Twitch streamer Asmongold conducted a taste test to compare Logan Paul and MrBeast’s new product, Lunchly, against its competitor, Lunchables, and was taken aback by the outcome.
On September 17, KSI, Logan Paul, and MrBeast joined forces to launch Lunchly, featuring a bottle of Prime and Feastables chocolate bars as part of their offerings.
The meal faced immediate criticism from various creators and fans, prompting all three founders of Lunchly to come forward in defense of their product.
Amid the ongoing discussions, Asmongold took it upon himself to evaluate how Lunchly compares to Lunchables, drawing parallels between MrBeast’s new venture and Pokimane’s previously debated cookies.
“It was not nearly as problematic as I thought it was going to be. I thought it was going to be a lot worse, to be honest with you, especially after the reports from MrBeast Burger and stuff,” he remarked.

MrBeast’s ventures in the food industry have been controversial. Not only did he face backlash earlier in 2023 regarding the quality of food from MrBeast Burger, but he also decided to sue the company behind it after users complained about the “revolting” quality. Eventually, he distanced himself entirely from the burger chain.
Asmongold pointed out that Lunchly and Lunchables are “not that much different from each other” regarding their offerings.
“I think this is just another instance of an influencer or content creator white-labeling a brand and then reselling it with an upcharge, kind of like what Pokimane did with her cookies,” he stated.
Last year, Pokimane launched her own cookie brand, facing accusations that her products were simply repackaged Toatzy’s Midnight Mini Cookies. In response, she clarified that they had “refined and improved” the original recipe.
Pokimane’s cookies ignited significant controversy.
Asmongold reiterated his stance, expressing that he found no substantial differences between the two brands and questioned whether kids should consume either product.
This isn’t the first time Asmongold has shared his thoughts on food lately. Earlier in September, he declared fast food venues like Taco Bell as ideal first date spots and reinforced his view by sharing that he took a girl to Whataburger.
