Feastable displays are facing vandalism in stores as MrBeast has recently been embroiled in a series of controversies involving former staff, longtime friends, significant production issues, and new product launches.
The YouTube megastar has endured a challenging few months. It all began when a close collaborator, Ava Kris Tyson, was accused of grooming, which led to additional allegations regarding a problematic work culture.
Furthermore, MrBeast’s situation has become more complicated with a new legal dispute he is confronting, along with a wave of backlash surrounding the recently announced Lunchly. To top it off, the influencer is also facing a lawsuit from contestants on his upcoming Amazon series, ‘Beast Games,’ with several participants claiming “inhumane conditions” during filming.
As a reaction to the controversies surrounding MrBeast, some individuals have resorted to vandalizing Feastables displays in retail stores.

The initial report came from Catherine Welegi on X (formerly Twitter), who shared images of damaged Feastables displays identified in Germany.
Several other users began to post pictures of vandalized displays, with one user initiating a collection of these incidents.
Individuals have been destroying the displays in various ways, such as ripping off MrBeast’s head, blacking out his front teeth, or even drawing inappropriate images next to his likeness.
One social media user reported that a grocery store in Canada has been “trying to move [Feastables] forever,” but customers were simply not buying them. The store reportedly attempted to give away the products with purchases, but customers continued to discard them, which should be taken with a grain of salt.
In their tweet, they included a photo of a cart filled with Feastables being sold for just 50 cents per bar.

In the preceding months, MrBeast has faced multiple scandals. The controversy first erupted when ex-collaborator Ava Kris Tyson was accused of inappropriate conversations with a minor.
Immediately following Tyson’s scandal, a former employee claimed that MrBeast knowingly hired a sex offender, with Tyson also being involved in the allegations. Additionally, he has been accused of stealing video concepts and fabricating them.
On September 16, a lawsuit was filed against various participants of his upcoming game show, Beast Games, alleging sexual harassment and “inhumane” working conditions on set. An incident during filming resulted in a tower collapsing and injuring a crew member.
