. Donaldson, as MrBeast, suffers from Crohn’s disease, and the goal was to produce a delightful treat with few ingredients.
Donaldson’s tumultuous past
While there is no doubt that he is one of the most well-known YouTubers in the world, he sometimes causes controversy. He recently tweeted that YouTube producers should be permitted to utilize music without fear of a copyright strike. While many other YouTubers have expressed the same thing, this post has elicited a variety of emotions.
A major music label should stop copyright striking YouTubers every opportunity it gets and instead let us use their music and then we YouTubers all rally and get them 10s of billions of impressions on their music for not being cunts to us. Thoughts? 😂

Apart from that, MrBeast’s much-anticipated Willy Wonka video sparked a debate when Liz Marek, a well-known cake designer, and social media celebrity, accused Donaldson of copying a TikTok creator’s idea. She even shared a video in which she said she was requested to prepare the cake but was afterward fired. Despite the fact that she did not identify anybody in the video, the comments section made it apparent who the video was about! Nonetheless, none of these concerns change the reality that consumers like his brand’s chocolates as a result of all of the health claims made for marketing reasons. Though the advertising has since been rejected for disparaging Hershey’s, MrBeast’s video has received over 1.2 million views, with thousands of likes and comments.
